SteelSeries and GUNNAR have announced a new breed of gaming eyewear with their new Desmo. The Desmo features a rimless design and promises to be completely headset-friendly. Additionally, the Desmo promises a feature known as “fRActyl Lens Geometry”, which claims to magnify your field of vision while also relaxing your eyes.
“We’ve been collaborating with the GUNNAR Optiks team in marketing and events for more than two years now, including the launch of our first co-branded eyewear model, the SteelSeries Scope,” said Bruce Hawver, SteelSeries CEO. “When we started on this new design, it was important that it was more than just lightweight and comfortable, but that the lens shape, frame style and temples were chosen and perfected in order to impact and improve the way players saw their game. We believe we’ve achieved that goal with the Desmo and are excited for players to try it out.”
The Desmo is available now for $99.99 at SteelSeries official website.
