We were quite shocked when we opened up the huge shipping box that SteelSeries sent us with the 6G and found a very small box inside containing the keyboard. This box is decorated in SteelSeries usual grey, white and orange livery which is subtle but effective. The front of the box is filled with a large image of the keyboard inside.
Turning the box over reveals a breakdown of the main features features of the 6G V2 in a variety of different languages. Even though the box is small, it is quite substantial and should provide a good level of protection to the keyboard inside in transit.
The included bundle is very small. In fact the only items we find in the box are a quick start guide, information leaflet, a PS2 to USB adapter and a SteelSeries sticker.
THats a mega price, didnt know they had a new model out. braided cable doesnt seem that big a deal to me.
Wow thats a really good price, especially for SS
great products. cherry keyboards are sold on amazon incidentally for those interested and they are generally much cheaper, if not as attractive looking
I bought a bunch of these for our clan, great deal, and braided cables really are not that big a deal.
“The magic of the 6G V2 is thanks to the Cherry MX Black switches that SteelSeries have used. These feel very different to the Cherry MX Blue switches that Razer use in their mechanical keyboards as they don’t have the same audible click.”
This is the make it or break it deal, more so than whether it’s backlit or not. Just buy a mini lamp if you have to play in the dark. Imagine spending a fortune on the quietest cpu fans and custom cooled video cards only to miss a vaguely mentioned point in the review and buy something like the Black Widow Ultimate, which in my and many others’ opinion, is a screamer.
This is literally my favourite keyboard ever, the simple black and white design of it makes it look like an apple product in negative tone. I also really like how smooth the feeling of black keys is (and they’re a lot quieter than ones like blue keys), so the only thing I could say to make the keyboard better is if it was a bit cheaper (although I still paid full price for it)
