I’m currently waiting for my order of the Glorious Model O Wireless to come in but I thought I’d do a quick post comparing some key differences between these two competitively priced Wireless mice, the Model O Wireless and the Steelseries Aerox 3 Wireless.
Shape
First off, let’s take a look at the differences in dimensions and shape and weight
Model O Wireless
L x W x H : 128 x 37.5 x 37.5 mm
Weight 69g
Aerox 3 Wireless
L x W x H : 120.55 x 57.9 x 21.53mm
Weight 66g
The Aerox 3 is shorter, wider and has a lot shorter hump that is flatter in general. The shorter shape should lend itself to claw grip better than the MOW. The MOW will fit larger fingertip grip users better. Neither of these mice are optimized for a palm grip but will be useable in one if it matches up with your hand size.
Clicks
The Aerox 3 Wireless uses TTC Golden dustproof microswitches which should provide a more tactile, firmer and crispier click than the MOW which uses 20M Omrons.
Sensor
This one is a bit of a push as both Glorious BAMF Sensor and Aerox TrueMove Air provide flawless sensor performance with great battery life.
Feet
The Aerox 3 Wireless uses four small PTFE feet while the GOW uses their familiar G-Skates which are 4 PTFE feet which are larger in size than found on the Aerox.
Cables
Both have USB-C para-cord style charging cables.
Coating
The Aerox has a more textured PBT feeling while the matte on the MOW is smoother feeling similar to the wired Glorious mice.
Battery Life
The Aerox 3 boasts better better battering life topping out at up to 80 hours vs 71 hours on the MOW.
Price
The Glorious MOW is $20 cheaper at $79.99 USD vs $99 for the Aerox 3, but if you factor in the free shipping that retailers that Amazon may provide this lessens the gap in the pricing as Glorious shipping can be expensive.
While this is not a complete review or a full comparison of the two, I will be doing a more detailed comparison when I get both in. This is more a review of the key differences in specs and features of the two mice.
