Aion, the most anticipated MMO of 2009, is a visually stunning massively multiplayer online RPG (MMORPG) where players fight in an epic celestial war between twin races of winged beings. Aion has received numerous international industry awards and will be available in stores this September in North America, Europe and Australia.

The SteelSeries Zboard Limited Edition Aion Keyset will offer the full breadth of in-game commands on color-coded keys across the board. The keyset also provides players with:

- Full customization of each key through the SteelSeries Z Engine
- Quick-access emote keys for greeting, intimidating, or taunting your opponents
