In the name of Valentine’s Day.
SteelSeries has kicked off an impressive Valentine’s Day Sale with a rare promotion: buy one gaming headset, mouse, keyboard, or other gaming accessory and get a second item for 50% off with coupon “VALENTINE50”. The second item will be of equal or lesser value and does not stack with instant discounts. All orders over $49 ship free. The Nova Pro is our favorite gaming headset, and we also recently picked the Apex Pro Gen 3 as the best gaming keyboard.
Featured in this articleNote that in all of my examples, I added two of the same item to cart to activate the discount. However, you don’t need to buy the same item. For instance, you could add the Arctis Nova Pro wireless headset and the Apex Pro keyboard and get 50% off the keyboard (since it’s the lower priced item).
SteelSeries Wireless Gaming HeadsetsOf the headsets rounded up here, the Arctis Nova 7 is the best bang for your buck. In our Arctis Nova 7 review, Matthew Adler wrote that “SteelSeries continues to push the boundaries of what a headset is capable of. With the addition of simultaneous Bluetooth audio, you can enjoy music, podcasts, or just chat with your friends through Discord across multiple platforms without losing your game audio – all with a single pair of headphones. The Arctis Nova 7’s new design is sleek, lightweight, and still remains one of the most comfortable headsets I’ve ever used.”
Gaming earbuds are few and far between, but SteelSeries has knocked it out of the park with their GameBuds, which debuted late last year. In our Arctis GameBuds review, Michael Higham wrote that “The SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds take care of business from nearly every angle when it comes to being a versatile set of earbuds suitable for music and intense gaming sessions. Their physical design lets them fit securely into my ears while staying comfortable for hours on end. Impressive and balanced sound quality serves as the foundation while features like ANC, great battery life, and lag-free 2.4GHz connectivity round out the package.”
SteelSeries Gaming KeyboardsThe Apex Pro is SteelSeries’ flagship keyboard lineup with all the features you’d expect in a premium keyboard at a price point that’s generally lower than the competition (and even more so during this sale). In our Apex Pro review, Michael Higham wrote that “Rarely do I pull a piece of tech out of the box and become immediately enamored with it. As soon as I got my fingertips on the OmniPoint 3.0 Hall Effect switches, I knew I was in for a great typing and gaming experience in both my favorite competitive shooters and intense MMORPGs. Being able to customize their actuation and reset point is a novelty that could make a difference in gaming while offering the flexibility needed to adjust for a work-type setting. The OLED control panel is a nice cherry on top.”
SteelSeries Gaming Mice and SpeakersThe Aerox series of mice are Steelseries’ lightest wireless mice. Starting at only 59 grams, that they weigh less than many wired gaming mice. A big part of that is due to the open air honeycomb-style shell. Of course these mice are still excellent, responsive performers. In our Aerox 3 review, Kennet Seward wrote that “The Aerox 3 Wireless is one of SteelSeries’ best gaming mice. Super lightweight, long lasting battery, a great optical sensor that allows for lightning-fast, yet accurate swipes – there’s just a ton of things to love.”
On the speaker side, the rarely discounted SteelSeries Arena 9 isn’t cheap, but that’s understandable considering the fact that they are one of the best PC speakers for gaming. Here you get six speaker cabinets including a dual-driver center speaker, two front speakers, two rear speakers, and a downward-firing subwoofer. Audio is where this speaker set really shines. Hear every footstep, an enemy’s heartbeat, and know exactly what’s going on around you in the moment. Just be sure you place your speakers in the right place to squeeze every ounce of juice from these bad boys.
