The Prime Wireless can store up to five profiles in onboard memory, and as many as you like locally in GG/Engine. It’s still a densely packed but very usable app that allows you to remap inputs, create macros, change DPI presets, adjust RGB lighting, and more. Within the Engine menu of GG, SteelSeries configuration offerings haven’t changed a bit.

GG is currently Windows-only, but Mac users can still configure the Prime Wireless using the legacy SteelSeries Engine app. On Windows, the company recently launched GG, an app that combines the legacy SteelSeries Engine interface with a new streaming platform called Moments.

The Prime Wireless features software support from SteelSeries' configuration software. You can use the mouse wired while it's charging. In my own tests, I found the mouse lasted for over a week without charging with RGBs on, as long as I had power-saving set to shut the mouse down after five minutes of inactivity. According to SteelSeries, the battery lasts up to 100 hours with the RGB lighting turned off and up to 35 hours with the lighting on.

On the plus side, the Prime Wireless’ battery life is very good. And since the dongle’s so large, there’s no dongle storage in the body of the mouse.
To use it with a USB-A port, you'll have to connect an adapter and the mouse’s USB-A–to–USB-C charging cable, which creates a surprising amount of clutter versus the small, simple USB dongles that come with most wireless gaming mice. It plugs into a USB-C port, which is a problem if your computer's USB-C port is less convenient than a USB-A one (or if it doesn't have a USB-C port at all). This durability also reportedly helps maintain click feel, which is important, because the Prime Wireless has a notably satisfying tactile click.Ī strong, stable 2.4GHz wireless connection keeps the Prime Wireless connected, but the larger-than-average wireless dongle is gaudy and somewhat clumsy to use. That’s about as high as it gets, but it’s not an uncommon rating for optical switches. The proprietary Prestige magnetic optical mouse switches are rated to last through 100 million clicks. The mouse does indeed stop tracking when you tilt it at an angle, but there’s little functional difference between that more specific cutoff and simply not minimizing lift detection when the mouse is removed from its surface. SteelSeries claims that its TrueMove sensors, including the Air, feature more accurate tracking of small adjusting movements, and specifically says that the Air detects mouse angle and won’t track unwanted movements when you pick it up or put it down. SteelSeries has always prided itself on making superior internal components, and the Prime Wireless features its TrueMove Air sensor, which tracks at up to 18,000dpi and remains accurate at up to 400 inches per second-that’s pretty high, though not best in class.
That gives you an advantage over someone using a smooth plastic mouse who has to either hold on tightly or put up with slippage. Your hand does not move a millimeter out of place, even in intense and sweaty gaming sessions. The plastic body has what SteelSeries calls a “rough matte” finish, which acts like a grip for the entire surface of the mouse. I wouldn’t call it supportive, but it is a comfy fit. The hump at the top of the mouse doesn’t support the base of your hand as well as it could, but the shape does guide your hand to naturally drape over the mouse, and your thumb and pinky can rest without squeezing the sides. The shape of the Prime Wireless isn't the most ergonomic, but it is quite comfortable. (In fairness, wireless mice are slightly heavier than their wired counterparts across the board.) At 2.86 ounces, it’s light enough for esports, but far from the lightest possible mouse you can get. Measuring 1.69 by 2.75 by 4.94 inches (HWD), it’s a decidedly average size.
