When it’s time to play your favorite game, you don’t want to have to worry about bad peripherals. A cruddy chair that’s a pain to sit on, a mouse with buttons that keep sticking, and a keyboard that fails to register every few keystrokes can make your favorite hobby the worst part of your day.
SteelSeries is one of our favorite brands when it comes to high-quality gaming gear. If you’re looking for new gear to add to your arsenal, we’re here to help. Here are our six favorite pieces from SteelSeries to add to your gaming rig.
Steelseries Arctis Nova 7 WoW Edition
Limited edition!
SteelSeries is no stranger to partnerships, and their recent partnership with World of Warcraft brought us some great options. The WoW edition of the Arctis Nova 7 is a strong headset option for anyone, but easily tops the list for WoW fans.
One of the first things you’re going to need is a headset, no matter what platform you prefer to game on. Still, this is definitely something for PC gamers - especially for those who have taken the plunge into Azeroth. SteelSeries recently did a collaboration with World of Warcraft to bring some WoW-themed peripherals to the front.
These aren’t just a gimmick, though. The 360-degree spatial audio features of the Arctis Nova 7 make this one of the best headsets available. It also comes with the in-game Grinning Reaver mount!
SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless Gaming Mouse
Great for any budget
SteelSeries is a great brand not just for luxury, but for affordable peripherals. This SteelSeries Rival 3 is a stellar mouse at any budget, but especially if you’re trying to keep your wallet from shrinking.
SteelSeries is no stranger to budget options, and nothing shows that better than this incredible mouse. The Rival 3 is most known for its affordability, but you aren’t buying an inferior product to get that price. This mouse lasts for up to a year - or 400 hours worth of battery life, whichever one you hit first. It’s lightweight and easy to set up with a latency so low that it’s easy to mistake it for awired mouse. Our only complaint is that there aren’t enough side buttons.
SteelSeries Apex 5
Build an airplane with it!
SteelSeries has plenty of keyboards available, but our favorite is the Apex 5. This keyboard is made of aircraft-grade aluminum and comes with an OLED smart display to make the most out of your use.
For PC gamers, a keyboard is an inherent must-have. Naturally, you’re able to skip this if you have a laptop, though there’s nothing wrong with an external keyboard. If you’re looking to add a keyboard, then the Apex 5 is our SteelSeries board of choice.
This full-sized keyboard comes with an OLED screen and, perhaps even more impressively, aircraft-grade aluminum construction. It’s got all the RGB features we’ve come to expect, making this a perfect choice for any use.
SteelSeries Nimbus+
Use with your smart devices!
Mobile gaming often gets left out of some conversations when it comes to gaming gear. SteelSeries’s Nimbus+ controller is the perfect wireless controller for Apple phones and tablets.
When people discuss gaming peripherals, we often forget about mobile games. We focus instead on console and PC, but those of us who are playing on our iPhones and tablets need some love too, right? SteelSeries agrees, leading them to come out with this rechargeable controller for mobile gaming.
The Nimbus+ controller is a perfect wireless controller with one catch: it’s only compatible with Apple devices. Stay small, Android users - there are other controllers out there for you.
SteelSeries Arena 9 5.1 Gaming Speakers
Lights, subwoofer, surround sound

FAQ
What Gaming Gear Is The Most Important?
That depends solely on what you need. You should consider your peripherals above all else when shopping for a computer gaming setup. For console gaming setups, consider your chair, headset, and controller. Personally, I hold a good mouse and keyboard to be the most important things to my gaming setup. Think of what’s most important for you!
What Brands Are Competition For SteelSeries?
SteelSeries is far from the only player in the gaming gear industry. Brands like Corsair, Razer, Redragon, and dozens more will appear. Think of what you need and hone your search to the brand that suits that desire. We love SteelSeries for being able to match needs on any budget and for their wide variety of products.
Can I Mix And Match SteelSeries Peripherals With Other Brands?
What’s stopping you? SteelSeries isn’t like brands like Corsair where peripherals are meant to link together for some features. you’re able to plug and chug a SteelSeries peripheral with virtually any brand, so don’t feel like you have to commit to something early.
