Arctis Nova 7 WoW Edition SteelSeries Headset
Optional Booster Packs For Alliance Or Horde
The Arctis Nova 7 Wireless headset is not a new headset as far as the technology goes, with the Arctis Nova 7 being available in many formats for a couple of years already.It is highly rated, however, and this new limited-editionWorld of Warcraftedition offers a sleek gold and black design that looks incredibly classy. The wireless headset has HiFi audio with a special Sonar Audio Software Suite to customize details of audio streams. Its battery life says it should last for 38 hours, with a fast charge speed. There will be special Alliance and Horde accessories that can be purchased separately to customize a headset as well.
I was particularly impressed by the softness of the earpieces.
I have not previously used a SteelSeries headset, although I have friends who have, andI was pleasantly surprised by both the quality of sound and the comfortit offers. The audio quality for both music and game sounds is exceptional, and when using the attached microphone I was clearly heard by friends with little to no feedback. I was particularly impressed by the softness of the earpieces, as I currently have an ear infection and assumed having any headset on would be painful, but it wasn’t. There are many ways to adjust sizes on it as well, offering even more flexibility.
The Arctis Nova 7 Wireless WoW Edition is expected to retail at $199.99 in North America and will include a code for an in-game Grinning Reaver mount.
Because it is wireless, the headset can be used with the PS5 or other systems as well as the PC, and trying it on my PS5 was easy by plugging the receiver into the console.
Aerox 9 Wireless WoW Edition SteelSeries Mouse
12 Programmable Side Buttons Are A Selling Point
As was the case with the headset, the Aerox 9 Wireless mouse is not entirely new, but theWorld of Warcraftlimited edition design is. The mouse has 18 programmable buttons, with 12 of the buttons located on the side, and is easily customized with the SteelSeries software to make it fit anyone’s playstyle or needs. The mouse is backlit behind theWoWlogo emblazoned on it, as well as underneath, with a variety of colors that can be edited. The program also makes itincredibly easy to adjust the movement speed of the mouse cursor, with preset CPI levels or a fully adjustable slider.
I used the mouse inWorld of Warcraftas well as other applications and games, and found it very comfortable to hold and use.
I did play around with changing some of the presets for the buttons and I used the mouse inWorld of Warcraftas well as other applications and games, andfound it very comfortable to hold and use.
