Size comparison
As for size, even when I compared the graphs I didn't see much difference.
In terms of length, the smallest one is 120mm and the largest one is about 130mm, so the difference is only about 10mm.There may be bigger differences with other manufacturers, but with SteelSeries the differences don't seem to be that significant.
The difference in width is only a few millimeters, so you don't need to worry about it when choosing.Don't worry about the width, just pay a little attention to the length.
The ideal size will vary depending on the size of your hand and how you hold the mouse, so it's a good idea to compare it to the size of the mouse you currently have.
If you are unsure, you can feel at ease by checking out the products on display at a major electronics retailer or similar.
In terms of weight, the lightest is the AEROX 3 at 68g.
Looking at the graph below, which I made to make it easier to compare weights, the lightest isAEROX 3On the other hand, the maximum weight isRIVAL 650It will be.
The AEROX series mouse features many holes on the top surface (the surface where you place your hand) which makes it lightweight while maintaining its strength.
Although the holes make you worry about water resistance, it is waterproof, so unless you splash a lot of water on it, it probably won't break. Another reason for its light weight is that it is small in size.
The RLVAL650 has a base weight of 121g, but can be made heavier up to 153g by adding weights.
The weights can be placed inside the mouse body by removing the plates on the left and right sides of the mouse. You can put up to four weights on each side, so you can adjust the weight to your liking, such as making one side heavier.
With the trend towards lighter mice, a mouse that weighs 153g feels quite unusual. I recommend this to people who prefer to feel the sensation of moving the mouse more clearly.
RIVAL 650 has a short battery life
As for the battery, most devices can be used for several days or even several weeks with a 2.4GHz wireless connection,RIVAL 650is short at 24 hours.
It is said that you can get 10 hours of use with just 15 minutes of charging, but if you don't want to bother plugging and unplugging cables or don't like using it while charging, I think it would be safer to choose something other than the RIVAL 650.
Only the RIVAL 650 has a slightly narrower CPI (DPI) range
Most CPI (DPI) ranges are between 100 and 18,000.RIVAL 650The sensitivity range is only 100 to 12,000, so if you like using high sensitivity, be careful.

The AEROX 9 has the most buttons
The button isAEROX 9is by far the most common, with 18.The AEROX 9 is suitable for those who play games that require a large number of side buttons, such as MMOs.
For games such as FPS, we do not recommend having too many side buttons as it can lead to accidentally pressing the wrong buttons.
Having more side buttons makes the mouse heavier, but the AEROX series is known for its lightweight design, making this a relatively light mouse.
summary

I hope this will be helpful for anyone who is interested in SteelSeries gaming mice.
