The SteelSeries Aerox 3 is the first gaming mouse to receive an IP54 rating, which we actually find surprising since mouse and keyboards getting drenched in coffee, soda, and energy drinks have long been an occurrence in many gaming setups.

Just make sure to wipe it down after because all that carbonated sugar water is sticky. No more keeping drinks away from your mouse when you’re in the middle of heated play – you can knock that can down, drench the mouse in it, and still continue playing like nothing happened. That’s right, this hole-filled mouse actually boasts water-resistant electronics, so you can spill and splatter your G-Fuel as much as you want without worrying about messing up your peripheral.

The SteelSeries Aerox 3 solves that by being water-resistant. Problem is, all those holes expose the electronics, leaving them susceptible to the spilled drinks that are not that uncommon when gamers start malding during moments of in-game frustration.

It’s a clever solution when making a mouse with plenty of surface area while being as lightweight as possible. It’s not the first time we’ve seen a gaming mouse get filled with perforations on the case to drive its weight down to as low as possible.
