From our front-page news:
Ideazon, creators of some of the most unique gaming keyboards on the market, has just been acquired by SteelSeries, yet another developer of higher-end gaming peripherals. Both companies share similar goals, and develop similar products, so the acquisition seems to make a lot of sense.
SteelSeries themselves have grown rapidly in popularity over the past few years, and their products have been well-received, including on our own pages. They also sponsor gaming teams left and right, and their dedication to deliver high-quality peripherals is apparent. How this acquisition will affect either company is yet to be seen, but Ideazon's line-up doesn't seem to be changing much in the near-future.
It appears that Ideazon will remain stationed in North America, while SteelSeries remains in Copenhagen, Denmark, with other offices also found in Asia.
CHICAGO, July 29, 2008 - The leading manufacturer of innovative professional gaming gear, SteelSeries, today announced its acquisition of certain assets in Ideazon, Inc., the North American-based developer and manufacturer of gaming peripherals and technologies. This acquisition further strengthens SteelSeries' peripheral technology and will help expand the company's broad support within the gaming community.
