Overall

In the end it comes back down to preference once again. SteelSeries manufactured a durable high quality keyboard that will hold up to just about any abuse. They did include media keys for anyone who needs them but it’s clear that gaming is the 6G’s main focus. My only complaint was with the edge of the spacebar, I would like to see it be more comfortable considering how often it is used in most FPS’s. That being said this is still a great keyboard that comes in at $50 less than the 7G, its older brother. For someone who is looking for a mechanical keyboard with a focus on gaming without all of the flashing lights of other gaming keyboards this is the way to go.

Pro’s

Well placed function key pulls double duty

Heavy, will not slide

Cherry Black switches

Con’s

Sharp edge to the spacebar

You might call him obsessed or just a hardcore geek. Wes's obsession with gaming hardware and gadgets isn't anything new, he could be found taking things apart even as a child. When not poking around in PC's he can be found playing League of Legends, Awesomenauts, or Civilization 5 or watching a wide variety of TV shows and Movies. A car guy at heart, the same things that draw him into tweaking cars apply when building good looking fast computers.

Our second Steel Series review this week. Paired up with a Sensei this could be a good combo

I have one. it's great. I came from a Rosewill RK-9000 which clicked. The 6g does not and that took some time to get use too. Love the keyboard and steelseries products.
