For instance, player can set the mouse to vibrate whenever a game cooldown is over, or provide a heartbeat-like sensation when health is low.

Meanwhile the aforementioned OLED display allows for both various gaming aids (such as showing various game stats) or simple customisation with an image or animated logo. SteelSeries Engine 3 software takes care of OLED and vibration customisation together with the obligatory built-in RGB lighting.
