Best praise vs top criticism for SteelSeries Aerox 5 Wireless

Best Praise
+3 pts
“As somebody pointed out already, I'm gonna give my vote to the Aerox 5 also. The G502 kiiiind of has more buttons on the left side, but 2 of them next to the left mouse button, with 2 side buttons and 1 "sniper button". Otherwise yeah, not much else, nobody really wants more than 2 side buttons unless they want an MMO mouse (Naga). So imo those 2 above will be your best bet, even with your personal sacrifice regarding weight and/or shape for either of those.”

“Biggest issue with Aerox is it requires the software for the buttons to be remapped. No onboard memory.”
