How to Bluetooth Connect Aerox

Whenever you get a new device or you happened to buy a new Aerox mouse, you're probably looking to connect it via Bluetooth. The method to connect the mice is very simple.


When you get a new gaming wireless mouse, you'll want to connect it ASAP. That's pretty easy with our Aerox line, which includes many wireless devices.

Our mice such as the Aerox 5 Wireless use a powerful system called Quantum 2.0 Wireless, which allows either a 2.4GHz connection or Bluetooth 5.0 for most devices. While we recommend using a dongle for that easy 2.4GHz for lag-free gaming, sometimes you may want to opt for Bluetooth, especially for non-gaming tasks or on your other devices.

If you aren't sure how to Bluetooth connect to your PC, we'll show you how to Bluetooth connect your SteelSeries Aerox mouse.
