More information

SteelKeys 6G was originally released on the Asian market, because the game o2 Jam was attracting a large audience. The game raised the bar for detailed and advanced key combinations, to master the game players needed to press up to 9 different keys simultaneously.

The keyboard has undergone several revisions since the Asian launch, to further optimize it for First Person Shooters and the needs of gamers from the Western Hemisphere.

All keys on the SteelKeys 6G are designed to endure a life cycle of up to 60 million keystrokes and all connectors are gold plated with 18K gold to ensure extremely low latency. This allows for fast and reliable response times even when using the most detailed and advanced key combinations.

SteelKeys 6G uses a specially designed buffer system designed especially for PS/2 - up to 9 different keys can be used simultaneously. The use of PS/2 allows for easy plug-in to tournament computers at LAN-events and helps free up systems with limited USB-ports. Optional PS/2 to USB converter included.

An extra keyset for all standard-sized keys, created in a neutral grey colour, is furthermore included in the package. Keys can easily be swapped which allows the user to achieve better visual navigation while playing.

SteelKeys 6G is furthermore designed to withstand the strains of transportation, making it an optimal keyboard for gamers who frequent LAN-events. The casing is made of very durable thermoplastic and all keys are face plate mounted to a solid metal surface.

Coming soon

9 months of research and testing has gone into SteelKeys 6G. We have scouted the market for the best providers in switches, connectors, keys, ICs, mainboards, cords and platic materials, and combined them to create SteelKeys 6G. We are currently refining the keyboard even further - new features, optimized for truly hardcore gaming, will be announced soon.

SteelKeys 6G is scheduled for a summer 2006 release.
