SteelSeries Prime Mini Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2021-11-29

The new, smaller form factor feels nice, no matter if we do use a mobile gaming platform or a fully-fledged desktop computer. We have tested the mouse in Age of Empires IV, ArcheAge: Unchained, Control but also OUTRIDERS. The TrueMove Pro sensor did track flawlessly on our cloth pad and we found the 1800 CPI resolution optimal for our 1440P screen resolution.

Packaging, A Closer Look

After reviewing the premium SteelSeries Prime Wireless mouse, we were quite impressed by its high-end sensor, the quality of the Prestige OM switches but also the overall comfortable look. The battery life was quite impressive considering the overall 80g weight of the mouse, but the manufacturer went on and developed even smaller versions of the same models in both wired and wireless variants. These are named Prime Mini and Prime Mini Wireless and share the technical specs with the bigger brothers.

 

This time we have received the wired Prime Mini, which incorporates a TrueMove Pro sensor, with a CPI range of 18000, Prestige OM switches and … has the lowest weight from all Prime series, 61g!

 

 

The product is shipped inside a small cardboard enclosure, showing the mouse in operation:

After unsealing the box, we will note that the mouse sits securely inside a black cardboard mold:

 

 

 

With the Prime Mini, we will also receive the needed USB cable and the Quick Guide:

 

 

 

Inside the guide, we will find a description of the main product components, how to work with the software and so on!

 

 

 

The USB cable is detachable and on the mouse side is USB Type-C, while the interface which goes to the computer is USB Type-A. SteelSeries markets this cable as Super Mesh, being very flexible in order to create less drag and a lighter feel overall:
