SteelSeries may have already shown off a number of special-purpose peripherals, but it seems that it is not yet done with the product launches, having now also come forth to unveil the Cataclysm mouse which was specifically designed for playing World of Warcraft.

The newcomer imitates the plating design of Deathwing the Destroyer and has several design and functionality assets that give it its appeal.

Besides the 2.5m braided nylon cable, one of the more aesthetically-pleasing ones is the 16-million color illumination options with 4 pulsating levels.

Another important feature is the existence of 14 programmable buttons which, coupled with the extensive macro support, improves one's performance during any multiplayer game, as well as, of course, enjoyment.

Basically, the mouse should actually be able to be able to keep track of up to 130 preset game commands.

There is also a 5040 dpi sensor and compatibility with both PC and Mac systems, plus a lift distance of 1 to 5 mm.

"Since the release of the original World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse in 2008, we've received feedback from thousands of World of Warcraft players, both Horde and Alliance, on how they've customized their World of Warcraft mice and what they would like us to do next," said Bruce Hawver, SteelSeries CEO.

"For two years, our R&D team worked hard with Blizzard Entertainment to incorporate the great feedback and to enhance the mouse technology and game integration,” he added.

“The new Cataclysm mouse is the result of that collaboration: it provides a wide range of customization options and delivers a more comfortable, intuitive, and ultimately better experience," Hawver went on to saying.

This MMO mouse was co-developed with Blizzard and will have a price of $99.99 (89.99 Euro) once it finally debuts on December 7, at the same time as the game WoW: Cataclysm itself.
