Packaging and Accessories

SteelSeries operates a web shop in the USA. However, this sample came from a marketing hub, so we begin with a look at the product packaging. A plastic wrap covers the packaging, which is not very practical, and removing it shows off the product box in more detail. The box is quite colorful with the company and product name and a large render of the keyboard all lit up on front, along with some of the salient marketing features listed prominently. We see more of the same on the back and sides, with another render and specifications in multiple languages. Four seals on the sides help keep the contents inside in place.


Tearing the seals apart, we see a two-piece packaging with an inner box that slides out to reveal the contents, as well as a cheesy marketing tagline on the orange cardboard up top. The keyboard itself is inside another plastic wrap, and the included accessories are found underneath as part of a layered unboxing experience. These include a useful, multi-language product information guide (online copy here) that goes over the setup and functions, and it is quite handy in helping a new user figure out how best to use the OLED display, control the backlighting on the keyboard, and customize the switch experience.


The other accessory we see is a large, premium wrist rest which comes inside a plastic wrap. It has a soft-touch surface with the SteelSeries logo in the middle and eight rubber pads on the bottom for scratch resistance as well as added friction against the resting surface. Two magnets touching the keyboard on the sides no doubt help with getting it in place properly.
