Your new laptop might have a built-in trackpad, but that won’t cut it when it comes time to game. For that, we highly recommend reinvesting some of your savings to pick up either the SteelSeries Aerox 5 or 9 wireless mouse. Depending on if you want MMO-style or normal mouse, the Aerox 9 or 5 might fit the bill better. But, either way, these mice feature dual-mode wireless connectivity so at home you can pair to the included USB-C 2.4GHz dongle and then use Bluetooth on-the-go with the simple flip of a switch. Pricing comes in at $80 for the Aerox 5 or $108 for the Aerox 9, both of which cost far less than you’re saving above. Learn more about these mice in our hands-on review.
