Quick review-update-heads-up-ish: CNET Australia sweetened our Monday morning (since the Danish summer weather decided to call it quits), by dropping Editors’ Choice Awards on both the SteelSeries Xai Laser Mouse and 9HD mousepad in two reviews:
SteelSeries Xai - REVIEW LINK
Score: Editors’ Choice Award
Quote:
The Xai is an excellent product that proves a mouse doesn’t need to be custom-moulded to the right hand to be good for gaming. Throw in the detailed control panel and excellent performance, and you have a mouse that’s well worth parting your hard-earned cash on.
SteelSeries 9HD - REVIEW LINK
Score: Editors’ Choice Award
Quote:
The 9HD is an excellent product that deserves a place on any gamer’s desk. Those who haven’t used a mouse mat for years may shirk at the AU$50-$80 cost, but for the rest of us, this should help step up your game.
<3.

Last week saw the announcement of our Heroes of Newerth mousepad design contest, in cooperation with GosuGamers, as a part of the $40,000 SteelSeries HoN World Cup.
Rules are simple: 1. Create a user over on GosuGamers, 2. Send an email to contest@gosugamers.net along with your design, GosuGamers account name, e-mail addy and full name.
The winning design will be chosen and launched as a limited edition custom SteelSeries mousepad. On top, the winner will receive a SteelSeries prize package consisting of a Siberia v2 headset, a Xai Laser mouse, a 6Gv2 keyboard and finally their own limited edition HoN mousepad with the autograph of S2 Games’ (the guys who developed HoN) founder Marc “Maliken” DeForest.
If your photoshop isn’t already loading, something’s wrong. Get going! ;-)

Spring is usually all about getting electric and doing spontaneous moves, and that’s exactly what we’re doing today.
I had a few autographed SteelSeries QcK+ Limited Edition Fnatic mousepads lying around here at the office, which were signed by Fnatic players Christopher “GeT_RiGhT” Alesund and Harley “dsn” Orwall a few months ago.
We’re giving away one of these babies to each of the best two comments to this post, that come up with the most awesome idea for fresh/interesting content here on the blog. Now - be reasonable, but then again let the creative juices flow. It’s not like we’re looking for the most popular content and then we’ll repeat that each month for the remainder of 2010 - no, we simply just like to get your input.
More exclusive prizes from the professional players? More in-depth articles on product development? More random rants and funny stories from the SteelSeries office? You name it.
No regional restrictions on this one - anyone can join in and provide their input. Winners of the autographed SteelSeries QcK+ Limited Edition Fnatic mousepads will be drawn on Thursday 17:00 CET.
Looking forward to this. :-)

Yesterday we finally drew the curtain to reveal our lineup of products for the upcoming Ubisoft PC, Xbox360 and PS3 title, R.U.S.E., consisting of a SteelSeries Xai Laser Mouse R.U.S.E. Edition and a R.U.S.E.-themed, limited edition SteelSeries QcK mousepad.
This is actually the very first modified version of the SteelSeries Xai and we’re extremely excited as it will allow us to offer different, customized R.U.S.E. user profiles for the mouse, as well as recommended profiles from professional players, going forward.
In case you haven’t heard, read or seen about it - R.U.S.E. is a realtime strategy game which introduces new deception techniques and ways to bluff your enemy that’ll blow you away. Make sure to check out the game trailer:
R.U.S.E. is currently in beta and launches in Europe on the 4th of June and North America four days after.
