Icemat is a manufacturer, distributor and online retailer of a line of products targeted primarily at computer gamers. The company was founded in 2001[1] as a producer of mousing surfaces made of frosted glass. They have since expanded their product line to include headphones, sound cards and apparel. Icemat was seen often to produce partnerships with professional gaming teams[2] and to sponsor events and individual players.
Icemat is now known as SteelSeries, and Icemat's website now redirects there. In 2007, SteelSeries decided to merge both brands.[1] The SteelSeries Experience I-2 is the newest generation of the original glass Icemats.
In popular culture
The Icemat Siberia headphones are featured in the Basshunter music video "Vi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA".[3]
