SteelSeries Acquires Ideazon

SteelSeries has acquired Ideazon, Inc., the company best known for its Zboard series of keyboards, as well as gamepads, Zboard overlays for specific games and gamer-focused audio products. The company, which makes headsets, keyboards, mice, software and gaming surfaces, feels that Ideazon’s products are a nice fit with its products.

SteelSeries supports more than 200 professional gaming teams globally and has involved many more pro and competitive gamers during its product development process. Ideazon has also inspired a community of gamers in terms of both sponsorships and event support.

“This acquisition will further establish SteelSeries as a leading global gaming peripherals manufacturer,” said Jacob Wolff-Petersen, Founder of SteelSeries. “No other organization works as closely with gamers and industry partners, or has a more comprehensive line of products to support every type of gamer. The synergies between Ideazon and SteelSeries are evident in the design, relationships and industry influence that both companies bring to the table to create this new gaming powerhouse.”

The new combined organization will be headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark with offices in North America and Asia.  More PC news here.
