SteelSeries, a leader in gaming and esports peripherals, has launched the all-new
Prime franchise, co-developed in collaboration with pros, for pros, to win championships. Designed for competition and engineered for performance, the Prime line of products builds on SteelSeries’ 20 years of innovation and pedigree as the original esports brand.
With input and feedback from 100+ of the world’s leading competitive professional players, every aspect of the Prime line was meticulously designed with a single goal in mind: victory. Inspired by the rally car, the Prime franchise introduces a lineup of lightweight, streamlined mice and a new Arctis headset that features only the best-in-class technology and innovation.
All Specs
SteelSeries has long distinguished itself with high-end construction and components (and pricing to match). Now, with a new series of SteelSeries Prime esports mice, it looks to remind competitive players that simple, high-performance gear is its bread and butter. Similar to the Logitech Pro X Superlight and the Razer Viper Ultimate, the SteelSeries Prime Wireless is a fast and cleanly designed made for players who obsess over speed. With some very minor distinguishing characteristics (not all of which are good), it meets the intense demands of competitive players.
Ready to Compete
In the recently established tradition of esports mice, the SteelSeries Prime Wireless is a very simple right-handed gaming mouse. It employs a five-button design: two main clickers, an RGB-adorned scroll wheel, and two side buttons. A DPI cycle button is located on the underside, along with a power switch.

The folks at SteelSeries wanted to create a gaming mouse that appeared to remove the “bells and whistles that can get in the way.” As such, they’ve created the Prime line. The SteelSeries Prime lineup was released this week in several forms – three mice and a pair of headphones. There’s the SteelSeries Prime, a mouse, Prime+ with customization options, Prime Wireless (a wireless mouse), and Arctis Prime – the headphones.
The SteelSeries Prime mouse is the most basic of the collection, working with a TrueMove Pro sensor, 18,000 CPI range, Prestige OM Switches, and a weight of 69g. While SteelSeries suggests this mouse line does away with bells and whistles, this mouse does have 1 RGB Zone (LED lighting). This mouse will cost you approximately $60 USD.
