Which should you buy, G-Wolves HSK Pro or SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless?
Buy the G-Wolves HSK Pro for competitive FPS players wanting the lowest possible wireless weight and small to medium hands using fingertip or claw grip, though it is not the pick for palm grip players with larger hands and anyone who wants RGB lighting. The SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless suits players who sweat a lot or want spill protection and gram-counters who still want RGB and dual wireless modes, though it is not built for anyone who wants a flagship-tier sensor and large-hand palm grip players needing a bigger shell. Avoid it for buyers who want the longest possible battery life with RGB left on. Our rating of the G-Wolves HSK Pro (8/10): one of the lightest wireless mice available from an established boutique brand, built specifically for fast, competitive FPS play. Our rating of the SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless (8/10): one of the few lightweight wireless mice that backs up its honeycomb shell with genuine spill and sweat resistance.
