SteelSeries - Prime Mini Wired Gaming Mouse

Hi, I'm in the market for a wireless gaming mouse with a really good sensor and low latency to use for competitive FPS. Price should be <$100USD (including shipping), but I'm down to consider something above if it's really that worth it. My hand size is smaller than the average male, so I prefer "mini" mice. My current favorite mouse in terms of shape and size is the Steelseries Prime Mini. The shape is like a 'D' so I can comfortably palm it and rest all my fingers on the mouse and the size is perfect for my small hands. If there is a mouse that is similar shape and size with a better sensor and lower latency I'll be happy.

Steelseries prime mini, wish it had lighter clicks.

SteelSeries Prime (Mini specifically), as I hate any ergos with a bulge on the right side. The Prime is flat and allows me to curl my pinky agressively backwards. Too bad everything else sucks on that mouse.

Love the bright RGB lighting on this mouse and the G-Pro shape, but as everyone has said it will succumb to the double click issue. Had 2 of these replaced under warranty and just gave up on Logitech. I opened up one of the mice and gave one of the switches a tiny burst of WD40, that helped for a year or so - I have replacement switches scavenged from another mouse but haven't soldered them on yet. Got some heavily discounted Steelseries Prime+ and Prime+ mini mice from Princess auto for $12 and the optical switches on those are going strong.

i also have lamzu thorn but for me the clicks are its biggest downside, it's been 9 months of daily use and i still hate them, i also have that steelseries prime mini which clicks feel better but are also heavier and the mouse is a little outdated having like 8ms of click latency according to rtings so i wouldn't recommend it either what i dont like about thorn switches is the feeling overall, my friend has a viper v3 pro and i wish my thorn had its switches

i reccomend steelseries prime a good solid mouse for 20$. im done with those 100$ mouses that break after 6 months. no matter of reccomandations will change it, one of them is even on this list LMAO.

Not a single budget SteelSeries mouse? Interesting. Imo the Rival 3 or Prime/Prime+ is tough to beat for $20-30 and that's pretty much all most would need even for high rank FPS eSports. Rival 3 alone is sufficient, but afaik Prime is like better version of Rival 3 with better build, sensor and magnetic switches for same price or lower price than Rival 3.

I love steelseries prime's shape and sensor but it's skates are outdated. For Rival 3, I think that it's click and sensor latency are bad and skates are outdated on this gaming mouse too.

G203 Lightsync is better than G102 but it's build quality is not that good. I don't know about the cooler master. Steelseries and Logitech's software are good enough and for the side buttons I'd say steelseries prime is better than the other ones.

Yes grip style is also important so you know what to look for a gaming mouse I recommend the steelseries prime or deathadder V3

I meant to say the deathadder V3 wired version? And about the prime yes it has old specs but you won't really notice it other than the weight because most mice nowadays are lightweight.

Steelseries Prime, had one for a couple years. Simple straight forward mouse, works really well and it's fast. Battery lasts ages, and charges really fast after it dies

Shape is king, man. I'm in the same boat. The Model D (EC1.5 shape) is ideal for my hand and play style. I used the SteelSeries Prime for a while—the length was fine, but the front was too narrow. Switched to the DAV3 Pro, which came close, but slightly too big and the sharp front edges irritated my ring finger. Just tried the Xlite V3 ES—amazing quality, best scroll wheel I’ve used, but the EC2-like shape is too short and I lose stability. I entered my ideal dimensions into EloShapes (between the Xlite V3 and DAV3, but with rounded corners), and the only match that I had not tried was the Glorious Model D 2. I avoided the Pro 1K/4K version because the side clicks pinch my fingers. The RGB version has a slight ring finger rest, which helps. Went with the wired version since the wireless reviews weren’t great—and honestly, it’s better quality than I expected. Scroll is nearly on par with the Xlite V3. I wish there were more options, but I’m happy with it for now. Maybe someday we’ll get a rounded DeathAdder or more EC1.5-style shapes.
