Good keyboard
- Pros: The feeling is fantastic when you typing.
- Cons: The keys are ABS material, that means it is easy to get perspiration on the keys, also, the keys are easy to be dirty.
A thing of elegant functional beauty...
- Pros: - exceptional quality
- minimalist black/white design
- key responsiveness
- great "feel"
- gold-plated contacts
- no lost key strokes (gaming or speed typing)
- flexible (wristrest overlay and stand-alone minimal keyboard)
I'm a software developer and I bought this after spending a few months researching keyboards for responsiveness and overall exceptional typing experience and performance. I'm more than happy with the keyboard, it lives up to my expectations.
Typing is a pleasure. The key response is great and reminds me of the cherry switch IBM keyboards of the 80's with less travel and a little less noise. My typing rate is very fast so the gold-plated contacts work great (no dropped key strokes like I get with stock keyboards).
As others had said, this is a HEAVY, quality-built keyboard and you can either use the optional wrist stand (fits over the sleek keyboard) or use just the minimal keyboard footprint.
- Cons: - typing is loud (even when not typing angry)
- small backspace key sucks
- bright white LEDs (could be good or bad)
- no backlighting
- pricey (but worth it)
Typing is rather loud. I learned how to type on a mechanical typewriter so I punish the keys but even when you go softly, it's still loud. I wound up moving my 7G to work and picked up a Logitech G15 gaming keyboard (great keyboard with backlight and the LED display) for my shared sleeping quarters as to not disturb my hooch-mates. However, I prefer to work on the 7G than the G15.
I wished SteelSeries made a 7D model (for 'D'evelopers) with a standard, two-key width backspace key and standard one-key height, two-key width enter key (hope they can hear me in Denmark). It would be a great new market (developers/writers in addition to gamers). Then I'd be in heaven...
- Other Thoughts: I know dropping ~$140 for a keyboard is something most sane people don't do, but if you're a gamer, software developer, writer, student, or anyone else who types all day (or all night), this keyboard is definitely a worthy investment.
The best keyboard I ever, or will ever, own (save for the mythical 7D). If you have the cash, this is definitely the best keyboard on the market under $150.
The keybaord does all it says, and I love it
- Pros: Very solidly built. Not a lot of extra stuff on it. (just the media keys, connectors from the ports on the keyboard, and lights for the NUM LOCK and such). Keys will never wear out. Very responsive and fun to type on. Great accessory for my FPS gaming.
- Cons: Paint does rub off of keys, but not completely. It just fades on keys that get very heavy use. LED's for the status keys are overly bright. I have mine under 2 sheets of 1/8" tinted plastic, and they still shine through brightly. Makes me wonder if these LED's were intended for flashlights.
- Other Thoughts: This keyboard does everything it is advertised to do. While the keys are far from completely silent, they are MUCH quieter than the old school PS/1 input mechanical IBM keyboards. While it took some time to get used to the interesting enter key layout, it doesn't bother me at all. I have full confidence that this keyboard will outlast my lifetime most likely, and I love the fact that it doesn't have a ton of extra bells and whistles on it.
All I wanted was a simple keyboard that was impossible to lock up and would never break, and I got what I wanted.

SteelSeries 7G sets new industry standards for gaming keyboards by allowing users to perform the most detailed and advanced key combinations to date. By utilizing the most powerful PS/2 buffer-system ever created for a gaming keyboard, SteelSeries 7G redefines "anti-ghosting" by supporting as many simultaneous key presses as there are keys on the keyboard. The keyboard features both PS/2 and USB connectors.
The use of PS/2 (combined with a gold-plated USB connector) and 18K gold-plated mechanical switches, means that SteelSeries 7G offers more Actions Per Minute than any other keyboard in the world, gaming grade response times and more than six times the durability of a traditional keyboard.
SteelSeries 7G is equipped with audio ports for headphone-in and microphone-out and features two USB ports. The keyboard furthermore features SteelSeries Media Controls essential for gaming, allowing the user quick access to volume, mute and other audio controls. |
