SteelSeries make some of my favourite gaming headsets - and RPS' favourite wireless gaming headset, which today is discounted to under £100 versus its normal price of £175. That's a good price for the Arctis 7+, a comfortable and great-sounding headset that works not only on PC but also on Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S - that's all the consoles!
]]>The SteelSeries Rival 3 is the best budget gaming mouse in my eyes - and I've even written articles to that effect - so imagine my surprise and delight when I spotted the even better wireless model is down to £25 at Amazon UK. That's £30 below its UK RRP and a fantastic deal for a mouse that offers both 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth connectivity plus an 18K optical sensor and a comfortable symmetric shape.
]]>These days the best gaming mice often have nearly as many buttons as your keyboard. But at the end of the day, a gaming mouse needs three things, a left-button, a right-button and a scroll-wheel. And this Black Friday weekend, you can get twice that many buttons three, plus some fetching RGB lighting, for less than twenty quid.
]]>The SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL is an outstanding gaming and typing keyboard - and now it's $70 off MSRP at Amazon in the US. Over at Eurogamer, this is our runner-up 'best gaming keyboard' pick - and there are strong arguments that it should be our number one option if you prefer a more compact design!
]]>The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro is down to £169 with this deal at Amazon UK - a great price for one of the best wired gaming headsets for PC and PS4/PS5, which debuted at £249 and normally costs around £200. I've been using one of these headsets with my PS5-based racing setup for months, and I've found it comfortable, good-sounding and very convenient to use thanks to the included second-gen GameDAC.
]]>SteelSeries' Arctis Nova lineup are some of the most comfortable and best-designed gaming headsets I've ever used. (In fact, I just spent the last few days finding the perfect aftermarket cushions for my Arctis Nova Pro Wireless just to give it a unique look.)
Therefore, I thought I'd let you know about a great price for the entry-level Arctis Nova 3, a wired version of the headset that offers the same comfortable design at a lower weight and with support for a wide range of USB devices from PC and Steam Deck (via USB-A or USB-C) to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and more.
It's currently on sale for $70 at Amazon US, a tidy 30% discount from its original US MSRP of $100 as part of an early Prime Day deal.
]]>The SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ is a top wireless headset for PC, PS5, PS4 and Switch, and today it's down to £79 at Ebay with a discount code - the lowest price we've ever recorded for this model. To get this price, use the code BOXING-20 at the checkout.
]]>Good news, everyone! SteelSeries' Arctis Nova 7 gaming headset is down to £104 after a 30% discount at Currys when you use code GAMING30 at checkout, marking the first major price drop for this recently-released and critically-acclaimed headset.
]]>When there’s a Prime Day, Black Friday, or any other big dealspalooza involving games hardware, it never takes long to find a SteelSeries headset with a money-off sticker slapped across an earcup. This time, on the second and final day of Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale, it’s also one of SteelSeries’ best headsets so far: the Arctis 7 wireless model.
]]>Good news, everyone! Our pick for the best lightweight wireless mouse, the Aerox 5 Wireless, is discounted by 35% on Amazon UK. That's not all either, as the wired version of the same mouse and a host of other SteelSeries mice and headsets are also discounted.
]]>Around this time last year, I put out a call for headset recommendations, looking for something cheapish and not terrible. An Internet Friend offered me an old set and I gratefully accepted, not being in the position to turn down free stuff. A few days later, I opened the package that arrived to find, not the slightly dodgy cast-off I’d expected, but a shiny SteelSeries Arctis 5. I’m not someone who gets good quality peripherals very often and the sheer generosity made me shed more than a few tears. Using it is like having an angel gently hug my head while they whisper game noises in my ears.
Which is all just a long-winded way of saying that the SteelSeries Arctis headsets are very good and you should totally check out the SteelSeris Arctis 7 deals we have featured below the jump.
]]>The SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ is a brand new gaming headset, offering a series of small upgrades over the already-brilliant Arctis 7P. It's rare to see new items discounted right away, but today you can get this new model up for 12% off with code MOUNTAIN12.
]]>There are lots of spill-resistant keyboards, including some in our best gaming keyboard rankings, but you hardly ever see mice with similar protection. Despite the fact that they’re always right next to the keyboard, and thus just at risk from low-flying beverages. There are at least two, though: The SteelSeries Aerox 3 and Aerox 3 Wireless. According to SteelSeries, these were the first gaming mice on the market to receive IP54 certification, effectively guaranteeing protection against dust ingress and water splashes.
]]>The SteelSeries Rival 3, a well-reviewed budget gaming mouse, is even more budget than usual with a £9 price drop on Amazon over the past two months. The Rival 3 now costs just £21, a great price for a mouse with a modern optical sensor, 60 million click switches and three-zone RGB lighting.
]]>The SteelSeries Arctis Pro + GameDAC remains one of the very best wired gaming headsets on the market, and today you can pick up this premium model at a big discount. Amazon are selling the Arctis Pro + GameDAC for just £150 today, down from a list price of £250. That's the best price we've seen in more than a year.
]]>SteelSeries is currently running one of their seasonal Member Madness Sales, which offer up to 40% off their rather excellent peripherals in exchange for signing up for an account on their site. We've done just that to bring you word of the best sale items available inside...
Before we get into the highlights, please note that this sale is available to the US, UK, EU and many other regions that can access the SteelSeries global store - but for the sake of convenience we'll just share the UK prices. You should see similar discounts in the currency of your choosing!
]]>If you're in need of a new gaming headset, they don't come much better than the Steelseries Arctis Pro + GameDAC - especially when you can nab one for £40 cheaper than usual as part of Amazon Prime Day. Normally £190, this excellent wired gaming headset is now down to £150.
]]>CD Projekt Red look like they're going all out on Cyberpunk 2077-themed hardware this year, as Steelseries have just announced they're collaborating with the studio on a brand new collection of Cyberpunk 2077 Arctis headsets. Alas, the headsets in question are only variants of their Arctis 1 Wireless headset rather than my current best gaming headset champion, the Arctis 7, but if you were one of the lucky few to win one of the special Cyberpunk 2077-themed RTX 2080 graphics cards Nvidia gave away earlier in the year, then this could be just the thing to complete your Cyberpunk 2077 component collection.
]]>Steelseries are kicking off 2020 by launching a bunch of new PC peripherals today, including two new Apex keyboards and a new Rival 3 gaming mouse. The Rival 3 and Apex 3 keyboards are both budget-oriented affairs, which will be good news for anyone after a new mouse and keyboard that don't break the bank, but the Apex 5 kicks things up a notch with its own OLED screen and aluminium chassis, bringing features previously reserved for Steelseries' premium keyboards down to a (marginally) more affordable price bracket.
]]>Do you remember the original Steelseries Sensei? Apologies if those words make you feel a thousand years old, but if you were a fan of Steelseries' popular gaming mouse from the blessed year of 2009, then I have some good news for you. It's back! This time in the form of the Sensei Ten. Borrowing the same classic ambidextrous shape as its ten-year-old predecessor, the Sensei Ten has been fully upgraded with a new optical sensor and other modern conveniences like RGB lighting, improved switches and onboard profiles. Here's everything you've ever wanted to know about it.
]]>Until Logitech's G Pro X gaming headset came along last month, Steelseries' Arctis 7 had been sitting unchallenged at the top of my best gaming headset list for absolutely yonks. I still have a big soft spot for the Arctis 7 - it's still the best wireless headset you can buy right now, after all, as well as one of the most comfortable headsets ever made - but when every headset in the Arctis family is meant to come with the same 50mm audio drivers and soft ear cushion material, are you actually better off saving your hard-earned money and getting one of their lower-end Arctis headsets instead? To help answer that question, I've got the Arctis 1, the newest and cheapest member of the Arctis headset gang that will set you back just £50 / $50. Here's wot I think.
]]>The Xbox 360 pad may be the reigning champion for the most popular controller on Steam, but Steelseries have just announced a new challenger to that title in the form of their dual wireless Stratus Duo. Priced at £60 / $60, the Stratus Duo comes with support for Bluetooth 4.1 and the usual 2.4GHz wireless so you can use it with your PC and Android phone alike, as well as mobile-based VR headsets including the Samsung Gear VR and Oculus Go.
]]>As you may have noticed over the last year or so, I've tended to quite like Steelseries' PC peripherals. Two of their mice currently occupy top spots in my best gaming keyboard list, and their Arctis 7 headset is my favourite bestest best all time. Their top-end Apex M750 keyboard, however, won't be making any kind of best gaming keyboard list whatsoever. I've tried and tried to like this keyboard, but I simply can't get on with it. And a lot of that has to do with its weird little feet.
]]>These days, it seems like any half-decent gaming mouse requires at least fifty of your fine British pounds or sixty of your finest American dollars. That's still a lot more than I'm willing to fork out in most cases, but sometimes, I admit, it can be worth the extra expense - such as the Asus ROG Gladius II (£68 / $80) and its handy, dedicated DPI button for all those precisely timed headshots on the fly. Usually, though, you're probably paying over the odds. After all, I've yet to find a mouse that actually improves how I play, and generally I just want one that feels nice in my hand and isn't a pain to move.
Enter the Steelseries Rival 310. Sitting just under that high-end threshold at a much more palatable £45 / $50, the Rival 310 brings some much needed competition to the other big cheeses of the entry-level mouse world, namely Steelseries' own Rival 110 and HyperX's Pulsefire FPS. Let's see how it fares.
]]>Esports smee-sports. Whatever it says on the box about the Steelseries Sensei 310 being "engineered" for your favourite arena-based festivities, you should know this ambidextrous mouse is still a great point and clicker in its own right. Whether you're indeed planning to use it for a spot of Plunkbat chicken dinner-ing, or frantically buying ten thousand copies of Yakuza 0 on Steam for everyone because you're the world's bestest best good samaritan, the Sensei 310 makes a fine companion for all of your preferred mouse activities, lefties and righties alike.
]]>How much would you normally spend on a mouse? £10? $20? Maybe even £30 if I'd been particularly stung (or should that be bitten?) by a dodgy mouse in the past, but it would have to be a really good one - possibly even the bestest best out there - for me to consider spending more. Indeed, if you thought shelling out £70 for the Asus ROG Gladius II was a bit steep, then the £80 / $75 Steelseries Rival 600 has an even greater mountain to climb before it starts looking even vaguely palatable.
Fortunately, there is method to its slightly mad pricing. If you've ever felt like your mouse was too heavy (like the monstrous Corsair Scimitar Pro), too light (a la Steelseries' own Rival 110), or just not quite right for your liking, the Steelseries Rival 600 has a remedy - and that's eight little 4g weights you can slot into each side of the mouse, giving you as many as 256 different weight and balance configurations.
]]>Ever since the Steelseries Arctis 7 rocked my eardrums at the end of last year to claim the top spot in my gaming headset rankings, no other gaming headset has even come close to matching its supreme comfort or exceptional sound quality - until now. Enter its brand-new shiny upmarket sibling, the Arctis Pro.
Borrowing the same understated design and ski goggle headband as the rest of the Arctis line, the Pro takes everything up a notch, introducing Hi Res audio support, a dash of RGB lighting around the ear cups and some primo build quality to make it extra feel durable and luxurious.
]]>After using the jumbo Roccat Kone Aimo for a couple of weeks at the end of last year, Steelseries' Rival 110 comes as quite a relief. Not only is it a much more petite kind of mouse that's infinitely better suited to the overall size of my hand, but it's also significantly lighter and easier to move around a mouse mat, weighing just 87.5g as opposed to 130g.
Devoid of Robocop-style grooves and armour plates, this is one mouse that doesn't feel like it's contorting your fingers into some kind of industrial torture device. Instead, it's delightfully low-key and comes with a price to match, costing just £30 in the UK and $40 in the US. What's not to like?
