for me this mouse is the best. my palm just fits so well in this mouse and i got it for 300 nok on winter sale before it was around 800 nok. but overall its good and most comfortable mouse in my life

[@enjiyup]

Next time you weigh the mouse leave the bulk of the cable off the scale. When using it you’re not going to be lifting all of the cable so it should just add a couple of grams. Might be around 73

[@gka-cp8id]

the detachable cable is so that if the cable brakes you can buy a new one from SteelSeries and you mouse will last longer

[@BastyTHz]

still not thing like hold button profile switcher like easy shift, hypershift, g-shift

[@TheVld]

That's one nice mouse right there

[@sense9026]

The mouse cable is detachable because the cable can snap or break so it makes it way easier to just get a new one online not killing the mouse.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Fair

[@dogfaceboye2906]

In the third world where you cant just buy a proper new mouse overnight..a replaceable cable is a god-tier feature.

Nice vid! Will u review the prime wireless model?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Yes, soon and the Prime Plus

[@08edu02]

@@TheProvokedPrawn Cool Keep it up bro, amazing content. 👍

[@nou9791]

[@Gabry179]

Did you buy it?

[@xeniight]

%100 worth it

[@noisenoys]

Hi! I have a steelseries Prime wired and I'm looking for after market ptfe mouse skates, but I only saw mouse skates for prime wireless. are the mouse skates of wired and wireless prime the same? hope u reply. thank you!

[@vinicastro6564]

Ya

[@billiam1989]

Affordable, I am not so sure. 60 bucks for such a basic mouse is just ridiculous, especially in today's gaming mouse market.

[@mariorodas9025]

It has very impressive specs for a 60$ mouse

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Hmm, I guess affordable means different things to different people and that's fair enough, but as mario said, for the money it's very well specced.

[@moepskie]

@@TheProvokedPrawn Nowadays it's permanently priced at 30$ everywhere (except Steelseries store) for some reason. I wonder why.
