1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:08,800
so I've got a pretty cool product here today this is the steel Series 7g this

2
00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:11,880
is their premium keyboard and it is

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,519
for pro gaming yes you guessed it

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:17,240
excellent so this is a no click mechanical gaming keyboard that means it

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:20,880
uses all mechanical switches but it doesn't use the ones that that have like

6
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:26,439
a springy clicky sound to them when you click them so it's should be in theory

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:31,160
not quite as loud as something like an IBM model M but I mean it's not going to

8
00:00:28,599 --> 00:00:35,079
be as quiet as a membrane keyo board but you get that tactical feedback off it

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:38,840
that you do not get off a lower quality keyboard wow that was really long and

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:43,600
run out okay 18K goldplated connectors for extremely low latency I'm not sure

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:48,039
how that affects the latency but they do say gaming grade durability 50 million

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:51,160
keystrokes goldplated connectors will affect the durability gold is not used

13
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:56,440
on connectors because it's a particularly good conductor it's used

14
00:00:53,760 --> 00:01:02,480
because it is a malleable soft metal so it is an extremely durable conductor

15
00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:05,119
wherever they are moving Parts WD etc

16
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:09,960
etc etc this supports the use of all keys simultaneously that is a very cool

17
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:15,320
feature very few other keyboards on the market support a feature like that okay

18
00:01:12,759 --> 00:01:19,400
removable super steady handr uh durable metal inner chassis used and endorsed by

19
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:23,320
the world's best Esports players steel series media controls and a 2m braided

20
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:28,840
cord okay so at the back we're going to see a whole bunch of uh gaming

21
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:32,399
associations that this is associated with and then we are going to open did

22
00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:38,000
you look at those you're supposed to look at the gaming associations okay and

23
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:44,000
then after that we will open the box so I get my knife here going to cut my

24
00:01:41,399 --> 00:01:48,200
seal okay there we go so let's get this out I love steel series products to be

25
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:52,960
I'm going to give away my personal bias here almost everything they make I

26
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:56,560
really really like so I'm fully expecting to like this keyboard if I can

27
00:01:54,600 --> 00:02:01,920
ever get it open see they tricked me you have to actually get rid of this seal in

28
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:06,119
a addition to the seal on the other side in order to get the keyboard to slide

29
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:09,440
out there we go that wasn't see it's a good thing we have these instructional

30
00:02:07,479 --> 00:02:12,760
videos on how to open the box of the product because then how would you get

31
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:17,040
this open you wouldn't be able to it'd be very challenging okay so I'm going to

32
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:21,720
just move and we're going to sort of focus on the keyboard here because it's

33
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:24,040
so big that it's hard to uh fit both me

34
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:29,440
and the keyboard in the frame here so let's take uh part the box I love black

35
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:33,239
boxes too presentation very nice I give

36
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:35,560
it a plus I've seen better but it gets

37
00:02:33,239 --> 00:02:40,560
the point across here is what you paid the big bucks for cuz this is a very

38
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:43,879
expensive keyboard so here I'm just going to take this out and let's have a

39
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:49,200
look at what it comes with in terms of accessories and add-ons so inside here

40
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:55,000
you will find a little baggie and it is full of a PS2 to USB adapter now I

41
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:59,480
believe the anti- ghosting feature only works if you plug it in by PS2 but do

42
00:02:56,959 --> 00:03:04,159
not quote me on that cuz I'm not 100% sure

43
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:06,599
okay and then we have a steel series

44
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:10,599
case badge sticker okay so you can stick that on your case then we have a steel

45
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:14,680
series professional gaming gear catalog that shows you a bunch of their other

46
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:19,799
stuff which is also really good okay and then we have the 7g so this appears to

47
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:24,799
be some kind of users's manual professional gaming keyboard oh wow this

48
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,799
is oh this is the best diagram ever okay

49
00:03:24,799 --> 00:03:33,720
so can you can you see can you read this one professional gaming keyboard two

50
00:03:30,959 --> 00:03:39,080
handr bam just in case you could not figure that out that is how it works

51
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:42,599
okay so SK spawn one of the four most Counter-Strike players in the world uh

52
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:46,400
helped with the development of the steel series 7g he has won more than a dozen

53
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:49,640
major International Grandam he uses the following keyboard setup when playing

54
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:55,360
his setup is optimized for Speed and accessibility maybe you will find it helpful these guys take their

55
00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:58,959
professional gaming very very seriously and it comes down to yeah even that

56
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:03,760
they'll give you tips on how to configure their product just like the

57
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:08,159
professional gamers in the world use it okay so let's here's the keyboard itself

58
00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:12,200
we got our 2 m braided cord here which is a very nice chord I wouldn't normally

59
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:17,199
I wouldn't normally comment on the quality of a cord but check that out

60
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,440
okay well if I can ever get it untwist tied then I'd be able to show you oh we

61
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:25,479
got one more here really sorry about that so this includes all of the cables

62
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:30,520
that need to be plugged into this keyboard in one little convenient cord

63
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,639
and then it goes around see how look how long this is okay so it goes around to

64
00:04:32,199 --> 00:04:37,199
the back of your computer in another room I guess and then it has all of the

65
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,840
connectors that you need so here's your PS2 you'll plug a USB to PS2 adapter

66
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:45,280
into that if you want to use the keyboard by USB which works just fine

67
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:49,080
there's your uh mic there's your speakers because you have passrs in the

68
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:53,160
back of the keyboard so you can actually plug your headset directly into the back

69
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:56,080
of the keyboard right there rather than plugging them around into the back of

70
00:04:54,759 --> 00:05:03,120
the computer it allows you to use a much shorter cord if you also have a steel series headset and then you've got

71
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:04,560
another USB port this is for the USB hub

72
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:09,800
okay these are actually labeled see this is keyboard can you can you read that

73
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:14,280
it's okay it says keyboard and this says Hub so that you don't get confused

74
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:17,039
because PS2 is not for a hub okay so then there's the keyboard itself now I'm

75
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:21,160
going to get the camera a little bit close so that it can actually hear me more than see

76
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:27,520
this so you can hear that these keys

77
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:31,440
while not completely quiet are much quieter than a traditional mechanical

78
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:35,479
keyboard with the uh with the spring sort of sound in it okay so you got a

79
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:40,120
couple different features here first of all this Windows key gone this is now

80
00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:44,240
the steel series key this is used for any of the functionality up here so if

81
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:48,479
you want to mute the volume decrease it increase it play back forward that's

82
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:52,639
used for all of that you do still have a Windows key over on this side they have

83
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:56,400
done nothing Goofy with the layout as far as standard layouts go the one thing

84
00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:00,919
I personally don't like and a lot of people do like this is the shortened

85
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:04,759
backspace I have very small hands and for me to actually reach that backspace

86
00:06:02,759 --> 00:06:08,840
while keeping it's not going to happen so I like a backspace that's right here

87
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:13,240
but that's a personal gripe these light up bright white they're very very very

88
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:18,720
nice to look at it has a full number pad all that good stuff um this this looks

89
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:22,319
incredibly stupid I'll be the first person to tell you that but I actually

90
00:06:20,919 --> 00:06:28,479
already have one of these keyboards I'm just unboxing a new one so that I can unbox it for you I love this keyboard

91
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:31,800
and the reason I love it has very little to do with the keyboard it's a great

92
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:36,440
keyboard but I'm not that fussy about them this is it because this is the most

93
00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:40,800
comfortable wrist rest I have ever encountered on a keyboard it really

94
00:06:38,599 --> 00:06:44,120
supports you unlike some of the goofy goofy wrist rests that I've seen that

95
00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:49,319
are shaped or fashionable or whatever this takes functionality and just drives

96
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:54,000
that point all the way to the Finish Line because it is functional and

97
00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:58,400
comfortable so with that sort of gushing out of the way thank you for checking oh

98
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:02,360
oh sorry sorry sorry here's the USB hub it's a USB 1 .1 Hub so you're not really

99
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:06,560
going to want to use like any high-speed USB flash drives or anything like that

100
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:10,680
but it'll work just fine for a mouse and whatever else you need that's a that's a

101
00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:15,000
low power and low bandwidth device so and there's your built-in mic and

102
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:19,120
headphone ports it has little rubberized grips on the bottom as well and one of

103
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:24,800
the things they did mention is the metal frame inside so you can see there's actually very little Flex to this

104
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:29,000
keyboard and it's got a how the Box fell it's got It's got a lot of heft to it as

105
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:33,599
well it's very durable feeling it's the kind of that if you like rage and you

106
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:39,879
throw it down it would be just fine thank you for checking out my unboxing

107
00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:39,879
of the steel series 7g
