i have to rant on this im afraid;

rant1: "hello my name is donkey and i have full 100% 20/20 vision and a recent eye test from vision express said my eye sight is brilliant, why are steelseries telling me i can only play better if i start wearing glasses?"

rant2: i will get so used to wearing these new amazing glasses that it will start affecting my eyesight as my eyes will start to rely on them"

rant3: did sk, col, mousesports etc etc use sunglasses when they destroyed the scene back in the day of optical and trackball mouses?

rant4: people who wear glasses cannot use these therefore it is limited to only people that shouldnt need to wear glasses unless they are in the sun, oh i forgot the sun is hot and blinding on de_dust2...

rant5: the professional companies that review this product cannot even spell right and repeat the same thing because they realise it is just a damn pair of specs you buy from the £1 shop.

i could rant forever on this... lol

acrually onside the glasses can be worn by people without perfect vision. as some places (mainly in the states) provide a prescription service with these frames/lens coatings. its also possible to get them in the uk under mail order prescription at a very hefty price.
Thick of it is. they sell well enough to demand the $80 they go for and can provide long term strain reduction (if worn by the right people (normall glasses wearers who spend more than 8 hours in front of a screen))

however. for an enthusiast gamer with no eye problems. i cannonly rofl at the thought

apologies for the spelling. my phones keyboard isnt fantastic.

rant1 - that’s what you do in sales, you make your products out to be the best to gain sales.

rant2 - if you believe this you need help, my mum wears sunglasses, she doesn’t have to rely on them.

rant3 - it’s a new technology, so no.

rant4 - I don’t think you understand what they are for, either way if they were to act as sunglasses it wouldnt matter about the heat, it’s the shine, they're used so you gain less stress on your eyes so you can stay facused after long periods.

edit: after reading what they do, if they actually help like they say, they aren't a bad idea.
