What is a gaming keyboard? Up until the release of the SteelSeries 6Gv2 it was clear that in order to be considered a “gaming” keyboard it had to glow in the dark. Don’t take that the wrong way, we do like things that have lights and can be a bit flashy, but we don’t believe that’s what should define or set apart a keyboard for gaming. As we began to design the 6Gv2, we wanted to offer a keyboard that would do more than emulate the bridge console on the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 and instead, we focused on raw performance and durability.
We took a long look at the most extreme use scenarios for keyboards and designed a keyboard that would meet and (in most cases) exceed every one of them. That’s why we refer to the 6Gv2 as the “heavyweight of gaming keyboards”.
Mechanical SwitchesSteelSeries 6Gv2 is built with mechanical no-click switches. The user experience with mechanical switches is very different compared to using the “soft feel” keys found on conventional keyboards or even laptops.
50 Million Key PressesThe 6Gv2 offers a lifecycle of 50 million key presses per key, which is more than 10 times of the amount of conventional keyboards.
Extreme Anti-GhostingThe 6Gv2 allows as many simultaneous key presses as there are keys on the keyboard for uncompromising gaming experience.
Increased APMThanks to the travel distance which is roughly 50% shorter than a conventional keyboard, you will type faster with a consistent tactile feeling, resulting in a higher Action Per Minutes than ever before.
Golden Quality18K gold-plated mechanical switches and USB connectors deliver unprecedented durability and stability for an unrivaled life span and better signal transfer.
