The USB ports are only 1.0 so they're pretty useless apart from mouse (I have my LMO plugged into it). I don't use the wristwrest. So the extras aren't really a deal breaker. Great keyboard though

I don't know if you've ever tried the Cherry MX Black switches, pushing down the switches for me at least felt quite stiff. however, that is coming from someone who uses Cherry MX brown switches so I could be inherently biased just because I am used to key switch press that is really light since the browns require less actuation force than the blacks.

If you had to go with one go with the 6gv2, but I used them best and I like my das keyboard the best. Just a suggestion...

I seem to be almost alone with my opinion but I just love my 7G. You get used to the key layout really quickly and the large handrest makes it the most comfortable keyboard I've ever used - for gaming as well as typing.

If you don't plan on using the handrest anyway though, just go for the 6gv2. The ports etc. on the 7G are just luxury imho.

Using my 6gv2 atm, and it's grrrrrrrrrreat! I don't know if I'd rather have the extra features of the 7g, I also think it's handrest is goofy-looking.

I think the 6Gv2, despite being cheaper, actually looks better to me. I have personally used it at my friends house, and I would not recommend it, just because I'm not a fan of Cherry MX Black switches, but that's just me.

I use the 7g, it's okay as I got it as a gift. I push the switches all the way down. It's a little bit of a pain for typing, but it's quiet enough so that i can use it with a roomate, unlike my ibm model m

I have a 6gv2.. I admit it was actually surprising at first how stiff the buttons are, but im more used to them now and I like the keyboard.

It makes sense, its sponsored by a bunch FPS team, the blacks are good for FPS gamers. They are also good for button mashers.

Personally, I'm sending it back once my DAS ( browns ) arrives, but would recommend it to others.
