SteelSeries 7G keyboard sure to be popular with gamers, Goldfinger

steel7g_main.jpg

If you love precious metals in your computer peripherals, you'll love SteelSeries 7G keyboard, designed specifically for PC gaming. Belying the company's name just a bit, the 7G has 18-karat gold plating in every key switch to reduce latency, making sure that when you hit that spacebar, that shoulder-mounted missile fires right now.

On top of the gold, the 7G has a buffer system that's designed to take as many simultaneous button pushes as you can dish out — the entire keyboard's worth, in fact. Durability is impressive, too, rated to handle 50 million operations in its lifetime, said to be about 10 times a typical keyboard — a good quality to have in the adrenaline- and caffeine-fuelled world of gaming.

In addition to a pair of USB ports, the keyboard has jacks for your headphones and microphone to accommodate all your trash talking. The 7G goes on sale today for $150. At least it's supposed to… SteelSeries site says it's sold out, so you'll have to look elsewhere for your badass board.
