Creative unveiled an official licensed World of Warcraft gaming headset back in last year’s BlizzCon , and we even got a quick look at the product prototypes when they stopped by the annual WoW.com reader meet-up as well as when they invited us to their booth to check it out. Readers also got a chance to win a pair when we ran contests all throughout the last quarter of 2009

UberGizmo (blog) SteelSeries announces StarCraft 2 keyset, March of the Scourge mouse pad CrunchGear (blog) … Blizzard by announcing two new products aimed directly at gamers: a Zboard StarCraft 2 keyset, and a World of Warcraft : March of the Scourge mouse pad. …

As previously mentioned in our lengthy review of the Razer Naga , Razer had plans to update their 17-button MMOG-centric mouse to enable key mapping. Heathcliff Hatcher from Razer responded to concerns about the mouse’s configurability back then that “software driver remapping of keys is a standard function for most of Razer products and we do have suitable solutions that we intend to release in the near future for Naga that will enable this feature out of game.” Razer delivered on that promise with an update to the mouse driver , allowing users to configure all 17 buttons. This addresses the reservations many players expressed when the product launched in August last year

A tipster named James sent us a pointer to store.wowhead.com a little while ago, and as a few people have noticed since, the Wowhead store is now open for business! Here’s what they’re selling: Official Wowhead merchandise (a t-shirt, a hoodie, and a mousepad, so far – does anyone still use mousepads?) WoW paraphernalia, like those steins, and some LapWorks and Steelseries hardware products. Some random gaming hardware that seems to have nothing to do with WoW , like Guitar Hero for PS2, and Xbox 360 accessories.

Long after its initial release, which saw the mouse come under fire for its dubious EULA-breaking built-in functionality , WoWVault at IGN reports that the Steelseries World of Warcraft mouse has received a functional upgrade in that players can now “bind all 15 buttons without leaving the game.” Patch 3.2.2 introduced a new interface for the mouse, which allows for the creation and customization of macros and key bindings from within the game, and assigned to different character profiles.

Live Broadcasting by Ustream Looks like the gang’s getting started at the Tangerine Patio of the Annabella Hotel, and we’ve got the live Ustream feed here so you can hang out virtually! If you’re in the Anaheim area, swing by to say hello to the gang, and we’ve got prizes and giveaways from Upper Deck , Steelseries , WoWTCGLoot.com , Swagdog , and Creative Labs in addition to guests, a (we hope functional) kitchen and a cash bar!

This is it. The day has come. This evening at 7:30pm on the Tangerine Patio at the Anabella Hotel in Anaheim , we’ll be hosting our annual BlizzCon meetup , and trust us: it’s sure to be amazing.

BlizzCon isn’t the only big gaming convention happening this week (though you’d never known it from reading our site — we’re a bit obsessive, no?). Gamescom is going on in Germany, and gaming equipment manufacturer Razer has announced there that they’re releasing a new mouse , specifically designed for MMO games. They put it together in conjunction with MMO players (they say the folks at Curse had a hand in it), and while it isn’t officially tied to Blizzard as far as we can tell (Steelseries already has that market cornered ), there is one interesting connection.

One of the highlights of the past two BlizzCons for me is our annual reader meetup — every Thursday evening before the show starts, we usually invite you all out to mingle and chat with us so we can all party in expectation of all the fun stuff we’ll see at the show. This year will be no exception, though the meetup is definitely bigger and better than ever. As we’ve previously announced , we’ll be at the Anabella Hotel in the Tangerine Patio, and the event will kick off this Thursday, August 20th at 7:30pm Pacific
