If I could, I would honestly hug everyone involved with developing SSE. There were a few hiccups due to my USB hub-but a quick reconnect always fixed it. Every single abuse I threw at it, it took completely in stride, and behaved exactly as it should. I tried to make it hiccup by switching frequently and running multiple games at once. It works flawlessly with every single application and game I have tested it with. To call this a killer feature does not nearly do it enough justice.Įvery part of SSE is virtually flawless. If you open a game with a profile-say EQ2 for example-and then switch to, let’s say Firefox-SSE will select back to your default profile when you alt-tab out of EQ2, and back into it when you alt-tab back in. This is also where SteelSeries Engine really shines, and rises miles above everyone else: it’s alt-tab aware. The one caveat is that you no longer have the ability to change profiles from the taskbar icon, which really is a minor gripe, since generally, you’ll be automatically selecting your profile. You can now configure profiles effectively infinitely, tied to any application you want, with any number of macros you want, performing nearly any action you want. Profiles? Vastly improved, with one caveat. What was the other nitpick I had? Oh, yes, sometimes hard to read.
STEELSERIES WOW MOUSE FIRMWARE SOFTWARE
The original Legendary’s software had “In-Game Mode” as an “all or nothing”-either it was all profiles, or no profiles. So let’s dive in to the new number-one selling point of nearly every SteelSeries mouse-the new SteelSeries Engine. So I have to prefix this review with: I don’t play World of Warcraft anymore, but I still play other MMOs, and I still game, and as we found with the Legendary, it was fantastic across the board. Well, they’re back with the much anticipated World of Warcraft Wireless edition.
Not because it was a good MMO mouse, but because it was a phenomenal all-around mouse. As you may recall, not too long ago, we reviewed SteelSeries World of Warcraft Legendary Edition, and gave it our coveted Golden Fedora award.
