SteelSeries made a name for itself in Europe as a specialized maker of high-performance pro-gamer gear. The company uses a minimalist, no-nonsense, design philosophy that puts function and performance above all else. That means there are no extraneous lights or functions on their gear that don't directly relate to competitive gaming. In an effort to make its presence better known in the U.S. market, SteelSeries is paying a little more attention to aesthetics in addition to high-performance and quality, as evident with its Siberia Neckband Headset. Its recent acquisition of another specialized gaming peripheral company, Ideazon, marks the company's intention to bring pro-gaming quality gear to home gaming enthusiasts.
We test out SteelSeries' top current top offerings, the 7G Gaming Keyboard, Ikari Laser Mouse, 5H v2 Headset and the Siberia Neckband Headset to see how performance and price balances out between the pro and hardcore gamer.

The Ikari mouse is the best mouse that I've ever used. I absolutely love it. I had a set of 5H v2's once, the microphone is horrible. Picks up every little sound. Way too sensitive. I also found the sound to be less than stellar with music and movies.Posted at 5:31PM on Oct 3rd 2008 by Sokkratez
