1)Headphone in 2)Microphone out 3)2 USB Ports 4)Wrist Rest The 6Gv2 is $50 less than the 7G. Would it be worth to save up $50 extra then buy the 7G, i just think it will probably be more convinient to have the mouse plugged into the keyboard than your desktop. What are your guys thoughts?

I don't use any of the extras and don't use the wrist rest (although it's nice I don't have the desk space). While the 6Gv2 has a bigger backspace which I'd actually love. I'd swap my 7G for a 6Gv2 in a heart beat. That's my opinion so save yourself some cash. | ||

They are black cherry keys, and when you get into mechanical keys, I believe it's all about preference. Kind of sucks cause you either have to know someone with each kind of cherry mx switch; blue, brown, clear, black, or red to see which one you'd like. http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Cherry switches and boards http://www.overclock.net/keyboards/491752-mechanical-keyboard-guide.html | ||

Personally I prefer the 7g because of the right shift being bigger, and the backspace being smaller. I also generally like the feel of the 7g a bit more. And the wrist rest is amazing (but I use it with both my 7g and 6gv2) | ||

So honestly this question is probably moot since you wouldn't be able to get a 7G (unless you found one on Ebay) anyway. I ended up buying Filco (brown switch) keyboard from the classifieds at http://geekhack.org. Very very happy with it. | ||

Also if you unplug your keyboard a lot you need to make sure and turn the computer off with the 7 otherwise you run the risk of doing some damage. | ||

you cant buy it there..... see for yourself...Havent been able too for a while, sold out, out of stock everywhere. There are some "medal of honor" versions but a couple people say there is a problem with the MOH version. And I am not a medal of honor fan boy....Also the SS site doesnt have anywhere to pre-order so that is no help at all.. | ||

The 7G has been out of stock for a while with no plans to get it in stock (as far as they know). There seems to be a shortage of good mechanical keyboards with these guys and EliteKeyboards being out of stock... sc2 related?  | ||
