SteelSeries has launched a new range of gaming peripherals made in collaboration with eSports team Fnatic. The Fnatic Edition peripherals feature the team's orange and black signature colouring and logo. The range includes the special edition 9H Headset, Rival Optical Mouse and Apex Keyboard. This new range by SteelSeries expands its branded eSports offerings which already included team NAVI peripherals.

Sam Matthews, Owner of Fnatic, said "The new Fnatic Edition products are something we're excited to be using in tournaments ourselves as well as bring to our fans; by purchasing these products they will directly support the team." Ehtisham Rabbani, SteelSeries CEO, added that the "talent, ambition and professionalism," of team Fnatic was a key to their success and that their branded products should reflect that.
