CHICAGO – Nov. 12, 2008 – At BlizzCon® 2008, SteelSeries unveiled the first-ever World of Warcraft® Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) Gaming Mouse, co-designed with Blizzard Entertainment®. With advanced macro creation capabilities, 15 programmable buttons, six possible DPI settings and 16 million profile-specific illumination colors, the MMO Gaming Mouse goes beyond traditional mouse design to create a new type of in-game controller.
“Our concepts and designs cater to the global community of MMO players and for the first time, World of Warcraft players have a new type of gaming accessory that was created specifically for them," said Bruce Hawver, CEO of SteelSeries. “Through our recent acquisition of Ideazon and the wealth of creativity that the team brought to the table, it was a natural next step that we work with Blizzard Entertainment to create new products that help enhance players’ World of Warcraft experience."
The World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse’s graphic user interface is designed to be familiar to World of Warcraft players, with a look and feel similar to the game’s interface. Illumination is tied to each profile for up to 10 different profiles with more than 16 million color choices. With easy to use drag and drop software, players can program all 15 buttons with over 130 in-game World of Warcraft commands.
Some of the features of the customizable World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse include:
– 15 programmable buttons plus scroll wheel that includes:
– 4 way D pad on left side
– 2 way button on each side
