SteelSeries will release a line of Fortnite collaboration gaming peripherals on October 16, the GN Group brand said. The lineup covers earbuds, a headset, a mouse, three mousepads, two US-layout keycap sets, and three KontrolFreek thumbstick and grip products. Several items carry in-game bonuses. Prices run from 2,530 yen for the Supply Llama thumb grips to 33,310 yen for the Peely Edition earbuds.
The Fortnite designs draw on specific in-game cosmetics rather than the game's logo. The Arctis GameBuds take the Peely Bone Outfit, the Arctis Nova 3 Wireless headset takes the Water Sprite, and the Aerox 3 Wireless Gen 2 mouse takes the Storm. Mousepads and keycaps split between Fishstick and Guff, with a Battle Bus Qck XXL, a Durrr Burger KontrolFreek set, and thumb grips built around the Supply Llama.
KontrolFreek products list PlayStation and Xbox versions, and the PBT keycaps are US layout. Several items ship with in-game items and emotes.
