Hands down, the timing probably couldn’t be better. With this weekends’ $25.000 win in Dubai and yesterdays’ announcement of their very first customized limited edition of the SteelSeries 5H v2 headset, mousesports is definitely reaching for the sky.

Since December 2007 when SteelSeries: King of The Hill was first announced in the US via GotFrag.com, we have steadily been expanding the concept to other parts of the globe.

At the moment, SteelSeries: King of The Hill is available in the current countries:
For those that don’t know: SteelSeries: King of The Hill is a unique tournament, spanning across different types of games with the same concept. Sign-ups are open to all teams regardless of skill level and via voting, the local community is in charge of deciding which team gets to challenge the currently hill-ruling team in the weekly or bi-weekly KoTH match.

GameSpot’s reporter, James Yu, came by our booth at BlizzCon to get some more detailed information on the newly released World of Warcraft® MMO Gaming Mouse.
Check the video below where Phil, among other things, goes into detail on the mouse software, gives a walkthrough of the 15 buttons and talks about the useful functionality of the pulsating lights:

The SteelSeries slogan was lived out fully this weekend by the professional gaming teams we work with. Attending events across the globe, the teams went home victorious in six different events over three days.

When digging through some product in the basement of the SteelSeries headquarters, I came across a SteelSeries SP signed by Daniel ”Miou” Holthuis, the German all-star Warcraft III player from SK Gaming. This mousepad, along with a bunch of other autographed products, were signed a couple of months ago by our sponsored teams for a charity auction and we ended up having a few leftovers.
Miou signed two gaming surfaces whereof one of them was sold on Ebay for the acution – which means that this is the very last sample.
As some of you might know, we acquired Canadian based Ideazon (most commonly known for the line of Zboard keyboards) a couple of months ago. Along with an acquisition comes a hell of a lot work – hard, but enjoyable and exciting work. Add this to the undermanned summer period and we’re pretty much back to when we last updated this blog.
In order to get things straight, I’m going to run over a few things that has happened since we last showed sign of life here:
1. Our little, precious piece of ultimate MMO hardware, the World of Warcraft® MMO Gaming Mouse, showed its curves and features to the public last weekend in our booth at BlizzCon 2008.
More pictures and info about this baby as well as our newly announced WotLK gaming gear is available here – oh yeah, and pre-order is possible.
