SteelSeries 6Gv2 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review

[NickDemonic]

What are the songs used in video? Theo ne in the very beginning and the next one :)

[LosWackos]

Danish design <3

[X20c3ntX]

You sound alot like mohamed from productfeedback :OO !

[Dimitry49]

@X20c3ntX Lol! I work with mohamad, who is the owner of productfeedback and i have done videos for him, one including this keyboard.

[X20c3ntX]

@Dimitry49 :P

[Alexxcantshuffle]

ehm i dont think i will like this because it doesnt have any wrist rest :/ can you advice me? i use the razer lycosa because of that sexy wrist rest

[Wadefin]

@Alexxcantshuffle The 7G has a wrist rest. It might look a bit stupid the first time but when you are using it it feels great.

[chee006]

can anyone tell me why this keyboard is so expensive?

[Helmutlozzi]

@chee006 It's the brand. Steelseries. Like with Apple products.

[Barman1942]

What microphone are you using there on your desk?

[SchwinSuthisuvann]

@Barman1942 ฺBlue Yeti USB Condensor Microphone :)

[HystadCinema]

This keyboard is just SO AWESOME! :D!!! Bought it 2 days ago and i really like it :) I play competitive cod4 promod (aku) where movement is a huge skill advantage, and this keyboard lets me handle my movement so much better :) Thanks for the review :) and the product ;) steelseries <3

[MultiSnoopDawg]

@DayYytona Im not dimitry, but I'll tell you what I know. So if your not getting the widow for macros or backlighting , I do in every case suggest steelseries. It's faster, safer, of higher grade and it has better springs under the keys. But just so your warned, the g series have 70 gram weight in keys, while that doesnt sound like much, it ain't light on your fingers after long use, where the widow is at 50 grams. But you must read about the switches before buying

[DayYytona]

@MultiSnoopDawg thank you very much! :D

[MultiSnoopDawg]

@DayYytona lol, i feel nice now :D nice to help

[ensampojken]

I just purchased one today and it's nice, I just have one thing. My enter-key isn't entirely stabilized. The "upper" key/part of it isn't stabilized, only the two lower keys are. Make sense? Anyone else have this issue, or is it just that the way it is designed. Are there stabilizers in this keyboard for the enter key?

[DayYytona]

dimitry can u pls tell me this keyboard or blackwidow?

[2eucee]

If only SS had a illuminated mechanical keyboard.

[trueskyte]

I have a suggestion for improvement:

Since you emphasized that it is a mechanical keyboard I would have liked you to at least briefly go over the various types of switches there are and what it means that these are black ones. :)

[RyanK733]

@trueskyte There is loads of info here: geekhack org/showwiki.php?title=Cherry+­Corporation+Switch+Wiki

[slzslz]

You should review the Mionix Zibal 60 keyboard;)

[SanyaIVLitvyak]

I used to have this, then I got the Corsair Vengeance K90 and I think it's much better, the corsair feels like better quality and I like the red switches more than the black ones. the only reason I got the K90 instead of the K60 is because it's backlit. I'd actually rather have a backlit K60 as I don't want all the extra Gkeys on the K90. Tho all of that is just my opinion.

[101Collateral]

This or the shift ?

[BrawlEmAll]

@101Collateral This! Shift isn't worth it, not enough key-sets and without them the 6G beats it by far.

[101Collateral]

@BrawlEmAll k thnx :D

[Fangkay]

@FlamencoDeniz The xx - Intro

Love that song

[Hulavuta]

Not going to break from gamer's rage?

Guess IdrA's the exception, he raged so hard his F4 key flew straight off.

[1337Wunderbaum]

@Hulavuta Yes but slaming your headset into your keyboard isn`t the best idea xDDD

[Snookik]

@Hulavuta I heard he has to quit manually now, F10+N is broken now too.

[OriMedian]

is it possible to rebind the left steelseries key to the win key?

[FlamencoDeniz]

whats the music in the intro?

[wivall]

The music in the video is "Kiunguja - Original Mix."

[christina555]

Keyboard looks nice, I like the clicky noise mechanical keyboards make.

[Androgenies]

I think I heard your voice on Hardware Canucks videos. Is that you, Dimitry49?

[Dimitry49]

@Androgenies Yes it is! Welcome to my channel!

[Androgenies]

@Dimitry49 Nice reviews, man. Now following you on Twitter. :)

[SumerianScientist1]

Whats the song in the beginning called?

[SetbabyStarCraft]

@blowtell3 Unfortunately, no. For USB, it's limited to 6 keys. With PS2 however, it unlimited.

[ReiEv70]

I had this keyboard for a week, and it's very pleasant to use! I prefer the Cherry Blacks over the Blues - if you come from a membrane keyboard, the 6GV2 keys seem softer to press. I'm very satisfied with the purchase.

[GepettoFreak]

Thanks for the review! Getting one tomorrow! I can't wait :D!!!

[TheChroomeMA]

knows anyone here if its possible to buy the 6gv2 at a shop? or just online

[blowtell3]

can you press more than 6 keys with usb?

[xchrisbobisx]

Gamers who rage are usually children whos parents bought them all their gaming stuff. No matter how bad I get pwned I would not risk breaking a $100 keyboard in RL because I had to pay for that shit myself.

[FlentMan]

I got this but my dad didn't FUCKING SHIP IT TO ME YET

[Jonwyx]

Excellent. Beyond words. Easily one of my favorite tech reviewers now! I think you can easily be compared to tldtoday or jon4lakers IMO, but it might just be me. KUTGW!

[haiiyaa]

Which non-gaming mechanical keyboard do you have?

[shinjieva]

was it difficult to get used to since it didn't have a adjust level on the under of the keyboard?

[KenDiriwan]

Gamers Rage ! Lol

[SubL0ck]

Very nice review, thx.

[JeemOfRunescape]

bought one today. im sooooooooooo happy i switched from a rubber dome to a mechanical keyboard, takes a while to adjust =P

[planetofpoo]

Sexy camera work and review

[dingumfCallofDuty]

NKRO through ps/2

6KRO through usb

[JeemOfRunescape]

i love your reviews, you know what you talk about and you talk very clear (and english!) i hate when ppl are like "mumble.... Mechanical Switches mumble...." etc.. keep up your epic reviews!

[ElektroHut]

windows key is normally on the left...

[JeemOfRunescape]

@ElektroHut its normaly on the right and left...

[ElektroHut]

@JeemOfRunescape no not at all. The menu key is on the right.

[JeemOfRunescape]

@ElektroHut the MENU key in on the right, windows key is on right and left u said: "Windows key is normally on the left..."

[ElektroHut]

@JeemOfRunescape Maybe in your country. Not here atleast. I've never seen a Windows key on the right.

[MUHKehrin]

A tip from a guy that owns the 6G V2: DONT DRINK FUCKING COKE !(or other stuff you can drink with sugar in it!) It will mess up all the Keys, my : m n h z 6 u j dont work anymore because of that !:(

[lazzermusen]

excellent review. we need more like this.

[mamananau]

@leanlifter Its called The XX - Intro

Just in case you didn't know the name ;)

[MathusPlays]

thanks to your review i purchased one of these and i am super happy with it and it is 100% worth the money thank you and keep up the reviews

[Dimitry49]

@MathusPlays I agree! The best keyboard ever! lol, thanks for support! XD

[JeemOfRunescape]

@Dimitry49 the only TWO lacks i find is: no palm rest and a HUGE FREAKING ENTER BUTTON! (under backspace) so they have to move the * button =/

[BuStRX]

@Dimitry49 I also bought one and love it, but i did find a wristrest necessary, because of the height.

[megamindstorm101]

@MathusPlays How is the tactile feedback? some people say its there some people say it isnt. Also how easy is it to press ? pretty easy? only mechanical keyboard i tried was a mx cherry blue and this one is black if I absolutely feel in love with the feel of the blue wouold I like these too?

[EndureFocusEngageDie]

can you really press more than 6 keys at once?...

[Dimitry49]

@EndureFocusEngageDie no i just said that to fool people!~ :PP Yes, with the P2p adapter, as many as you can press will be registered!

[EndureFocusEngageDie]

@Dimitry49 p2p adapter ? >.<

[Dimitry49]

@EndureFocusEngageDie sorry, PS/2 adapter. THe old school motherboard plug!

[weel991]

i like steelseries!

[RyanK733]

Great review, should I go for this over the Logitech G510?

[Hamish500000]

IT BE EXPENSIVE O_O.

[Dimitry49]

@Hamish500000 perhaps, but its worth it!!

[mogh07]

@Hamish500000 Expensive? It's the cheapest mechanical keyboard around, and not to sound elitist but if you care at all about having nice keys at your fingertips you must have one. There are keyboards for ten times the price of this one, that I've seriously considered buying.

[1blue1]

The best keyboard I have ever used. Dimitry what mic do you use? :)

[Dimitry49]

@1blue1 Agree 100%! love the keyboard! i'm using the Blue YETI mic.

[MYMAnarchy]

According to my knowledge, this one uses Cherry MX-Black and the Blackwidow from Razer uses Cherry MX-Blue. Pretty tough choice between these 2, although I heard people say that Cherry MX-Black is better for gaming so as Cherry MX-Blue is great for word typing. I am both gaming and typing a lot. Great review by the way :D

[Dimitry49]

@MYMAnarchy Yes you are correct! Uses Cherry MX-Black keys. I've tried Blackwidow and it doesnt feel as solid as the 6Gv2. The keys are slightly easier to press on BlackWidow and they are much lighter, making the overall product feel cheap. The 6Gv2 is real nice for both typing and gaming, not going back to silicone keyboards no more.

[MYMAnarchy]

@Dimitry49 Really appreciate your feedback. Keep up the good work and do better and better videos in the future.

[brandondapro]

@MYMAnarchy Not sure if yuo made a choice yet. To be honest, MX Blue is loud, is all. Black really is the way to go. Not trying to be a razer fanboy... buuuut.... wait yeah im totally being a steelseries fanboy -.-

[MYMAnarchy]

@brandondapro it depends on your typing and gaming usage. As I said it's really tough to choice, but I still have a pretty good amount of time to research before I can make any purchase on a gaming keyboard

[SyndicateR1]

Such a clean, simple review with all the things I expected to see when I clicked "Play"!

you are truly a review expert!

[Dimitry49]

@SyndicateR1 Awesome! glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the compliment! Expect some more in the near future, seems like steelseries like my stuff and i should expect more from them!

[Dimitry49]

THUMBS UP FOR MORE REVIEWS LIKE THIS! 

[Dimitry49]

@buk355 Thanks man! deff happy with this upgrade!

[RoyalPCmods]

haha gaming teams are a load of crap they get sponsored to put there name on the shitty keyboard

[Dimitry49]

@RoyalPCmods I wouldn't call this a shitty keyboard! much more solid then my other Logitech G110 gaming keyboard. I love the mechanical keys and it has amazing feedback for FPS gaming. I suggest you try it before bashing this great product!

[DDeyanski]

Nice,

Look how nice and junkie the left SHIFT is!

I think it sucks big time that they removed the win button from there, since it is ONLY used win + d and win + e... all in the left part of the layout :/ Most games allow you to disable the win button while in the game... That's the only thing I dont like about it, otherwise it sounds/looks awsome!!!

[Dan7hearz]

Dima Krasva4eg ) klasno obesnil 4o po 4om )

[x2DGProductionz]

Nice review dimi! I agree that steelseries 6Gv2 is a good, simple and smart keyboard, but i really dont like it ;( too "old-school" style for Me! Btw, good review 5/5!

[Runningr0se]

Is that a blue mic's Yeti?

[Dimitry49]

@Runningr0se Yes, all my reviews are recorded with this mic. It delivers an amazing sound quality! :D

[MultiW8]

i love that song :D

[alectomonyo]

I really hope you get blown up on YouTube. You have fantastic reviews!!!

Please keep up the good work.

[Dimitry49]

@alectomonyo I hope so too! XD thanks for your feedback!

[alectomonyo]

0:55 Choose, or get paid/get free mice and keyboards :P

[Dimitry49]

@alectomonyo haha, but they do have options to go with other brands, steelseries just was there first! :P

[Dimitry49]

@Madeira23100 i have not had experience with Roccat Arvo, however Roccat produce AMAZING build quality products so expect some competition.

[Jackles2012]

If this keyboard featured back lit keys (more specifically customizable colors) I would get it for sure.

[Dimitry49]

@Jackles2012 Yes, that would have added a nice touch, but i guess they were going for simplicity in this one! Razer offers a mechanical keyboard with backlit keys and some other features, however i bet the built quality is more poor with razer products!

[NextLvlProductions]

Did the left arrow button died ? xD jk

I really like it 5/5

[Dimitry49]

@NextLvlProductions hahaha XD, thanks for support!

[3dkiller]

this guy knows how to review stuff ! he explains everything just what the buyer needs to hear.

[Dimitry49]

@3dkiller Awesome compliment,! XD thanks so much! stay tuned for more reviews

[the5creename]

I actually like the simple design

[Dimitry49]

@the5creename Yes i love how simple it looks. fits my DELL u2311h very well. Its the same type of black coating on both the keyboard and the keyboard. XD

[the5creename]

Thanks for the video was actually looking for a mechanical keyboard review

[Dimitry49]

@the5creename You are very welcome! XD

[mitchlin71]

Again..a very nice quality video. Too bad YT's bandwidth is reaching its max so it seems.

[Dimitry49]

@mitchlin71 Thanks, what do you mean about the bandwidth?

[duysmith]

good review. i got to test one at a shop and was very impressed. now i just need one with macros since i use them quite a lot on my Logitech G15.

[Dimitry49]

@duysmith Thanks! yes its quite nice with the feedback of mechanical keys. I've had the G110 gaming keyboard from Logitech with the macro keys and all, however never found myself using them, thus the switch to this keyboard.

[VoLtrex31]

Still prefer Razer keybaords... looks like  my $5 keybeord.. a bullshit..

though headset are quite good ...

[Dimitry49]

@VoLtrex31 Dont agree with you on that, razer products are poorly built, and look pretty.

[FUNSK8BOARDING]

I really like your reviews :)

[Dimitry49]

@FUNSK8BOARDING thanks! appreciate the support! 

[cptroger]

nice review, around 70 euro's in europe. I'll get one when building a gaming rig.

[Dimitry49]

@cptroger deff. 100% recommend this keyboard. for gaming, its perfect!

[productfeedback]

Awesome review, cant wait to get my hands on mine.

[Dimitry49]

@productfeedback Thanks Muhammad, hope you get yours too!

[Zillerz3]

Steelseries is a good company. (my bro has a steelseries mousepad SC2 edition)

What do you think about the Razer Tarantula keyboard?

[Dimitry49]

@Zillerz3 I am not a big fan of Razer products. i think they try to focus on making their products pretty but not very concentrated in terms of build quality.

[aztechnotronic]

does it have a backlight?gamers like to play in darkness to increase the gaming experience...

[Dimitry49]

@aztechnotronic did you not watch the review? :P

[MixerGamingHD]

nice

[XxViciousxX]

very nice review and a great product.

[Dimitry49]

@XxViciousxX Thankx!

[Warbsky]

What camera do you use to record?

[Dimitry49]

@Warbsky Canon t2i, kit lens + nifty fifty

[cmanclan101]

These plain and simple type gaming boards are good for shooters or other, less complex display games. But for mmos or rpgs i prefer having programable keys and a display is always a plus. I love my logitech g15

[Dimitry49]

@cmanclan101 True, for RPG games it would be more useful for programmable keys and the LCD.

[soggymaster]

Mechanical keyboards are super sexy!!!  Bit pricey though. Might find an old IBM keyboard instead.

[Dimitry49]

@soggymaster haha, no an OLD IBM keyboard stands no chance with competition from SteelSeries 6Gv2! lol

[aelsi1337]

the anti ghosting you were talking about is called full n-key rollover

[Dimitry49]

@aelsi1337 thanks for clarification, looked it up and you are correct!

[chinoangel1]

Pm sent

[oOcrazy95Oo]

50 million key strokes or 5mins of wow :P

[Dimitry49]

@oOcrazy95Oo lol..good thing i dont play wow! XD

[MBP6705]

I love steelseries. So simple and so functional.

[strikerofear]

i bet it has f13 (lol). but seriously, do you need to clean it at all? or is it pretty hard for stuff to get under it?

[Dimitry49]

@strikerofear I guess getting dirt underneath the keys is inevitable for all types of keyboards, but i guess you can remove the keys to clean.

[GeekTipz]

But i want the LEDS =0 they make me feel like a pro

[chinoangel1]

My friend you do the most interesting and professional reviews you deserve more subscribers I am posting your videos in my facebook!!! Moar pls!

[Dimitry49]

@chinoangel1 Thanks for your comment! again, appreciate your support with Facebook. i guess its time for me to actually get it! lol

[fl1pz0R]

Awesome m8! Keep up ur good work! :)

[Dimitry49]

@fl1pz0R thanks m8! will keep up the good work! :P
