## What reviewers say

**SteelSeries Aerox 5 Wireless** — After verification, two of the draft's sources survive: Tom's Guide (which physically tested battery) and TechRadar (which reviewed the mouse but ran no drain test). TechPowerUp was dropped because the fetched URL returned only the review's intro page, leaving its cited weight/battery/latency figures and quotes unverifiable; RTINGS was JS-only. Both surviving sources praise the Aerox 5 Wireless as a light, well-built, versatile 9-button mouse with a fast, accurate sensor; Tom's Guide adds smooth PTFE glide. The headline flaw is battery: Tom's Guide measured only ~12 hours at 1,000Hz with RGB enabled versus the 180h claim. Both note it is expensive (~$140). (2 sourced reviews.)
