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

00:00:05.319 --> 00:00:11.880
is their premium keyboard and it is

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:13.519
for pro gaming yes you guessed it

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:17.240
excellent so this is a no click mechanical gaming keyboard that means it

00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:20.880
uses all mechanical switches but it doesn't use the ones that that have like

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

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

00:00:28.599 --> 00:00:35.079
be as quiet as a membrane keyo board but you get that tactical feedback off it

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:38.840
that you do not get off a lower quality keyboard wow that was really long and

00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:43.600
run out okay 18K goldplated connectors for extremely low latency I'm not sure

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:48.039
how that affects the latency but they do say gaming grade durability 50 million

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:51.160
keystrokes goldplated connectors will affect the durability gold is not used

00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:56.440
on connectors because it's a particularly good conductor it's used

00:00:53.760 --> 00:01:02.480
because it is a malleable soft metal so it is an extremely durable conductor

00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:05.119
wherever they are moving Parts WD etc

00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:09.960
etc etc this supports the use of all keys simultaneously that is a very cool

00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:15.320
feature very few other keyboards on the market support a feature like that okay

00:01:12.759 --> 00:01:19.400
removable super steady handr uh durable metal inner chassis used and endorsed by

00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:23.320
the world's best Esports players steel series media controls and a 2m braided

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

00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:32.399
associations that this is associated with and then we are going to open did

00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:38.000
you look at those you're supposed to look at the gaming associations okay and

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

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

00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:52.960
I'm going to give away my personal bias here almost everything they make I

00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:56.560
really really like so I'm fully expecting to like this keyboard if I can

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

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

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

00:02:07.479 --> 00:02:12.760
videos on how to open the box of the product because then how would you get

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

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

00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:24.040
so big that it's hard to uh fit both me

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

00:02:26.200 --> 00:02:33.239
boxes too presentation very nice I give

00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:35.560
it a plus I've seen better but it gets

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

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

00:02:42.200 --> 00:02:49.200
look at what it comes with in terms of accessories and add-ons so inside here

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

00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:59.480
believe the anti- ghosting feature only works if you plug it in by PS2 but do

00:02:56.959 --> 00:03:04.159
not quote me on that cuz I'm not 100% sure

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:06.599
okay and then we have a steel series

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

00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:14.680
series professional gaming gear catalog that shows you a bunch of their other

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

00:03:17.640 --> 00:03:24.799
be some kind of users's manual professional gaming keyboard oh wow this

00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:26.799
is oh this is the best diagram ever okay

00:03:24.799 --> 00:03:33.720
so can you can you see can you read this one professional gaming keyboard two

00:03:30.959 --> 00:03:39.080
handr bam just in case you could not figure that out that is how it works

00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:42.599
okay so SK spawn one of the four most Counter-Strike players in the world uh

00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:46.400
helped with the development of the steel series 7g he has won more than a dozen

00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:49.640
major International Grandam he uses the following keyboard setup when playing

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

00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:58.959
professional gaming very very seriously and it comes down to yeah even that

00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:03.760
they'll give you tips on how to configure their product just like the

00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:08.159
professional gamers in the world use it okay so let's here's the keyboard itself

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

00:04:10.720 --> 00:04:17.199
I wouldn't normally comment on the quality of a cord but check that out

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

00:04:19.400 --> 00:04:25.479
got one more here really sorry about that so this includes all of the cables

00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:30.520
that need to be plugged into this keyboard in one little convenient cord

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

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

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

00:04:39.840 --> 00:04:45.280
into that if you want to use the keyboard by USB which works just fine

00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:49.080
there's your uh mic there's your speakers because you have passrs in the

00:04:47.400 --> 00:04:53.160
back of the keyboard so you can actually plug your headset directly into the back

00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:56.080
of the keyboard right there rather than plugging them around into the back of

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

00:04:59.320 --> 00:05:04.560
another USB port this is for the USB hub

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:09.800
okay these are actually labeled see this is keyboard can you can you read that

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

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

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

00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:27.520
this so you can hear that these keys

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:31.440
while not completely quiet are much quieter than a traditional mechanical

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

00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:40.120
couple different features here first of all this Windows key gone this is now

00:05:37.919 --> 00:05:44.240
the steel series key this is used for any of the functionality up here so if

00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:48.479
you want to mute the volume decrease it increase it play back forward that's

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

00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:56.400
done nothing Goofy with the layout as far as standard layouts go the one thing

00:05:54.880 --> 00:06:00.919
I personally don't like and a lot of people do like this is the shortened

00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:04.759
backspace I have very small hands and for me to actually reach that backspace

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

00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:13.240
but that's a personal gripe these light up bright white they're very very very

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

00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:22.319
incredibly stupid I'll be the first person to tell you that but I actually

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

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

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

00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:40.800
comfortable wrist rest I have ever encountered on a keyboard it really

00:06:38.599 --> 00:06:44.120
supports you unlike some of the goofy goofy wrist rests that I've seen that

00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:49.319
are shaped or fashionable or whatever this takes functionality and just drives

00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:54.000
that point all the way to the Finish Line because it is functional and

00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:58.400
comfortable so with that sort of gushing out of the way thank you for checking oh

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

00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:06.560
going to want to use like any high-speed USB flash drives or anything like that

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

00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:15.000
low power and low bandwidth device so and there's your built-in mic and

00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:19.120
headphone ports it has little rubberized grips on the bottom as well and one of

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

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

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

00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:39.879
throw it down it would be just fine thank you for checking out my unboxing

00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:39.879
of the steel series 7g
