SteelSeries, the worldwide leader in gaming and esports peripherals, today announced the launch of the all-new Prime Mini and Prime Mini Wireless esports mice. Building on the award-winning success of the Prime franchise that revolutionized gaming mice technology with the first-ever optical magnetic switches in esports, the newest edition to the Prime series introduces a lineup of smaller, lighter mice featuring the same cutting-edge Prestige OM™ technology.
Fit, feel, and lightning-fast response time are crucial for fast attacks, melees, and (ultimately) wins. Featuring an ultra-lightweight, ergonomic shape with a smaller profile, the Prime Mini is engineered to be 12% lighter and the Prime Mini Wireless is sculpted to be 9% lighter within a form factor mini silhouette.
Each mouse in the Prime lineup is equipped with Prestige OM™ switches that are engineered to last 5x longer than the competition, providing crispy clicks with lightning-fast response times that harness the power of light. The revolutionary Optical Magnetic switches, the first OM switch in esports, actuate at quantum speeds so that gamers can beat the competition to the trigger every time. Not all clicks are made the same – most degrade with each click of the mouse. The unique Prime design utilizes a magnetic core to ensure that the 100 millionth click feels just as crispy as the very first.
The difference between winning and losing can be a matter of milliseconds. Purposefully designed for competition and engineered for performance, the Prime franchise builds on SteelSeries’ 20 years of innovation and pedigree as the original esports brand. Adopted by FaZe Clan’s Twistzz and Karrigan as the ‘go to’ choice for esports tournaments, the Prime franchise was developed with input and feedback from 100+ of the world’s leading competitive esports players.
Every aspect of the Prime esports line was meticulously designed with a single goal in mind: victory. Performance is standard. Features are optional. Gamers can choose from five options based on their style of play, grip, and fit: Prime Mini, Prime Mini Wireless, Prime, Prime+, and Prime Wireless.
• Prime Mini – Smaller. Lighter. Featuring a battle-tested form factor mini shape that has been constructed for sustained comfort at the highest levels of play, the Prime Mini’s ultra-lightweight silhouette weighs in at a mere 61g.
