Our Verdict
SteelSeries Prime Wireless
SteelSeries Prime Mini
The SteelSeries Prime Mini is a smaller, wired-only version of the SteelSeries Prime Wireless. The Mini is significantly lighter and has much lower click latency. It also has a lower minimum lift-off distance, and the software allows you to set the CPI more precisely. On the other hand, the Prime Wireless feels better built and has a somewhat more consistent sensor. Both mice are suitable for all grip types, but the Prime Wireless is more accommodating for larger hands, while the Mini is better suited for smaller-sized hands.
