Razer have always made brilliant gaming equipment, Blizzard have always made brilliant games. It was only a matter of time before they joined forces.

Until recently they had been keeping the exact details of this hardware under wraps, but yesterday they finally broke cover with details and pictures of the upcoming equipment.

On a personal level, I have to admit that I like the angular style they have gone with for these – they fit extremely well with the look of Terran forces that Wings of Liberty focuses on. Another feature that interests me is the APM (Actions Per Minute) Lighting System, which will change the colour of the LED lights based on the activity, or even set events, in the game.

So for example: you could set the mouse to flash green when a unit’s production is completed, which will allow you to know when your reinforcements are ready, even if you’re in the heat of battle at the other side of the map.

Check out the specs and pictures after the jump
