One of the coolest features of the Legendary mouse software is that you can sync your character from the WoW Armory to your mouse profiles. Having the game's own commands right there in the software outside of WoW is an excellent feature and makes the software that much more powerful. Each button is easily configured using a simple interface with a ton of preset functions available to players that are directly from WoW itself. Being a licensed product and getting to work with Blizzard designers is a pretty nice boon. You'd miss out on a bunch of macro features and other cool things built in to the software, but the basic stuff is all contained within the game itself. You would never really have to live in the mouse utility outside of the game, if you were so inclined. Since the product is a licensed Blizzard peripheral, there are lots of hooks that the Legendary mouse has caught into the WoW interface. The in-game configuration of the Legendary mouse is easier than you would expect it to be. It was a pleasant surprise, easily adding two extra buttons that were thumb-accessible that didn't feel out of place. There is a second thumb button rocker that adds two more buttons when you rock your thumb right or left. The Legendary mouse has the traditional forward and back thumb buttons that you press by rocking your thumb forward or backward, as you would expect. One feature that I did not anticipate liking so much is the thumb buttons. However, I can promise you that I do not have little dainty 4-year-old hands, nor do I have Rossi-sized bear paws that are capable of felling a wild boar. My review is all about my own personal experience, and yours may vary, because we all have different hands. SteelSeries stickers for you to put wherever you like stickersĪ quick disclaimer before we begin that has to do with hand size, personal preference, and all that jazz: I am reviewing this mouse based on its size relative to my own hands and my own preferences for input hardware. Incoming bullet list of features from SteelSeries:īind all 11 buttons using the WoW interfaceġ6.8 million color options with four levels of intensity and pulsation (you only really need one color, though - red)ĭrag-and-drop software makes macro creation easy, or just drop in over 130 preset commands Here's my week with the SteelSeries WoW MMO Legendary edition gaming mouse. The new mouse fits more comfortably in my hand than the old MMO gaming mouse did as well as provides two new thumb buttons that I didn't anticipate liking as much as I did.Īs usual, I tested out each peripheral for review for no less than a week of actual WoW gameplay and learning, trying out the gear on my main as well as new alts created for the express purpose of learning with a new peripheral from scratch. The newest iteration in the lineup is the Legendary Edition, a brand new design that takes what worked from the previous versions of the MMO gaming mouse and iterates on core concepts, resulting in an overall sturdier build and better product. SteelSeries makes some cool WoW-inspired gaming peripherals, and the World of Warcraft MMO gaming mouse is no exception.
