Whether you have a Mac mini or a MacBook, a good mouse is always an important piece of any setup. And today’s deal gets you one that will look incredible on your desk: Amazon is selling a SteelSeries Prime+ Esports FPS 18K CPI wired optical mouse with five programmable buttons and nifty RGB lighting for $23, a savings of $57 on the MSRP and well below the usual price.
The mouse is ultra-lightweight with an ergonomic “Esport Pro” design that was developed in collaboration with “over 100 pros for sustained comfort and agility in the most demanding levels of FPS gameplay.” But even if you’re not a gamer you’ll appreciate its minimal aesthetic and subtle RGB lighting on the scroll wheel.
As far as tech, this mouse has a ton of it considering its low price:
- Optical Magnetic Switch: The unique design of the Prestige OM Switch leverages neodymium magnets to deliver the most consistent crispy clicks (at least 100 million of them to be exact)
- TrueMove Pro+ Optical Gaming Sensor: True 1-to-1 tracking, 18,000 CPI, 450 IPS, 50G acceleration, tilt tracking, and a customizable secondary lift-off sensor.
- Full On-Board Customization: Software-free customization of all polling rates, RGB, lift-off distance, and CPI settings.
- Super Mesh Micro-USB Cable: All-new soft microfiber mesh cable provides less drag and a lighter feel for small and large sweeps.
- Built-in OLED display: A monochrome screen on the underside of the mouse displays the current CPI and other settings at a glance.
Just note that this mouse has a USB-A connector so you’ll need a USB-A to USB-C adapter to use it with a MacBook or M1/M3 iMac.
