The Aerox 9 comes with IP54 waterproofing and a battery claim of up to 180 hours of game time.

Aerox 5 also comes with TrueMove Air and is lighter than Aerox 9 as it weighs 74g. The product page of the mouse recommends how to program each button on the mouse based on games like Call of Duty, Fortnite, World of Warcraft, CS: GO, and League of Legends.

Aerox 5 also has a wired version that is cheaper but has similar features. It’s lighter than the wireless version, comes with IP54 protection, and has a custom TrueMove Air precision optical sensor.
