SteelSeries Prime+ Gaming Mouse
Product Gallery
Product Overview
SteelSeries Prime+ is a premium wired ergonomic right-handed mouse designed for gaming. Compared to the standard Prime, it upgrades the sensor to SteelSeries' TrueMove Pro+ setup that includes a secondary lift-off sensor.
The TrueMove Pro optical sensor with CPI up to 18,000. It comes with true 1-to-1 tracking without hardware acceleration. On top of it, the secondary lift-off sensor adds depth perception for increased tracking precision. It is accompanied by an OLED display that allows the user to adjust settings such as polling rate, RGB lighting, lift-off distance, and CPI.
This sensor is paired with Prestige OM optical mechanical switches that are more consistent and durable, rated for 100 million clicks. The Prestige OM switch uses a neodymium magnet to achieve consistency, while the optical IR sensor ensures durability and fast response time.
Alongside the Prime and Prime+, SteelSeries also introduced the Prime Wireless.

Reviewer score 85%The SteelSeries Prime+ sports a super lightweight design and a sick OLED display. It has a different sensor, called TrueMove Pro+, which SteelSeries claims has true 1-to-1 tracking. However, it's a bummer that it doesn't have many buttons, you can spend a little more to get a mouse with more buttons.

Reviewer score 43%The SteelSeries Prime+ is a great FPS gaming mouse, but it has significantly higher latency than most wired gaming mice. That said, it's lightweight, feels very sturdy, and has a shape that's well-suited to all grip types and most hand sizes. It has a fairly flexible cable, mouse feet that glide well on all surfaces, a wide CPI range, a CPI you can adjust by increments of 50, and a very low lift-off distance.

Reviewer score 74%The SteelSeries Prime+ is a solidly built mouse that complements high-end switches and sensors. SteelSeries Engine makes it easy to change the default CPI levels, modify acceleration/deceleration, adjust the scroll wheel's brightness level and assign different functions to each of the mouse's buttons. The cable is good, and I don't normally have to deal with any noticeable dragging or tangling.
