PC gaming peripherals specialist SteelSeries has announced a new range with the backing of famous eSports outfit Evil Geniuses. SteelSeries boasts that the Evil Geniuses have won more lolly than any other eSports team worldwide, racking up "millions in prize money," over recent years. Furthermore, the new range of peripherals "combines more than 15 years of SteelSeries esport experience with the hands-on expertise of the best gamers in the world".

"For years, SteelSeries has collaborated with Evil Geniuses to test and improve our products to ensure they are tournament ready," said Ehtisham Rabbani, SteelSeries CEO. "Their winning culture and pursuit of excellence in eSports aligns with SteelSeries' commitment to supporting eSport professionals with products that help them rise to the challenge."

The new SteelSeries Evil Geniuses line, AKA the EG Signature Line, consists of the following:
