SteelSeries 7G
$150.00
Released May, 2008
The Pros:Handles multiple simultaneous key presses without a problem. Headphone, mic and USB ports built-in is convenient, cuts down on cord tangle. Feedback from the keyboard is perfect, tells you exactly when the key has been pressed.
The Cons:Keys make a fair amount of noise. Packaging is quite wasteful. Very high price point.
The SteelSeries 7G is a mechanical gaming keyboard designed for ultra-quick reaction times and advanced key combinations. It utilizes a PS/2 buffer-system in conjunction with a ghosting system to support as many simultaneous key press commands as there are keys.

This means users can do multiple tasks (crouch, aim, fire, etc.) at the same time. Also featured are audio ports for headphone-out / microphone-in use, a two-port USB hub, and media control keys for quickly adjusting the volume. Critics praise the SteelSeries 7G for its durable built, its low latency key presses, and its lack of bloatware. However, they have noted the lack of macro keys and other components that’d fit with such a price tag, such as integrated profiles and perhaps even an LCD display.
