Our Verdict

SteelSeries Prime+

SteelSeries Prime Wireless

The SteelSeries Prime Wireless is a similar, wireless version of the SteelSeries Prime+. The Prime+ is a lighter, wired-only model. It has a slightly different sensor with a more precisely adjustable CPI and a lower lift-off distance. It also has a secondary lift-off sensor and an OLED screen on the underside allowing you to change settings without using the software. On the other hand, the Prime Wireless has better quality mouse feet that glide more smoothly. Its cable also has a USB-C connector, making it much easier to replace than the cable on the Prime+, which has an older micro-USB connector.
