Peely now has a charging case you can peel. That small, wonderfully literal detail sets the tone for the SteelSeries Fortnite collection, which brings the game’s characters to gaming earbuds, headsets, mice, mousepads, keyboards and controllers. In Australia, the announced range starts at A$39 for Supply Llama thumb grips and reaches A$399 for Peely-themed Arctis GameBuds.
The collaboration pairs SteelSeries and KontrolFreek with Epic Games, spanning both PC setups and console accessories. Fishstick, Guff, the Battle Bus and the Storm all get a turn, while selected products also include codes for Fortnite outfits, pickaxes, gliders or emotes.
For Australian players, the useful distinction is what each accessory actually fits. There are separate Sprite headset versions for different platforms, controller thumbsticks need the right attachment type, and the colourful PBT sets replace keycaps rather than supplying a complete keyboard. Here is how the locally announced collection fits together.

Peely GameBuds bring Fortnite to portable gaming audio
The Arctis GameBuds Fortnite Peely Edition is the most elaborate character treatment in the Australian lineup. Banana-yellow earbuds sit inside a case inspired by the Peely Bone outfit, with a ribbed exterior, pink interior and removable silicone cover. Rather than simply printing a character on an existing case, the design makes the packaging part of the joke.
The official Peely GameBuds listing specifies low-latency 2.4GHz wireless for PlayStation, PC and Switch, plus Bluetooth 5.3 for mobile devices. Quick-Switch changes between those connections. That gives the earbuds a role beyond the gaming desk, without treating Bluetooth and a console’s wireless audio connection as interchangeable.
SteelSeries also lists active noise cancellation, transparency mode and up to 40 hours of combined battery life with the Qi wireless charging case. Those are manufacturer specifications, with actual endurance depending on use. The Australian RRP is A$399, and the announced bundle includes an Oro Outfit code.
For Xbox players, the Peely branding alone should not be taken as confirmation of Xbox wireless compatibility. The Fortnite product page identifies the PlayStation-oriented model, so the precise supported-platform list matters when ordering.
Sprite headset: choose the PC/PlayStation or Xbox version
The Water Sprite-themed Arctis Nova headset is the over-ear audio option, announced locally at A$269. Its blue-and-purple design carries the character theme across the headset, while the included digital item is the Cold Hearted Pickaxe.
The Arctis Nova 3 Wireless for PC and PlayStation is listed separately from the Arctis Nova 3X Wireless for Xbox. Both carry the Fortnite Water Sprite treatment. The 3X page specifically includes Xbox alongside PlayStation, PC and Switch for 2.4GHz wireless, whereas the PC/PlayStation version should not be assumed to offer that Xbox connection.
Quick-Switch handles movement between gaming wireless and Bluetooth mobile audio. SteelSeries advertises more than 200 game-specific audio presets through its iOS and Android companion app, including Fortnite, plus a 40-hour battery figure and a claimed nine-hour boost from 15 minutes of charging. For someone moving between a computer and console, choosing the correct headset version comes before choosing the matching desk accessories.
Aerox 3 Storm mouse and QcK mousepads for the desk
The Aerox 3 Wireless Gen 2 Fortnite Storm Edition puts the game’s weather system across a multicoloured honeycomb shell, with lightning detail on the scroll wheel. At A$259, it is the collection’s dedicated gaming mouse, and includes a Frozen Beak Pickaxe code.
SteelSeries specifies a 68g weight, 4K wireless polling, a TrueMove 26K DPI sensor and IP54 dust and water resistance on the Storm Edition product page. A 4K polling rate describes how frequently the mouse can report movement to the computer. It is a hardware capability rather than a promise of better aim, but it gives the licensed design a clear place within the current Aerox range.
Mousepads provide a different way to carry the theme across a setup. The A$99 QcK XXL Battle Bus Edition uses a blueprint-style Battle Bus design across a larger desk surface, while the A$69 QcK L editions focus on Fishstick or Guff. All use SteelSeries’ micro-woven cloth surface; the official listings also describe a non-slip rubber base.
The decision here is largely about desk space and artwork. A larger mat makes the design part of the whole keyboard-and-mouse area, while an L-size pad keeps the character treatment within the mouse space. Measuring the available desk area against the exact listing is more useful than choosing by the size name alone.
Fortnite keycaps: Fishstick, Guff and Supply Llama
The A$159 PBT keycap sets are available in Fishstick, Guff and Supply Llama designs. They offer a way to change the look of an existing compatible mechanical keyboard, rather than buying another board just for a character theme. Each announced set includes a Statuesque emote code.
SteelSeries describes these as 104-key US-layout sets with MX-compatible stems. Its collection listing covers full-size and tenkeyless keyboards, plus most keys on 60% boards. That qualification is important: matching the switch stem does not automatically guarantee every key size and layout will line up.
Check the keyboard’s layout and larger keys before ordering, particularly if it has a compact or unusual arrangement. These are keycaps only, so the switches, keyboard electronics and wireless features remain those of the board underneath.
KontrolFreek Fortnite accessories for PS5, Xbox and Switch
KontrolFreek’s side of the collection focuses on the controller already in your hands. The A$79 Durrr Burger Aim Boost Kit combines Performance Thumbsticks with Precision Rings in a collector’s burger-box case. It uses a mid-rise left stick and high-rise right stick, while the rings add resistance around the thumbstick.
The Durrr Burger kit has separate PS5/PS4 and Xbox Series X|S/One options. KontrolFreek describes the extra stick height and resistance as ways to help with fine adjustments and over-aiming. Those changes affect controller feel, so the relevant choice is the platform-specific fit and whether that style of setup suits the player.
The A$49 Performance Fishsticks take a simpler approach, pairing Fishstick artwork with a high-rise right stick and mid-rise left stick. They also come in PlayStation and Xbox versions. The mixed-height arrangement puts different movement characteristics under each thumb, rather than making both sticks taller by the same amount.
At A$39, the Supply Llama No-Slip Thumb Grips are the lowest-priced accessory in the local announcement. Their purple-and-teal design uses KontrolFreek’s GripTek material. Listed compatibility includes PlayStation and Xbox controllers, original Switch Pro and Switch 2 Pro controllers, and Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers. Original Switch Joy-Con controllers should not be assumed to share that compatibility.
Which Fortnite in-game items are included?
The bonus item depends on the exact product. The Australian announcement identifies the Oro Outfit with Peely GameBuds, Cold Hearted Pickaxe with the Sprite headset, Frozen Beak Pickaxe with the Storm mouse, Rim Shot emote with the Battle Bus QcK XXL, a Fossil glider with the Fishstick and Guff QcK L pads, and Statuesque emote with the PBT keycap sets.
KontrolFreek’s official Durrr Burger listing additionally names a Gun Drop Glider, while the Supply Llama thumb-grip page names an AngelFish Wrap. Check the Australian product listing and included code information for the exact edition before purchasing for a particular cosmetic. A bonus named for one accessory should not be assumed to come with the rest of the collection.
There is also a SteelSeries Fortnite island, listed in the announcement under island code 9448-1956-0547, where players can explore items from the collection in-game. It adds a digital connection to the physical accessories without requiring the entire desk setup to match.
Where the collection fits in a Fortnite setup
For PC players, the Storm mouse, QcK pads and character keycaps let the theme extend across the parts of the desk used every session. Console players have a more direct route through the platform-matched Sprite headset or KontrolFreek controller accessories. Peely GameBuds offer the portable audio option for supported gaming platforms and Bluetooth mobile use.
That breadth is what makes the collaboration interesting: someone can choose a single favourite character or coordinate several pieces around the same game. For readers interested in the people behind gaming as well as the hardware, our guide to esports jobs in Australia looks at another side of the industry.
The most useful starting point is the device already being used: which console needs audio, which controller needs the correct thumbstick fit, or which keyboard can accept the keycaps. Once that is settled, choosing between a Storm-covered mouse and a case that peels like a banana is the enjoyable part.
