Final words and conclusion
The SteelKeys
6G is a very interesting keyboard
and it will make an excellent choice for many
gamers. Additionally the response is very quick,
it is amazingly durable and it also comes with
a second keyset. It is also comfortable to use
for prolonged periods of time, something which
we didn’t expect from a keyboard with such
tall keys and strong return strength. Still, it
is not suitable for office use as it won’t
be as comfortable as an x-type keyboard, plus
it will probably reduce your typing speed. Hence,
it will be a perfect keyboard for the MMORPG and
the RTS fanatic but it is not meant for an average
user. Unfortunately the price of the SteelKeys
6G keyboard is high; it costs consideraby more
than most keyboards which are already considered
expensive today.
Each of the three headsets from
SteelSeries is excellent for their specific market.
The 3H provides great sound quality
and maximum portability, the 4H
has top quality in-game sound performance for
professional gamers and the 5H v2 retains
the performance of the 4H and combines it with
a more durable and detailed design which also
allows it to be dismantled for transportation.
By now you would assume they would
cost a fortune. We cannot claim that they are
cheap, but they are not as expensive as some headphones
in their specific sector. While we were trying
to compare any common headset to the SteelSound
headsets, we couldn’t find one that could
compete with their sound clarity and quality,
particulary while listening to music and playing
movies. Even the cheapest 3H headset sounded better
than every one of the >40€ headphones
we tested against them. Perhaps a set of Sennheisers
would be a better match for the SteelSound series,
but Sennheisers can be expensive and are not made
specifically for computer gaming.
Taking the above into consideration,
we believe that the SteelSound series is worthy
of our DriverHeaven shortlist award.
