When a franchise goes huge enough, it is bound to get its fair share of merchandise and so is the case with Blizzard’s massive Warcraft franchise which has added another peripheral to its kitty with the SteelSeries World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse Legendary Edition. What makes this one different from mice that have been released previously is that it’s apparently more compact and features better in-game integration, illumination and software functionality.
The ergonomically designed rodent kicks in 16.8 million illumination color options with 4 levels of pulsation. It is mounted with 11 programmable buttons, functions for which can be assigned directly from within the game’s interface. In addition to using the in-game macro scripting language, players can also create their own macros.
Bruce Hawver, CEO, SteelSeries, commented, “We’ve established an incredible partnership with Blizzard Entertainment and the amazing World of Warcraft community. We’ve taken all the excellent suggestions and feedback we’ve received, merged it with the latest gaming technology, and come up with a truly unique lineup of MMO Mice for World of Warcraft players. The new Legendary Edition allows us to meet the needs of gamers looking for a smaller, less complex gaming mouse that delivers the same impressive functionality found in the original and Cataclysm versions.”
This MMO mouse is attached with a 6.5ft braided nylon cable. Its optical sensor technology can be utilized on both PC or Mac systems. Players can also alter the sensitivity of this mouse between 800 to 3,200dpi. Additionally, this peripheral provides users with tracking of 3,600fps which makes it suitable for the MMO title.
The SteelSeries World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse Legendary Edition is shipping in ‘late September’ and will be priced at 79.99 USD (approx. Rs. 3,597).
