The keyboard citing multiple key presses as its speciality has gamers in its sights
Great build quality ; Can record 104 simultaneous key presses ; Mechanical keys ; Easy to clean
Not ergonomic ; Lacks additional keys
This pro gaming keyboard helps avoid ghosting in videogames with its multiple key presses, but is uncomfortable for typing

The SteelSeries 6Gv2 is billed as a gaming keyboard from a gaming accessories company, and that origin shows through in a few design decisions that, depending on what we were doing, we found either useful or really annoying.

Incredible build quality, excellent mechanical switches
Lack of extra features, short right shift key makes typing difficult
If the SteelSeries 6Gv2 looks familiar to you, it’s probably because you’re already familiar with the 7G, SteelSeries’ flagship mechanical-key keyboard. SteelSeries didn’t update the 7G this year, and it’s still the company’s top-of-the-line model. The...
