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.

A Closer Look Contd.

The shape of the mouse is retained from its bigger brothers, coming with a premium ABS-polycarbonate shell, with a VDI30 tactile microtexture body for optimal grip. In terms of dimensions, the Prime Mini has a length of 120.3mm, a width of 66.2mm and a height of 40.7mm. By having a smaller size, it is ideal to be used when traveling along with your gaming laptop:

 

 

 

The Prestige OM switches are also found here for the left/right click buttons, incorporating an optical sensor, an oversized spring but also a magnetic connection. The rubberized scroll wheel is the only RGB segment on this mouse:

 

 

 

On the left side we will note the resting area for the thumb, but also two extra buttons, easily accessible:

 

 

 

On the curved back, we will note a subtle SteelSeries logo:

 

 

 

The right side does not house any additional interfaces, quite usual for mice designed for right handers:

 

 

 

The bottom area comes with 100% pure PTFE feet, while in the middle there is the TrueMove Pro sensor lens. This sensor is capable of 450 IPS / 50G and a maximum 18000 CPI. While this high value can be considered overkill when having a single monitor setup, when working with multiple displays it can come in quite handy. The CPI level selector is also placed on the bottom and if we need to switch to another polling rate value, we need to keep the same button pressed:

 

 

 

Thanks to the use of an USB Type-C interface on the front, it is easier to connect the cable to the mouse and start gaming right away!

 

 

 

The RGB lighting can be configured with a lot of options from the dedicated software:
