Our Verdict
SteelSeries Prime Wireless
SteelSeries Prime Mini Wireless
The SteelSeries Prime Mini Wireless is a scaled-down version of the SteelSeries Prime Wireless. The Mini Wireless is somewhat lighter and has a lower lift-off distance. It also has marginally lower click latency. Both mice are suitable for all grip types and most hand sizes, but the Prime Wireless is better suited for larger hands, while the Mini Wireless is more accommodating to smaller-sized hands.
