OC3D Review: Steelseries 7G Keyboard

Whilst you aren't specific on the LCD embedded keyboard, I wonder if you have used a G19? Whilst the steelseries is undoubtedly exceptional, I find the G19 to be signinficantly above average for general use and the macro keys would be missed even around the desktop and in typing documents.
Overall good review though.

Lol .. wow thats alot of money to invest in a keybord esp since its realy not that special ... Hmm i think that is serisly over priced for a pritty standard keybord with gold plating.....
I still think the original cherry keybords are better and lets be honist here. if you think thats going to make you a batter player in games you are so wrong lol the only way to get better in games is to play them properly.
allso the sound jacks to the keybord sound good but come on when your playing games do u realy want any wires near you kd at all. Not a chance ...
if they had a lcd and some nice real macro keys then it might be worth it but other wise thats just a show off peace of equipment that is for people with more money than sense.

While I'm sure that it's top in terms of design and quality, I just can't see it being worth that much. Fair enough, they've cut no corners on making it perform, but I get the feeling that a lot of the cost goes into the 'we're the best' factor rather than how much it costs to design and produce. I just don't see the point of getting one of these unless you've got more money than sense and really need that tiny bit extra when there are plenty of other products out there that perform to similar level and cost half the price.

It has media buttons, pseudo-media buttons. You can see them here:

You use the Steelseries key (left side, replacing Windows key) like an FN key.

So I broke down and bought one of these bad boys. My current keyboard only allows me to use 3 keys at a time. I'm a hardcore gamer and constantly use all five of my fingers while playing FPSs. I can see myself using one finger to push 2 keys now when it arrives.
I also appreciate the work done to make this thing last forever. This is definitely an investment just like a nice car or good pair of jeans. I don't need LCD screens on my keyboard as I'm distracted enough by just the scoreboard.

Just reporting back in. I have the keyboard in my hands now and typing on it as we speak. This things feels great. The build quality really is superb and if you don't have a PS/2 connection on your PC as far as I can tell you can still use at least 5 keys at a time with the USB converter.
I can understand why some people would be rift about the backspace key not being full size. And the LED lights for the Num Lock and etc really are bright. They seem like the ones used in my dad 14 LED flashlight!
No real other quirks I can think of right now. This thing is lovely to type on.
Looks like I won't need to purchase a new keyboard for a very long time.
