Steelseries 6GV2?

[The_Strict_Nein]

A local second hand electronics shop has a Steelseries 6GV2 in the window for £40

 

Should I pick this keyboard up?

[Jobbe03]

Depends if you have a mechanical keyboard already. I have both the 6GV2 and a Razer Blackwidow, and i honestly prefer the blackwidow.

My only keyboard at the moment is a chiclet

For 40 quid that's a good buy, if it's in good condition. Mechanical keys are much more durable than membranes.

I'd probably ask them to take it out of the box so I could inspect it

Then you should. Black's aren't tactile though, but that's personal preference.

I really like mine (I've got the version with Red's - there is a black and red key setup). It's not as flashy as other, but I'd buy it again without hesitation.

What about second-hand sites?

 

I was able to find a used SteelSeries 6gv2 for £17, which was in very good condition.

Yeah, but that's relying on one actually appearing

 

What's your opinion on the board

When I'm considering to buy something I daily check the most popular site here in Denmark. Could go as far as to check eBay daily but that's simply too much work to save a few quid. I have recently bought a second-hand Blue Yeti in perfect condition with 25% off.

Don't know where you're from but you could try that for a week or two, maybe check for other mechanical keyboards that you've fallen in love with.

I don't use it on a daily basic as I prefer browns over blacks, the reason I bought it was because it was cheap and therefore a cheap way to find out whether I like blacks or not.

It is a great built keyboard however, so definitely worth the £17.

With many of my items, especially tech items, I like to take good care of them and for that reason I don't bring my beloved Ducky Mini to lan parties. So the 6gv2 makes a good lan party keyboard because of it being so cheap, if it brakes it was only £17.
