SteelSeries 7G Review

fams — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:29:00 +0100

Opening the Box: When I had received the keyboard I was very skeptical, I had only ever heard good reviews on it and I generally disagree with most reviews, especially ones exclaiming how great a product is and how much I will love it more than my current one. Opening the box I found there was more inside than just my keyboard. Steel Series had given me the sticker, and all the pamphlets, etc. but also an adapter which I was excited to see. To be honest the adapter comes in handy. However I chose to use PS2 so I would not suffer from any ghosting. I noticed immediately that I had a 'Euro style' keyboard (smaller backspace and shift buttons, and a larger Enter button). Coming from the opposite of that, it was very annoying at the start, constantly pressing the wrong keys when trying to Caps something or backspace a mistake. However if you use your computer as much as I do -At least 6 hours a day- then you will get used to it within 2 days. I spoke to other people who said it took them a little longer to get used to it, but obviously it's not a big deal.

MLG Aftermath Blog with Woundman

fams — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:22:00 +0100

Well, MLG Anaheim is finally over. I had a good time there, even though I performed horribly when it mattered most. I was more comfortable in Anaheim than Dallas, but that apparently didn't help my play at all. I guess one could say I have LAN jitters. I'm really disappointed in my play at Anaheim. I'm capable of so much more, but for some reason I just can't perform the way I'd like when I'm at a LAN event. If I'm ever going to win a tournament, I really need to step my game up.
