HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

Here are a bunch of great gift ideas for your avid MMO fan this holiday season.

SteelSeries World of Warcraft Gaming Mouse

The SteelSeries World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse has served as a high-quality input tool for players since its introduction, but it's about to become even more useful. A new software update will allow users to customize the mouse's functionality directly from within World of Warcraft's interface, making macro programming easier and removing a layer of software translation to offer faster response speeds. This will allow players to bind macros to any of the mouse's 15 buttons without ever leaving the game. The in-game integration is available now - check out the SteelSeries website http://www.steelseries.com to learn more about the mouse or find where to get your own.
