It’s been two years since Steelseries launched a WoW-based mouse, and now they’re back at it again. This time it’s called a “Cataclysm”, to celebrate the upcoming expansion of Blizzard’s runaway success MMO game, the biggest in the world. Somehow the mouse reminds me awfully of a certain Microsoft mouse.
“Since the release of the original World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse in 2008, we’ve received feedback from thousands of World of Warcraft players, both Horde and Alliance, on how they’ve customized their World of Warcraft mice and what they would like us to do next,” said Bruce Hawver, SteelSeries CEO. “For two years, our R&D team worked hard with Blizzard Entertainment to incorporate the great feedback and to enhance the mouse technology and game integration. The new Cataclysm mouse is the result of that collaboration: it provides a wide range of customization options and delivers a more comfortable, intuitive, and ultimately better experience.”
The mouse has the similar advantage of its predecessor of close software ties to WoW itself, so you’ll have 14 programmable buttons that can handle 130+ preset commands, and the ability to store 10 character profiles in software and one in the mouse itself. The software also controls the LED lights running down the back and “four different pulsation levels” for an extra bit of flair and bling. The mouse will retail for $100 in December, launching alongside World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. So, Razer. What say you?
