SteelSeries is happy to announce the beta release of GameSense™!
Your games and gear now become one. With GameSense™, your devices’ illumination changes in real time, based off of in-game events. Please see the Introduction to GameSense™ post. Ammo, health, kills,and cooldown timers are just a few things that you can integrate into your gear.
Supported games
- CS:GO
- We’ve worked with the team over at Valve in order to bring you the coolest experience available. Incorporate ammo, health, armor, kills per round, kills per match, flashbang blindness, and more into all of your gear.
