Editorial Reviews

From the manufacturer
SteelKeys 6G is a professional gaming keyboard, designed and created exclusively for hardcore gamers. SteelKeys 6G can't tell you what time it is, recharge your iPod, illuminate your room with softcore lighting or make coffee - but it's amazingly responsive, extremely durable and optimized for gaming.

It's incredibly responsive thanks to gold plated connectors (18K gold), it's strong and solid thanks to a hard thermoplastic casing and all keys are face plate mounted to a solid metal surface.

All keys on the SteelKeys 6G are designed to endure a life cycle of up to 60 million keystrokes and all connectors are gold plated with 18K gold to ensure extremely low latency. This allows for fast and reliable response times even when using the most detailed and advanced key combinations.

SteelKeys 6G uses a specially designed buffer system designed especially for PS/2 - up to 8 different keys can be used simultaneously. The use of PS/2 allows for easy plug-in to tournament computers at LAN-events and helps free up systems with limited USB-ports. Optional PS/2 to USB converter included.

An extra keyset for all standard-sized keys, created in a neutral grey color, is furthermore included in the package. Keys can easily be swapped which allows the user to achieve better visual navigation while playing.

SteelKeys 6G is furthermore designed to withstand the strains of transportation, making it an optimal keyboard for gamers who frequent LAN-events. The casing is made of very durable thermoplastic and all keys are face plate mounted to a solid metal surface.

Customer Reviews

amazing response and feedback from keys
I like keys that click, most people don't yet they make almost none the only keyboard I ever had was the 2001 sum such form an old nineties computer, but this one has those keys again, but even more sturdy and robust. The response time(low latency) is just as advertised and you can use it for more than just games I am typing this with far less fluster than most of my "high-end" indi-glow blu "gaming keyboards" could dream of. no bulk no indi-glow blu lights, no frilly looks, just performance and a sturdy large set of keys and a deep stroke for gamers(who are rough on equipment anyway). play FPS and RTS in the same form as in EEZILY! the respones and feel of this device has to be experienced I can't explain further! the keys can be revoved for a different color as in distinguishing a critical key to a non crit also don't mistakingly put a num key pad "1" to the "1" that goes above WAPS or you'll be tugging to get it free(not that it seems to damage this arnold schwartzaneiger of a keyboard). pair it with creative's Fata1ity 2020(NOT 1010) and you'll have a complete input set for the gaming rig just remember, 2020 is a short squat little mouse and a Danny Divito(referenced somewhere) sized mouse and an Arnold Schwartzneiger Keyboard is an odd thing!
