Well, well, it would seem Razer's not the only gaming accessory manufacturer preparing some cool new products for the arrival of one of the most awaited games of all time, Blizzard's StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. So, SteelSeries has also announced that, when the title officially launches on July 27, gamers will be able to also get the company's original co-branded gaming peripherals, which include dedicated keyboards and mouse pads.

So, the maker will offer a complete solution with the StarCraft II Limited Edition Zboard gaming keyboard bundle, which includes the SteelSeries Zboard Base with Z Engine II software, the Zboard Standard QWERTY Keyset for everyday use and the SteelSeries Limited Edition Zboard Keyset (StarCraft II).

The specially designed Zboard Keyset (StarCraft II) provides labeled commands, in-game shortcuts, official artwork from the game, and three race-specific mods featuring special abilities for each of the races. Through its proprietary Z Engine II software, gamers can remap every key on the keyboard, guaranteeing a completely customized experience for each and every user.

Joining the current line of StarCraft II-branded QcK Limited Edition mouse pads, SteelSeries is introducing two new products showcasing in-game artwork. The SteelSeries Limited Edition QcK Tychus Findlay and Marauder mouse pads feature images of the iconic terran marine and the terran heavy infantry unit, respectively. The QcKs are made of a high-quality cloth material with an optimized textured surface, and provide players with a smooth and consistent gliding surface.

“With Blizzard Entertainment’s recent release date announcement for the highly anticipated StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, SteelSeries is excited to introduce new game-specific gear designed to offer high-quality peripheral options and a true immersive experience,” said Bruce Hawver, SteelSeries’CEO.

The StarCraft II Limited Edition Zboard gaming keyboard bundle will retail for 69.99 USD / EUR 64.99, while the SteelSeries Limited Edition QcK Tychus Findlay, Marauder, QcK Marine, and Kerrigan vs. Zeratul mouse pads will sell for 14.99 USD / EUR 14.99. Finally, the SteelSeries Zboard Keyset (StarCraft II) is also sold separately for 24.99 USD / EUR 24.99.
