Founded in 2000 in Denmark , Icemat is known best for their signature mousepad, the Icemat .
“The original Icemat was launched in 2000, targeted at one of the most demanding consumer groups in the world: gamers. Since then Icemat has expanded the portfolio and today offers a wide range of products. Everything is created by people who demand as much from the visual design as they do from the performance of the final product.
Our staff is distributed throughout the world, working from offices in Europe, North America and Asia . The Icemat headquarters are located in Europe ( Copenhagen , Denmark ), and host the primary office facilities for the company. The headquarters handle all planning, production and partner coordination. For logistical reasons we also have sales offices in Asia ( Taipei , Taiwan ) and USA ( Los Angeles , California ). From Taipei we can each the entire Asian market, as well as New Zealand and Australia . From Los Angeles we can reach North America, Canada and South America .”
After a successful product line of mousepads, Icemat introduced a line of audio products , starting with the Icemat Siberia headset.
Second only to visuals, sound is a major part of the Gaming experience. A good headset can make or break the immersion experience. Lets see if the Siberia lives up to the Icemat name.
As you recall from an earlier episode of “Smackdown: Unit24”, I am, at best, a mediocre FPS player. David, my 13yo son, regularly pwns my posterior. Even so, I regularly return for a rematch. With the addition of the newest member of the Guy clan, our 3 week old daughter, noise abatement has become a serious issue. For some reason Mrs. Unit thinks that the sound of automatic weapons, explosions and a loud soundtrack are not conducive to a newborn in the household. Go Figure… To insure domestic tranquility at Casa Cabal (tinc) and to assure that future fun and games are not limited to CS and Halo we have instituted a headset only rule.
