Essential things to know about the SteelSeries Alias Pro and SteelSeries GG
25Prawn here showing you the best features of the SteelSeries Alias Pro and SteelSeries GG and what you can do with these two tools!
The SteelSeries Alias Pro is a fantastic microphone that not only sounds good but also has some interesting capabilities, thanks to GG, which allow you to not only customise the sound of your microphone but also of your friend's mics, your game audio and more. You can have different volume levels for your stream and for yourself and do so much more than many other mics out there. It's pretty epic.
