SteelSeries has announced the launch of the all-new Prime franchise, co-developed in collaboration with pros, for pros, to win championships. Designed for competition and engineered for performance, the Prime line of products builds on SteelSeries’ 20 years of innovation and pedigree as the original esports brand.
With input and feedback from 100+ of the world’s leading competitive professional players, every aspect of the Prime line was meticulously designed with a single goal in mind: victory. Inspired by the rally car, the Prime franchise introduces a lineup of lightweight, streamlined mice and a new Arctis headset that features only the best-in-class technology and innovation. All performance. No bells and whistles that can get in the way.
The difference between victory and defeat can be a matter of milliseconds. Each mouse in the Prime lineup is equipped with revolutionary Optical Magnetic switches that are engineered to last 5x longer than the competition, providing lightning-fast response times that harness the power of light. The Prestige OM switches actuate at quantum speeds so that gamers can beat the competition to the trigger every time. Additionally, not all clicks are made the same.
