SteelSeries Prime + — Wired gaming mouse with Prestige OM switches and OLED display

Overview

This article covers the SteelSeries Prime + — Wired gaming mouse with Prestige OM switches and OLED display, usually just called the SteelSeries Prime+. The short version: if you want a right-handed wired FPS mouse and like keeping your settings on the mouse itself, it is still a solid pick.

If you want wireless or something under 60g, newer mice will suit you better.

The sensor is SteelSeries' TrueMove Pro+ optical sensor. It is rated at up to 18,000 CPI, 450 IPS and 50G acceleration, with accurate 1-to-1 tracking.

Those numbers are more than enough for FPS games. In real aiming, shape and weight matter more than the sensor.

The mouse weighs 71g and uses Prestige OM switches rated for 100 million clicks.

Its standout feature is a small built-in OLED display. Without installing any software, you can check and change polling rate, RGB settings, lift-off distance and CPI on the mouse itself.

Up to five profiles are saved to onboard memory, so your setup comes with you to a work PC or a tournament machine where you cannot install software.

When we checked Amazon.co.Check the retailer's page for the latest user reviews.

That is not an outstanding score, but holding above 4 across that many reviews suggests no major flaws.

What the Specs Tell You

The 18,000 CPI figure stands out, but it should not drive your decision. Very high CPI picks up tiny hand tremors and can make aim less stable.

What actually helps is the headroom of 450 IPS and the ability to tune lift-off distance to your mousepad.

When this mouse came out, 71g counted as light. By 2026, mice in the 50g range are common.

For a solid shell with no holes, 71g is still light, but it will not satisfy someone chasing the lowest weight. If very light mice feel hard to stop on target, though, this weight may suit you well.

Compatibility Guide

The mouse is listed as compatible with Windows and macOS and only needs a USB port. Basic functions (tracking, clicks, scroll) work without drivers, and settings you make on the OLED are stored on the mouse.

• Software: For deeper customization, use SteelSeries' free software (SteelSeries GG, which includes what used to be SteelSeries Engine). It handles button remapping, macros and detailed lighting. Check the download page for current macOS feature support.
• USB port type: Thin laptops that only have USB Type-C may need an adapter or hub. Compare your ports with the cable details on the product page before you buy.
• Handedness: The shape is asymmetrical and designed for the right hand. It does not work for left-handed use.
• Grip: It suits claw grip and also handles fingertip grip, though people with small hands may find it a little large for fingertip use.
• Mousepad: Lift-off distance is adjustable, so reset it when you switch between cloth and hard pads to reduce unwanted cursor movement when you lift the mouse.
• Cable: The Super Mesh cable has a microfiber braid that drags less than a rubber cable. Low-sens players who make big swipes may still want a mouse bungee.

The specs provided do not list console support (for example, PS5), so treat this as a PC mouse.

Product Info

The price of this mouse changes a lot. On the same Amazon.co.jp product page, we recorded ¥11,250 on August 28, 2026 and ¥5,630 on May 26, 2026, roughly double within about three months.

This is probably due to sales or stock changes, so always check the current price before buying.

Whether it is a good buy depends heavily on the price. At ¥5,000-6,000 it is good value for a wired mouse with an upper-tier sensor.

At around ¥11,000, newer wireless or lighter mice become realistic alternatives at the same budget.

The warranty is one year. The box contains the mouse, the Super Mesh cable and a quick-start guide.

The manufacturer is SteelSeries, and the Amazon.co.jp listing shows Amazon.co.jp as both seller and shipper.

Compared with Alternatives

Where the Prime+ clearly wins is being able to check and change settings on the mouse without software. It is heavier than the Cobra and Xlite V3 and has fewer buttons than the Basilisk V3 35K.

The choice comes down to how much you value portable settings and wired reliability.

Who It's For

• Right-handed, claw-grip FPS players: The accurate TrueMove Pro+ sensor and the not-too-light 71g body work well together if stopping precisely on target matters to you.
• People who switch between PCs: Five onboard profiles, which you can check on the OLED, let you play with the same settings on tournament or work PCs without software.
• Anyone avoiding background software: Basic settings are handled entirely on the mouse.
• Players who don't want to think about batteries: A wired connection means no charging and no wireless interference.

Before You Buy

The OLED display is on the bottom of the mouse. It is not for changing settings mid-match.

You flip the mouse over to use it, so its real job is setting things up before you play and saving them to the mouse. If you need to switch CPI mid-match, set up your CPI steps or profiles in advance.

The shape is right-hand only. It does not suit left-handed players or anyone who prefers a symmetrical shape.

Because it is built for claw grip, palm-grip users should check that the height and rear hump fit their hand.

71g is no longer ultralight. Coming from a mouse in the 50g range, it will feel heavier.

If weight is your top priority, the Cobra or Xlite V3 in the table above are a better fit.

Wired means accepting a cable. The mesh cable reduces drag but does not remove it. If you are used to wireless, plan on using a bungee.

The price swings widely. Our May and August 2026 checks on the same page differed by about 2x.

Buying at the higher price makes it poor value next to newer mice, so check current pricing before you decide.

The 100-million-click rating is a design target, not a promise that every unit will last that long. The warranty is one year, so keep your proof of purchase.

Macros and detailed button remapping may not be available from the OLED, so plan on using SteelSeries' software for advanced setups. Amazon listings also use long product names that are easy to confuse with other Prime models, such as the standard or wireless versions.

Before buying, use the product images and title to confirm that the listing says "Prime +" and mentions the OLED display.

FAQ

Yes. CPI, polling rate, lift-off distance and RGB settings can be checked and changed on the OLED, and five profiles are saved on the mouse.

Macros and other advanced options need SteelSeries' software.

Q. Can I change settings on the OLED mid-match?
A. Not realistically. The display is on the bottom, so set things up before you play.

Q. Does it work on Mac? A.

Windows and macOS are both listed as supported. Basic mouse functions work fine; check the download page for which software features are available on Mac.
