Today we will be reviewing the SteelSeries 5H v2 USB but first a little bit about the company.

SteelSeries is all about gaming. Their mission is to create performance enhancing gaming gear, created for and by leading professional gamers. They continuously strive to better themselves, and work with leading professional gamers from 3 different continents to create their products. Their staff is distributed throughout the world, working from offices in Europe, North America and Asia. The SteelSeries headquarters are located in Europe (Copenhagen, Denmark), and host the primary office facilities for the company. The headquarters handle all planning, production and partner coordination. For logistical reasons they also have sales offices in Asia (Taipei, Taiwan) and USA (Los Angeles, California). From Taipei they can reach the entire Asian market, as well as New Zealand and Australia. From Los Angeles they can reach North America, Canada and South America. All manufacturing is done by sub-suppliers from Europe and Asia, and then delivered to one of their warehouses for final processing.
