Steelseries 5L Gaming Mouse Pad Unboxing & First Look

Linus — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 09:47:43 +0000

This mouse pad actually really impressed me. I’ve been using it for a few days as of uploading this video and it’s definitely a worthy replacement for my trusty QCK . Bravo Steelseries. It’s a little bit faster than what I’m used to, but the comfort that I love from cloth is still there!

Steelseries 4H PC Gaming Headset Unboxing & First Look

Linus — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 09:45:54 +0000

Today I take a quick look at the Steelseries 4H headset. This is one of the more basic products in their lineup, but besides the “features” like detachable ear pieces, it’s not very much unlike the 5H V2, but at a very competitive price.

Steelseries 5H V2 USB Gaming Headset Unboxing & First Look

Linus — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 03:15:18 +0000

I’m demoing a product that I’ve actually been using for a while (without the USB dongle, which works great and didn’t even need me to download drivers btw) and I have to say that besides maybe the Siberia V2, the 5H V2 is the most comfortable headset out there for gaming. Yeah the performance isn’t that great for music, but since most people don’t listen to music for 5+ hours in a row, and many people game for that long, comfort is FAR more important than sound quality for a gaming headset.

Steelseries WoW Mouse Unboxing & Comparison with Razer Naga MMO Mouse

Linus — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 03:12:53 +0000

Here I do an unboxing and short comparison of the WoW Mouse from Steelseries against its most direct competition, the Razer Naga. The Naga has an advantage in terms of ergonomics and number of buttons, but the WoW mouse has the upper hand in terms of software integration and buttom layout (if you don’t want all buttons in the same place)

Steelseries Siberia V2 PC Gaming Headset First Look & Unboxing

Linus — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 03:05:48 +0000

This is a product I’ve been quite excited to see for a while. The original Siberia was very well regarded and it looks like Steelseries has made some very compelling improvements to this product. Hopefully I will have a chance to listen to them soon and give my impressions.

Steelseries Merc Stealth Gaming Keyboard Unboxing

Basically I wanted to see the gaming terrain feature of this keyboard in person. That’s the only reason for this unboxing

Steelseries 4HD Gaming Mouse Pad & XAI Laser Gaming Mouse Unboxing

Linus — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 07:00:33 +0000

Really like the Xai so far. Ergonomics aren’t up to the Steelseries golden standard Ikari Laser (most comfortable mouse EVAR) but they are “good enough” and can also be used somewhat ambidextrously since it’s not TOO right handed shaped, and has thumb buttons on both sides.

4HD not really to my tastes, but the semi-rough surface user in my house really likes it so far. Tracking is EXCELLENT for both the mouse and pad.
