SteelSeries: The iconic esports powerhouse has your signature Pride Month collection rocking
You know I am huge on technology around these parts so keeping tabs on powerhouses like SteelSeries and what they’re up to during Pride Month? Oh man. Impressive.
SteelSeries has your Pride Month collection up for grabs
No matter your go-to - from the headsets to the mouse pads - it’s all about embracing the limited edition SteelSeries rollout embracing all Cultures and people globally.
SteelSeries, the original esports brand that fuses gaming and culture, today announced a partnership with It Gets Better, a nonprofit organization with a mission to uplift, empower, and connect lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer youth around the globe, to send messages of love and support to LGBTQ youth around the globe, to and amplify voices from the LGBTQ gaming community.
This Pride season, SteelSeries is celebrating and waving the Pride colors along with the gaming community through donations, giveaways, and a month of advocacy across its social media, community, and product channels to raise awareness for the need for inclusivity, accessibility, and equality in gaming.
To help fans to show their support and allyship, SteelSeries has created a limited-edition For Pride Collection that includes a limited run of Arctis Nova Booster Packs that include limited-edition Pride Flag-themed speaker plates and a matching headband for its award-winning line of Arctis Nova series headsets, and a custom-designed Pride QcK mousepad that was inspired by the iconic Pride rainbow flag. 100% of the profits from the sales will be donated to the It Gets Better organization to help with their overall mission.
In September 2010, in response to a rash of suicides that claimed the lives of several LGBTQ+ youth, the first It Gets Better video was released on YouTube, urging young LGBTQ+ people to stay true to themselves despite bullying and other challenges of adolescence.
The message was simple – no matter how difficult things may be, it can get better. Those words, and the sentiment behind them, went viral, inspiring more than 70,000 people to share their personal stories of resilience and triumph, catalyzing the world’s largest storytelling effort to uplift and empower LGBTQ+ youth.
Fourteen years later, with an Emmy Award and a New York Times bestselling book in tow, It Gets Better affirms the lives of hundreds of thousands of young people every year. Through powerful storytelling and media campaigns, impactful educational programming, and global community-building initiatives, It Gets Better reaches and connects with LGBTQ+ youth before they are in crisis – helping them to navigate their sexual orientation and/or gender identity journey with life-affirming resources paving the way to a future with limitless possibilities.
To take the pledge and join the It Gets Better global community and join the 766,000 supporters who have taken the It Gets Better pledge:https://itgetsbetter.org/take-the-pledge/.
The limited-edition Pride Flag-themed Arctis Nova Booster Pack (speaker plates and headband for the Arctis Nova Elite, Arctis Nova Pro Omni, Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, and Arctis Nova 7 series headsets) is available for $39.99, and the custom-designed Pride Flag-inspired QcK mousepads are available for $24.99 at https://steelseries.com/pride-collection.
