Upgrade Your Final Fantasy XIV Arsenal with the SteelSeries Aerox 9

MMOs like Square Enix’s Final Fantasy XIV can be delightful to play, but they also require you to remember a lot of different controls. Not only do you need to move around the game world, but you also have to know how to combine attacks, and even initiate those attacks when taking part in the game’s open-world combat.

Now that Square has dropped even more content into the game as of Final Fantasy XIV Patch 6.1: Newfound Adventure, it’s time to start thinking about ways you can make your life easier when progressing through the new quests and content. One way that you can do this is by equipping yourself with a mouse built for MMOs. With the SteelSeries Aerox 9 Wireless Mouse, you can easily initiate abilities and still keep a close eye on the battlefield thanks to its long-lasting battery and 12-button side panel.

Power at Your Fingertips

One of the most important parts of getting better in an MMO is learning which keys trigger which abilities. In games like Final Fantasy XIV, you’re going to find yourself making use of a ton of different attacks, buffs, and other abilities. Normally the game allows you to trigger these abilities using a hotbar at the bottom of the screen, as well as through a series of different hotkeys that you can set up on your keyboard. These macros, as they're called, are perfect for using to attach a variety of buffs and debuffs to so you can pull them off in quick succession, much like a Paladin's rotation or the way a Bard plays music.

With the Aerox 9's useful side buttons, perfect for quick presses, you can move all of that action to your mouse, making it easier to focus on movement while letting your mouse hand take care of the rest. This makes it easier to time your attacks, as you won’t have to move your fingers as far to trigger different abilities. It can increase your response time, which can be critical in Final Fantasy XIV’s PvP modes.
