Maximum PC run over SteelSeries 7G with a truck
« on: Sat, 29 January 2011, 13:36:46 »
"We've been thinking a lot about keyboards around here lately (SPOILER ALERT: We're working on a keyboard roundup for the April issue of Maximum PC) and one board that just keeps coming up is the SteelSeries 7G--not because it's a great keyboard (although it is) but because it would make a great weapon. Or a building foundation. Or siding for a humvee.

The thing is sturdy, we're trying to say.

But just how sturdy is a question of some inter-office debate. So, to settle things once and for all, we decided to see just what it would take to break a 7G. We started out with your basic punch/kick/stomp test."



You can read more about it here (with pics and all). lol

I bet Ripster has some terrible disfiguring scar. Or really bad acne. Or maybe just three chins.

My Steelseries 7G broke up after 30 days of use, and I didn't even ran over it with a truck.

I wonder what it would take to kill one of my Cortron keyboards. Maybe a tactical nuke?

I've had mine for a while now and it's a solid bit of kit. Especially considering the hammering I give it on a daily basis.
