Five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory with a Chern-Simons coefficient λ=1 has supersymmetric black holes with a vanishing horizon angular velocity but finite angular momentum. Here supersymmetry is associated with a borderline between stability and instability, since for λ>1 a rotational instability arises, where counterrotating black holes appear, whose horizon rotates in the opposite sense to the angular momentum. For λ>2 black holes are no longer uniquely characterized by their global charges, and rotating black holes with vanishing angular momentum appear.
