In fall of 2023, Fashionista Magazine let the world in on the secret that white was going to be the "it" color for Spring 2024. Today, SteelSeries.com the original esports brand that fuses gaming and culture, introduces an all-new white version of the award-winning Arctis Nova Pro series headphones. There are defining moments in every industry and every era. A great example being in 2022 when SteelSeries launched the Arctis Nova Pro series, which was met with critical acclaim, garnering countless awards, and establishing an all-new premium/luxury/high-end category for the gaming headphones market, while simultaneously making it not only okay, but cool to wear a gaming headset as "your everyday pair of headphones."

So, whether it's gaming on the go, listening to Spotify while commuting on the train or bus, watching Netflix on the couch or an airplane, taking a Zoom call and needing to tune out the noise in a shared apartment, workspace, or coffee shop, at the home office with furry kids running around, in the gym or basketball court, playing some Call of Duty MW III or Mario or Animal Crossing at home, or creating and editing "get ready with me" videos for TikTok or Instagram, and so much more... the white Nova Pro Wireless headphones let you do it in style with the "it" color for Spring 2024.

For the first time in our history, we are breaking into the competitive gaming peripheral scene with the new Alienware Pro Wireless Mouse and Alienware Pro Wireless Keyboard. These advanced wireless products debut at CES 2024 alongside new gaming laptops and first of their kind QD-OLED monitors to satisfy competitive players and esports professionals. Our team knew that to make a premier mouse and keyboard tailored for pros, we needed input from pros. Throughout the development process, we collaborated with over 100 esports athletes from across the globe, including Team Liquid, our longtime partner and the most successful team in esports history. Guided by their insights, our expert engineers and designers meticulously crafted our most advanced peripherals ever.

Tuned for performance and comfort, welcome the Alienware Pro Mouse
Pro gamers are in consensus - a tournament-ready mouse needs to be responsive, comfortable and offer long battery life. We pushed the limits in these areas then combined them with thoughtful conveniences to make the Alienware Pro Mouse a great choice for anyone - from esports athletes to tech enthusiasts. We started by packing the Pro Mouse with the highest performance components. You are probably familiar with DPI, but another key performance characteristic is polling rate. Polling rate is the frequency in which data is sent from a mouse to a device.

CHERRY, a world-renowned brand in gaming in general and in the field of mechanical keyboard switches in particular, today announced one of their most extensive product launches to date, including high-performance gaming keyboards, mice, microphones and more, at CES 2024. CHERRY initially introduced its global effort within gaming peripherals with the acquisition of the Swedish gaming gear specialist XTRFY and the launch of CHERRY XTRFY in 2023.

"We've spent 2023 working diligently to build CHERRY XTRFY and create a new generation of gaming gear under a common banner. As we enter 2024, we're extremely proud to introduce more than 10 new gaming products that will be released over the upcoming months. With innovative products that are at the forefront of performance, and expansions into new product segments, CHERRY XTRFY is building a complete range for professional and casual gamers alike," says Joakim Jansson, Head of Product & Portfolio at CHERRY and Managing Director for CHERRY XTRFY.

Razer looks to be preparing a pair of Viper Mini gaming mouse successors according to information shared on Reddit recently—but the peripheral specialist has decided to relabel these upcoming offerings under a new product family, albeit still sticking with a serpent naming scheme. Photos of boxed examples appeared online a few weeks ago, and this weekend two listings have turned up (before any official announcement) on Amazon.ca for a higher-end $179.99 "Cobra Pro Wireless" and a more budget friendly $54.99 "Cobra Wired" sibling. Pre-order information indicates that these units will be out on June 29, although Amazon Canada has quickly removed the product pages from their site. Gaming mouse purists have immediately jumped on this leak with criticism leveled at Razer for bumping up the number of Chroma RGB zones on these new models (when compared to predecessors), but the company is likely targeting a more mainstream crowd this time round.

The Razer Cobra Pro Wireless looks to be a slightly cheaper alternative to the extremely expensive Viper Mini Signature Edition (VMSE), thanks to sharing similar core specifications including the company's flagship Focus Pro 30K Optical Sensor and 90 million click-rated Optical Mouse Switches Gen-3. The Cobra Pro makes do with a plastic shell (no weight specified), which likely saves on material costs when contrasted with the magnesium alloy body featured on the 49 gram limited edition Viper Mini SE. Compatibility with Razer's 8000 Hz HyperPolling Wireless dongle was not outlined in the now removed listing. Razer's 58 gram Cobra Wired seems to be a true follow-up to the original (2020) Viper Mini—with Amazon's leaked spec sheet pointing to a fitting of the same previous generation 8500 DPI optical sensor, although the new entry level model has been updated with Razer's third-gen optical switches.

SteelSeries has released a pair of new headsets that builds on its well known Arctis-series, but brings with it a much more modern and premium looking design. Besides the overhaul of the design, SteelSeries has added support for 360 degree spatial audio and the company has also updated its GameDac, which is built around the ESS Sabre 9218PQ40 Quad-DAC. Other new features include an "AI-powered" noise cancelling microphone and a new headband design that's meant to be more comfortable. The wired Arctis Nova Pro comes in a PC and Xbox version, both sporting multi-system connect with dual USB inputs, although 3.5 mm jack input is also supported. A nice touch is that the ear pads are attached with magnets and should as such be easy to replace.

The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless on the other hand comes in three different versions, with a dedicated Xbox and Playstation version, as well as a PC version. Here, SteelSeries has also added active noise cancelling, which is not a feature you find on many gaming headsets. The ANC is using a 4 microphone hybrid system and has support for transparency mode. SteelSeries has replaced the GameDac with a wireless base station for the three wireless versions, which also charges the batteries, as SteelSeries has gone for user swappable battery packs. A 15 minute charge gives you three hours of usage, and a fully charged battery is good for up to 44 hours. Interestingly there's also an eight second power buffer, which allows you to hot swap the batteries, if you're fast. The wireless side of things consists of a proprietary low latency 2.4 GHz radio, as often is the case for wireless gaming headsets, as well as Bluetooth 5.0 support. There's support for simultaneous use of both wireless standards, which is a nice touch and something we've seen from a couple of SteelSeries competitors. The Arctis Nova Pro has an MSRP of US$249.99, with the wireless version costing US$349.99.

SteelSeries, the worldwide leader in gaming and eSports peripherals, today debuts a new limited-edition collection of products featuring the iconic CS: GO Neo Noir skin. SteelSeries has long been ingrained in the CS: GO community and this marks the fifth year the brand has created special game-related gear in support of CS: GO fans. Previous collections include the Fade Camo, Hyper Beast, Howl, and Neon Rider series.

For 2021-2022, artists Blazer and Donschi crafted original pieces of art in collaboration with the SteelSeries design team for the Neo Noir collection. The unique stylings were inspired by old-school manga comics and anime art, and fused with the wild, multi-hued sophistication of CS: GO's iconic Neo Noir skins. This is noir for the new age.

Logitech has released a firmware update that unlocks a bonkers 25,600 DPI resolution on select mice from its lineup. The company is leveraging its HERO in-house developed sensor to demonstrate its capabilities, achieving a "sub-micron level sensitivity" as a testament to its hardware prowess. Granted, Logitech knows users will be hard-pressed to actually gain anything from this DPI resolution compared to, say, the 16,000 DPI that is more common amongst high-end mouse solutions. More than anything, this serves as a sort of "achievement unlocked" for the company.

The 25,600 DPI do mean that the mouse doesn't need any external corrections on its way to 98% tracking accuracy though - no mouse smoothing or acceleration is required. Users who have chosen to partner with Logitech and acquired a G903 Hero, G502 Lightspeed, Pro Wireless, G703 Hero, G604, G502 Hero, G403 Hero, or a Pro mouse all can have this latest firmware installed, which will increase the selectable DPI settings in Logitech's G Hub. Just use the hub to download and install the new firmware revision and you should be all set to go.
