Razer, the developer of the gaming-oriented Boomslang mouse and "gaming surfaces" for computer mice, announced that the company will manufacture so-called tournament-grade gaming peripherals emblazoned with the StarCraft II logo.

This will most likely be little more than an existing Razer mouse with some interesting artwork adorning the sides. But I'm interested in knowing what a "tournament-grade" StarCraft mouse will be based upon. As you may know, StarCraft is an obsession in some Asian countries, specifically Korea, and tournaments are televised. Blizzard's new game (which is due "when it's done," according to the company) is sure to be feverishly awaited.

"It has been a little over a decade since StarCraft first rocked the video game industry and began a legacy that continues to this day," said Robert "Razerguy" Krakoff, president of Razer USA, in a statement. "We're extremely excited to be working with Blizzard Entertainment on the StarCraft II gaming peripherals and gear. The project is in the development phase with a focus on serving up innovative features while offering precision, cutting-edge technology, accuracy, speed and comfort."

In the meantime, Razer said it would offer a StarCraft messenger bag (above) and E-Sport Pro Gamer Case.
