Title: Better color on new 6gv2 keycaps
Post by: neverdayz on Thu, 07 April 2011, 14:31:23

I bought a new Steelseries 7G some time ago and the white color started to fade right away (no I'm not scratching them with my nails). However I must say that I was very happy with the keyboard.
So I decided to buy a 6Gv2 too and noticed that the color seems to be of better quality. The font is a little bit different, it has Norwegian and Danish symbols, not just Swedish like the 7G i first bought.

Yeah, there have been some reports of changes in lettering. Improvements in quality are always welcome, particularly when they were needed...

I have now used my 6Gv2 a couple of days and the lettering, on some of the keycaps, already looks darker. So it really wasn't  that much of a improvement.

I will now switch to blank keycaps.
