Based on your name I’d imagine you are going for at least the mounts.

Didn’t buy it when it was on the store and I sure as hell won’t get this. I already have a nice Steelseries headset that serves me well. And I don’t use it all that often anyway, since my soundbar rules. :blush:

Don’t need a headset, don’t need a mouse, don’t need a booster pack :dracthyr_shrug:

And even if I did I wouldn’t spend that much. Black Friday is round the corner and there will better bargains to be had!!

Got Minimagz, so Flameo, eh. It will return in other occasions.
But heck, why always thumb buttons ._. …why not ergonomic distrubuted butons like the old Steelseries WarCraft Mice or the Roccat Leadr.

I need a new mouse but it’s just buttons there i got my thumb, not sure how that will work out.

I love mounts, and I love Steelseries, but I can’t justify another mouse/headset/etc just to get a mount.

You’ll get used to it, it’s muscle memory basically.
One likes their buttons all in the thumb area, other (like me) distributed accros the mouse.

Edit: Oh don’t forget to buy some US Trolli sweets to get a naga themed pet (not the one from Trading Post)

I don’t collect anything, so those promotions don’t target me.

The mouse is probably not bad, but if I spent that kind of money on a new mouse, I’d get the Corsair Darkstar. I prefer the button layout of that mouse. The 12-button block on the SteelSeries seems somewhat awkwardly placed (probably depends on hand size and finger length, though).

11

I definitely liked the Rival 500 more than the Aerox 9. I wish they still sold it.

12

I still wish they sold the mounts and the pet seperate, it’s kinda big prices we talking about here.

But blizz know whales will buy these stuff instant so price does not matter really.

13

Same. I bought two spare ones when I learned that they had been discontinued. The closest mouse that has a similar layout as the Rival 500 is the Corsair Darkstar.

14

I’d only get the Aerox if it were heavily discounted. It feels pretty cheap to the touch, it needs to be hooked up to the charger for every 8 hours of use and at least for me the battery died completely within 4 months of use. It’s an OK mouse for like 60-70 €, but for 160 I’d much rather get a Naga.

15

Haha, I did the same. I had one that started to act up. When I went to replace it I found they’d discontinued it, but I managed to get two off Amazon. I’ve given the Aerox 9 a really good try, but I think I’ll switch back when I have time to remap the binds.

I don’t wear headsets, not really my thing.

Here’s the article if anyone wanted to have a look

While listening same time i mean.

I have a very basic microsoft keyboard that does me just fine, I have tried mechanical and gamer keyboards and I hate the sensation.

I have a basic logitech mouse that for some reason glows but it has two side buttons which was my main requirement - I do not want a ton of them.

I don’t need a headset but when I was a teen I’d probably want all of these.

The mousemat is nice but I’d never see the sword under my keyboard so I just stick to swirly pattern ones now.

A standalone mic

Thing is they adding mount and pet for it that costs so much irl, it’s the point of this topic actually :slight_smile:

The only way to get that pet and mount is to pay that absurd amount of money even if u don’t even need that headset and stuff.
