SteelSeries 6Gv2 Review



Posted by Shane Dickson (Oregon Slacker), 2 days ago

The Steelseries 6Gv2 was made was not made to be flashy, but rather with performance and durability in mind.  It’s a mechanical keyboard that can withstand 50 million key presses, when compared to traditional membrane keyboards that wear out after 1 - 5 million presses, not to mention it was also designed with “nerd rage” in mind (metal plating and metal elements in plastic), both of these features speaks volumes about its durability.  For performance Steelseries 6Gv2 Boxenhancements, in order to increase actions per minute the Steelseries 6Gv2 has 50% less travel distance required for key presses then traditional keyboards. Also of further note the Steelseries 6Gv2 is unmatched as far as anti-ghosting capabilities, with no limit to the amount of simultaneous key presses when used with the PS2 adapter

Steelseries 6Gv2 Features:

  • GOLDEN QUALITY -  18K gold-plated mechanical switches and USB connectors.
  • BUILT ON PROVEN SUCCESS - Lower-priced alternative to the extremely well-renowned SteelSeries 7G.
  • EXTREME ANTI-GHOSTING - Allows as many simultaneous key presses as there are keys on the keyboard.
  • RAPID RESPONSE TIME - No-click mechanical switches ensure low latency and fast response.
  • UNRIVALED LIFECYCLE - Guaranteed keyboard lifecycle of 50 million keystrokes.
  • MEDIA CONTROLS - Quick access to volume, mute and other audio controls.
  • INCREASED APM - All facets of the 6Gv2 are included to increase the users’ actions per minute.
  • LIKE A TANK - 6Gv2 can withstand punishment.

 

 Our Rating for SteelSeries 6Gv2 Review
8.0
Style (look/feel)
Looks great, bit heavy, no lights for night time gaming.
9.0
Functionality (what it does/doesn't do)
great durability and functionality for gaming including anti-ghosting and media keys,(plus no windows start button.) Would have been a 10 if it had macro support.
8.0
Value (worth the cost vs. competition)
one of the best mechanical keyboards to hit the market, lower priced then others in its class, but as mentioned lacking a few of their features.
0.0
Customer Support
9.0
Usability (comfort, usefulness)
Very useful and comfortable key pressing, layout is just like a standard keyboard if that’s what you’re coming from.
8.5
Overall
Excellent keyboard, hoping to see a version with macro support and lighting, then I’d never want for another keyboard again.

So you read all three pages of this review and the culmination of that was your astoundingly astute and constructive criticism "this review is dumb."

So what, pray tell, would you like to see in a hardware review? Perhaps if you’re able to answer that with some precision we might be able to implement some changes to make the reviews more informative.
