Earlier today, Blizzard informed us of the new Diablo-related material that SteelSeries has planned.
Official Blizzard Quote:
Diablo: Looks like @SteelSeries announced their Diablo III mouse and headset earlier today, and like Diablo III: No release date. http://ow.ly/5bz6P
As you can see, they are currently only looking at a Mouse and a Headset to go along with their 2 previous mousepads (Witch Doctor and Barbarian), with no sign of a D3 Keyboard this time around. The Mouse sports an ambidextrous style, so it can be used by both lefties and righties, as well as some other cool features, like 7 programmable buttons, a CPI switch (Counts Per Inch), a plusating D3 logo, and better life support than any other mouse. They haven't set a price for the Mouse, but the recent WoW: Cataclysm mouse they released is currently going for $100. The Headset, on the other hand, also sports that same Demonic Red coloring and illumination, but also has an equalizer, a built-in microphone, and noise reduction abilities. Like the Mouse (and Diablo 3, as Bashiok so bluntly stated), the Headset has no current price or release date, but I'm going to guess that the Headset will go for something around $80.
These items are a must have for any hardcore Diablo fan, or anyone looking for some cool Diablo-related gear to game with.
Clearly. They obviously know Blizzard's release plans
While the Diablo 3 theme is neat, it doesn't have me sold.
I have a Naga epic. Its beastly and i love it. And I have used the Siberia V2's they were sort of tinny, but overall nice. At max it wasn't really that high and when i played slipknot at max i blew out my right speaker so I don't trust Steel Series with headsets. I have Megalodons, 7.1 surround sound and they are amazing max volume is loud the mics amazing and it is just and overall well made headset. You can adjust how much bass and how much you want each set of speakers to play at different volumes.
The mouse look like a very cheap clone of something else, a gold-digger product. In my eyes it only have one effect; glowing Diablo 3 Logo. Thats about it, my ordinary mouse have same features and its a Razor for like 10 dollars.
The headset? Don't need!
I guess I'm not THAT hardcore of a Diablo fan after all, being "meh" about these products, is it just me?
I do have the Diablo 3 t-shirt anyway
Glad to hear it, I could see it being perfect for Diablo since the only time you'd have to use a keyboard would be for chatting. Plus the multi color LEDs are pretty sweet..
Mousepad... got my SS SCII Kerrigan pad.
Siberia have better specs speaker wise and cost much less than the Megalodons.
I've heard some issues about maxed out sound being too quiet, but not about speakers blowing. I think you had some bad luck there.
Yup, not good enough.
