SteelSeries gets Heroes of the Storm

SteelSeries gets Heroes of the Storm

With GAMESCOM having just wrapped in Cologne, Germany, news is still pouring out like a great flood (Dali is going to kill me, thanks to the Great Detroit Flood of 2014), and SteelSeries is right in the middle of it. Heroes of the Storm will allow fans of Blizzard to play with their favorite characters in an epic battle, so why not go into that with some likewise style?

SteelSeries agrees, and have announced a Heroes of the Storm Mouse and QcK Mousepad.

In a press release, Tino Soelberg, SteelSeries CTO said,

Heroes of the Storm has been such a highly anticipated title that we were excicted to create a product exclusively for the game. We knew that Blizzard and players would want a mouse designed for versatility and  that would evoke the aesthetics from within the game. The SteelSeries Engine is such an important component of this mouse in that players can save an unlimited number of profiles and settings for each that would reflect the type of character you’re playing; assigning illumination settings to each of your profiles to differentiate between characters is another way the mouse can enhance gameplay.

Here are the highlights of the mouse:

  • LED illuminated lights that feature the Heroes of the Storm graphic design
  • Tournament-grade buttons
  • Pro-grade laser sensor
  • CPI range from 1-5.700
  • Rubberized surface with “hand-sweat resistant coating” (ewwww!)

It’s mighty fine looking, and all glow-y.

The Heroes of the Storm Mouse and QcK Mousepad will be available later this year for $69.99 for the mouse and $14.99 for the Mousepad.
