The Pro Mini costs $179.99 (219.99), while the Pro Mini Wireless costs $239.99 (279.99).
Both keyboards use SteelSeries' new OmniPoint 2.0 switches, which are an upgraded version of the OmniPoint switches used in the original Apex Pro. Unlike traditional mechanical switches, which use metal contacts to register a keypress, these linear OmniPoint switches use magnetic hall effect sensors, meaning they can sense exactly how far a switch has been pressed.
