Hello everyone! Some of you may know me, some of you may not (most of you won't). Anyway! I just found out about this and thought I'd share it with some like-minded people (everyone from tasvideos has always been super-cool). It's fast and (obviously) free to sign up and you can get a bunch of free SteelSeries shit, which is just awesome. The giveaway link is http://steelseries.com/10. You get one entry for signing up, and 5 more for everyone you refer. If you want, you can use my link to signup, but I won't take it personally if you don't. http://steelseries.com/10?code=Uxx7VJIb I normally hate these types of things but SteelSeries produces such high-quality gear and I hope someone here wins! You can win almost every current SteelSeries.. product. I've made a list: Mice WoW: Cataclysm MMO Mouse Xai Ikari Laser Kinzu Ikari Optical Ikari Laser "Sudden Attack" edition WoW: MMO Mouse Keyboards 7G 6GV2 Shift Shift Cataclysm Shift Medal of Honor Merc Stealth Zboard Headphones 7H 5HV2 Siberia V2 white and black Siberia neckband Spectrum 7XB Spectrum 5XB Mousepads 9HD SS SP 5L QCK Heavy QCK+ QCK+ limited editions (choice of FNATIC, EG, SK, NATUS, TYLOO, Deathwing, Marine, or Barbarian) And then their glasses... but hey it's free (potentially) You have the option of putting it on your facebook (where they announce the winners) but you don't have to. good luck!

SteelSeries is a manufacturer of high-end computer/gaming peripherals (mice, keyboards, mousepads) that a lot of professional gaming teams use (due to sponsorships or personal preference) You can use a throw-away email address, and you don't have to "sign up" for anything. You don't even have to attach it to your facebook. I guess it takes some effort in order to get enough entries in the draw to actually win, but at the very least, these kinds of topics and threads that people make will draw attention to SteelSeries (obviously the point of any marketing event), who is a big supporter of eSports.

I don't like the big enter key, but they're all (I think?) mechanical and great for gaming.. not something you'd want to sit down and type an essay on or something. :) Besides, it's free (and somewhat expensive) so you could always just resell it if you wanted to.

At least they're better than these keyboards! http://www.wonderfulinfo.com/amazing/keyboard/ With the exception of the roll-up keyboard. Those have their usefulness.

I'm debating locking this thread. This isn't the place to advertise, or spread someone else's advertising.
Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.

Oh, I entered, picking the keyboard that had the arrow keys off to the left because I could use that if it's not made in a very stupid way. What I'd want the most is a good pair of earmuff headphones, but I wouldn't say no to a free new mouse either since the wheel on mine is acting up but not to the point where I can justify buying an entirely new mouse, even if the mice also looked pretty WTF. I selected the Cataclysm mouse, on account of amount of buttons + newer than the other WoW mouse. Not that I play WoW. I kinda refuse to tell people HAY CLICK MY LINK though, so it's not like I'll have any chance to win...

One entry is all it takes! I've had good luck with Microsoft Intellimouse(s). Those damn things last forever. As far as headphones go, I have a pair of Bose QC15s and I am interested to see how they stack up (since Bose is hardly the leading authority in audio quality) against the SteelSeries stuff. For some actual content, one major problem is that this type of high-end gear is NEVER on display at the major electronics retailers (best buy/fry's) near me, so I never have the chance to try out any of this stuff. So despite professional players using it, and endless positive reviews online, I can't ever justify buying something I've never used before

As far as buying mice and keyboards go, it's Logitech all the way for me. As far as headphones go, I adore my Koss Spark Plugs to death, but I've kinda also wanted a pair of muffs. Had a great Denon pair back in the day, but one of the muffs fell off.

I've heard of Koss but know next to nothing about their products. The problem with high-end headsets is that there's so many of them! I've always been a Logitech fan too, but I had many issues with several different G5s and didn't find the G9 to be that comfortable. I bought RAT 7 recently and I love it. I generally prefer mechanical keyboards, and this g15v1 I have is so damn big. I really like their Illuminated keyboard, but that's hardly a gaming-grade board (plus there's a bunch of issues with simultaneous keypresses on their keyboards).

Well, I've heard not so good things about Koss headsets, but their Spark Plugs have some fucking amazing bass for being only small earbuds. I had used the earlier model before, and was absolutely blown away by the sound quality of the Spark. And they're cheap, too.
