Haven't had anything SteelSeries and read some awesome reviews on their products.. will love to take something of theirs for a "spin"
 
I enter every keyboard competition on this forum. I really need a new one. Both LShift and W aren't very reliable anymore. Though I haven't used SteelSeries, my impression of their quality is quite good.
 
Bought a USB Ideazon ZBoard back in the day when it was first released (pre-Steelseries branding) still using it today and works perfectly.
 
Only keyboard I've ever owned are the ones that came with my pc's, you know, those R100 Microsoft/mecer types? =P

I have been operating a Microsoft Multimedia keyboard (Still PS/2!!!) for the last 8 years. It wasn't R100, more like R500 back then.
 
Would be nice to have a keyboard that can handle a couple of angry punches from the gamers every now and then;)
 
My current MS keyboard has vintage appeal, what a winner. Too bad the shift key sticks every now and again. Heard good things about Steelseries, was actually looking at their Kinzu mouse last week; my old Razer copperhead looks damn fugly now.
 
Steelseries are the only products I will buy when it comes to gaming peripherals best quality and performance out there.

On a side note, Everyone saying that they are stuck on PS/2 keyboards... this is what Steelseries has to say about it:

"We absolutely recommend using the PS/2 connector when possible. First,it will give you total freedom with no limit to the amount of simultaneous key presses. And, equally as important, using the PS/2 may just improve your overall gaming experience. The reason is that when you use a USB keyboard your computer is actually using CPU time polling your keyboard. The higher the polling rate the more CPU time is used to perform the polling. And because of the built-in debounce rate found on any quality keyboard, any polling rate above 200Hz is simply a waste of CPU time and really just a result of pointless marketing hype. Unlike USB keyboards a PS/2 keyboard isn’t polled at all. The keyboard simply sends a signal to the computer as key presses are made, which causes a hardware interrupt, forcing the CPU to register the signal."
