INTRODUCTION

    It seems that lately more and more companies have started rolling out mechanical keyboards, some very good ones and some not quite as good. If you ask me this is long overdue since most keyboards up until today had both a somewhat limited lifecycle and severe ghosting issues. A few months ago with us we had one of the latest SteelSeries the quite excellent 6Gv2 Mechanical keyboard which left us with a very good overall impression. Today we decided to take its older brother the 7G Pro Gaming Keyboard for a spin and see just how much better it is.

    From day one, SteelSeries has been focused on making professional gaming gear that provide meaningful benefits to gamers of all skill-level, with the most demanding being those gamers whose lively hood depends on the performance of our products. We believe, as most gamers do, in winning, not trying! What originally began as a small two-person operation in Copenhagen back in 2001 has become a global leader in professional gaming products. SteelSeries recognized the need for superior, high-quality professional gaming gear that would give players a competitive edge. Fast-forward to today, and we've come a long way since our first glass mousepad. We have global offices in North America, Europe, and Asia, providing an integrated portfolio of products designed specifically for gaming. Fueling our growth is you, the gamer!

    Compared to the 6Gv2 Mechanical Keyboard the 7G comes with a few nice additions such as gold plated mechanical switches, Audio and USB ports and a large handrest which should come quite handy for people who spend many hours typing. True compared to the 6Gv2 Mechanical keyboard the key stroke of the 7G is identical but and so some differences are impossible to notice but compared to other mechanical keyboards (and of course normal keyboards) the 7G is simply light years ahead. Pictures however speak louder than words in such reviews so let's move forward and take a closer look at the 7G Pro Gaming Mechanical Keyboard by SteelSeries.
