To top off the announcement SteelSeries had made at CeBIT in Hanover, Germany, they also had another surprise for us the 6Gv2 Gaming Keyboard. This keyboard offers gamers quicker reaction times, advanced key combinations, and 10 times the life of a traditional keyboard all while feeling like a king (or should I say queen?) with your 18-karat gold plated mechanical switches. Bling bling, anyone?
“We’ve been watching professional teams such as Fnatic, SK Gaming, Evil Geniuses and others win grand slam tournaments with the 7G as their weapon of choice and have seen it recognized as one of the most impressive performance keyboards on the gaming market…Keeping that rock star mentality, we designed the slimmed down SteelSeries 6Gv2 to pack the same punch without compromising response time, durability or performance.” said Bruce Hawyer, CEO of SteelSeries.
Similar to it’s sibling, the 7G, the 6Gv2 consist of an enhanced buffer-system allowing gamers to press several keys up to as many as there are on the keyboard simultaneously without lag issues. Unless you’ve got big hands then good luck pressing them all! Having this buffer-system allows gamers to be able to crouch, shoot, and check the score all at the same time which is a dream come true for FPS’ers like myself.
You won’t find this on other SteelSeries products, this type of multitasking is exclusive to the SteelSeries G line only. Along with being able to control in-game options, the keyboard will offer external media controls such as mute, volume and other audio controls. If you want to change that song without having to alt tab, then go right ahead!
The 6Gv2 is designed for ease and comfort to provide endless hours of relaxing game play, and being reinforced with iron-infused plastic makes for durability; up to 50 million keystrokes in it’s lifetime to be exact.
Professional gaming hardware doesn’t come cheap, but it does come with comfort, durability, and as always with SteelSeries, a well known reputation.
6Gv2, Steelseries
