These peripherals come in the form of PC edition gaming keyboards, a gaming mouse, and a Medal of Honor themed mouse pad. There will also be a set of gaming headsets for the PC and Xbox 360 arriving next year.
SteelSeries 6Gv2 Medal of Honor Edition Keyboard
The SteelSeries 6Gv2 Medal of Honor Edition keyboard is “indestructible,” claims the press release. Calling on their years of experience in designing mechanical gaming keyboards, SteelSeries has opted for 18K-Gold plated mechanical switches. The anti-ghosting feature supports as many simultaneous key presses as there are keys on the keyboard (or as many fingers as there are on a gamer).
The 6Gv2 features media controls, an ergonomic design, no-click switches and iron-infused plastic for durability. Its switch lifetime is a claimed 50 million operations, more than 10 times the lifespan of a typical “membrane” keyboard.
The SteelSeries 6Gv2 Medal of Honor Edition keyboard is internationally priced at €79.99 (±R765). The only local retailer currently listing the product is Want It All, for R1 183.
SteelSeries Shift Medal of Honor Edition Bundle
The Limited Edition Keyset provides an intuitive button layout, labeled keys and the ability to fully customize and remap the entire keyboard in multiple layers. The SteelSeries Shift Medal of Honor Bundle is selling internationally for €99.99 (±R950) and includes the Shift base powered by SteelSeries Engine software, and the interchangeable standard QWERTY and Medal of Honor Keysets.
The Medal of Honor Edition Keyset is also sold separately for €24.99 (±R143). No local availability and pricing information for these products is currently available.
SteelSeries Medal of Honor Edition Mouse and Surface
Skinned with Medal of Honor graphics, the SteelSeries Xai gaming mouse is accompanied by the SteelSeries QcK Medal of Honor Warrior Edition mouse mat, which is made of a high-quality cloth with an optimized textured surface.
The SteelSeries Medal of Honor Edition Xai mouse is priced at €79.99 (±R765) internationally. The MoH edition Xai mouse is listed on Want It All for R1 078. The standard edition Xai mouse is currently listed at Take2 for R633 and Zaps Online for R620.
The QcK Warrior Edition mouse mat is priced internationally at €14.99 (±R143). It can be found on Want It All for R605.
As more local retailers begin to stock these products, we can anticipate the prices normalising slightly.
Rounding off the Medal of Honor peripherals are a set of audio devices.
SteelSeries Medal of Honor Edition Audio
The SteelSeries 5Hv2 Medal of Honor Edition is a PC gaming headset, optimised to be travel-friendly by dismantling into three separate pieces. It includes SteelSeries’ signature retractable microphone.
The SteelSeries Spectrum 5xb Medal of Honor Edition, is designed for Xbox 360 players, boasting directional sounds which aren’t drowned out by the deep bass from explosions. An AudioMixer provides easy access to independent audio and voice controls. The SteelSeries LiveMix feature, found within fingers reach, is the quick-button option to balance Xbox LIVE chat with in-game audio.
These products will be available in early Q1 2011. No images of the Medal of Honor edition headsets are available, but we assume that they will be of similar design to their regular, non-Medal of Honor versions, pictured below.
