As well as some Siberias. I will say 2 things - I will never go back to a membrane keyboard and 2 - this keyboard is the best keyboard I have ever used. Make it 3 things - Siberias are awesome, seriously.

I have written two reviews for you -
6gv2 review
+ Show Spoiler +
Get it.


Siberia review
+ Show Spoiler +
Get it.


They really are amazing, I'd suggest to anyone, if anyone has any questions about either of them, feel free to ask!

Because Steelseries hates you.
Just kidding, I have the same problem too, I dunno why. o.o

Hey, congratulations on your first mechanical keyboard. I bought the same keyboard as you two months ago and i love it too.
I like especially that its so robust, heavy and has no gimmicks, just pure keyboard.

Btw, do you know a good method to take off the caps for cleaning? i saw there was a tool for that made by filco but its sold out everywhere.
Does Flash dream of electric Romeo?

No I don't have any idea on how to take the caps off for cleaning - effectively anyways. I haven't cleaned my keyboards in the past but I suppose I should start.

I vacuum my 6gV2 it's probably the easiest way but might not get everything so give it a shot if you can :D

I was thinking about getting a Siberia headset but then opted to go for the better quality headphones and an-add on mic to get slightly better quality headphones which I won't be embarrassed to wear outside occasionally.

Vacuum? What? o.o. Do you get one of those like hand vacuums and run it over the top? Do you take the key caps off or leave them on|

Can anyone who's tried both the 7g and the 6gv2 compare the key feeling between the two? I've tried the 7g, but I hate that the click/register of a key happens before it is fully depressed, sounds weird to me when the sounds seem like they're ahead of my fingers.
Hi there. I'm in a cave, how bout you?

They use the same switches, it will be the same no matter which of the 2 keyboards you use.

Yeah i have the 6gv2 and i freaking love it! others i would recommend are the Razer blackwidow.
Both are solid Keyboards i just decided to go with the steelseries because it looked a little more standard so my little brother wouldn't want to take it

Man I can sympathise with your last line about your little brother, happens to me all the time. I really want to get a mechanical keyboard as I got a razor lycosa a couple of months ago and im really not impressed with it. Im either going to get the keyboard that this thread was made about
(steelseries 6gv2) or get one of the none flashy razer blackwidows.

From what ive heard of it I would say that id rather use a blue switch keyboard rather than a black switch one, but I really wish in a big games shop in the UK they had a section to test what the respective keys feel like. I guess its just gonna be trial and error until I find a keyboard that works for me haha.
