Industry Veterans Baron Lee and Morten-Stig Johansen Reignite Iconic Peripherals Brand with Cutting Edge Design and Innovation
London, UK – November 18, 2025 – QPAD, the iconic Swedish gaming and esports brand, today announces its official return, marking a new era of accessible, design-led, innovative peripherals for gamers. With a proud Nordic heritage dating back to 1994, QPAD has long been celebrated for its precision, design, and engineering excellence. Now, with their return, the brand reintroduces itself with a fresh vision: to create gaming and creator gear with a unique purpose, bringing professional performance within everyone’s reach.
Spearheaded by industry veterans Baron Lee, CPO, former HyperX product architect, and Morten-Stig Johansen, CEO, with over 20 years of global manufacturing and distribution experience in the games industry, the new range will be exclusively available at Currys in the UK. The lineup includes keyboards, mice, mics, and mousepads that combine high-performance engineering with gaming lifestyle-driven design, catering to gamers and creators who demand quality, performance and innovation at accessible price points.
Innovation Meets Swedish Design Heritage
The brand is redefining itself for a new generation of players, empowering casual gamers, content creators, and competitive streamers alike to perform with confidence and creativity. Each product in QPAD’s relaunch lineup combines sleek Nordic aesthetics with cutting-edge innovations, engineered by gaming veterans to offer ultimate performance, exceptional quality, and outstanding value.
At the heart of this relaunch is Baron Lee, Chief Product Officer, whose career includes eight years at HyperX, where he developed over 100 award-winning products and secured more than 20 industry accolades. Lee’s focus at QPAD is clear: deliver cutting-edge gear and provide pro-level gaming performance for everyone.
“Having spent years in the gaming peripherals industry, I’ve seen how innovation often reaches players too late,” said Baron Lee, Chief Technology Officer at QPAD. “At QPAD, we’re changing that by bringing cutting-edge technologies and design trends to market ahead of the curve. We deliver technology that excites, meaningful innovation that makes a real difference to how people play and create, and performance that lasts.”
Leading the brand’s global vision is Morten-Stig Johansen, Chief Executive Officer, who brings extensive product, distribution and retail expertise from the gaming and consumer electronics industries.
“Our business model is simple: make QPAD an exclusive brand for specialist retailers in each market,” said Morten Stig, CEO at QPAD. “This approach ensures focus, expertise, and the best possible experience for our customers.
