anyone know which SS headset and mic can be connected to ps3?

The Siberia V2 for PS3: http://steelseries.com/products/consoles/s...eria-v2-for-ps3

7G's Black switches are good for gaming. You can depress them faster than the Blue ones. But Brown are still one of the best if you ask me.

You should try the Xai. Ambi as it may be, it feels almost as comfortable as the Ikari.

Mhmm? I thought heavier = harder to press? gaming = fast movement = tactile kbs?
never tested brown and red before. Brown is a combination of Black and Blue?

if only there is a OEM Xai if not it's a little bit too expensive.
Seriously, I like Ikari's shape. now I feel weird using my TT Black, too ambi-ish, neither my friends DA.

the thing i like the most about xai is its button feel and the weight..

sadly to say my xai surface have start to peel off..

The slight increase in the actuation weight isn't going to be much of a difference. In fact, it helps prevent accidental key presses and the bump which you get from the MX Blue is totally unnecessary for gaming. And yeah, the Brown switches as found on the ZOWIE Celeritas are perhaps the middle ground for both gaming and typing.

How long have you had it?

if my memory serve me right, think it might not even a year..

Maybe too much usage or sweat damage.

i think more to sweat damage..

Are they any difference in performance between Siberia soundcard / 7H soundcard / 5hv2 soundcard ?

I'm pretty sure Blue switches are better for gaming. I tried the SS 7G before and its terrible compared to the BW. I mean seriously bad. 15g of actuation force is a considerable amount really.

I'm using 6GV2 which is a black switch. Well I tested the BW before and noticed how the key actually bounced back faster than black switches. It has that plasticy feel which I don't find comfortable compared to the 6gv2.

One question, been using the 6gv2 for 3 days now and I noticed the colors are fading slowly. Is this normal? The white wording turned black already , especially the WASD buttons D:

Totally normal. Sweat just comes and dirties your keys.

And regarding the actuation force, I kept making a lot of accidental key presses with it because I'm too used to resting my fingers on the keys when idle.

like that the keys will fade thus leaving it as a blank button? any solutions?

It won't fade. It just looks.... dirty yellow/brown.

When it's new it won't fade completely, just looks a bit dull (like playing with the transparency effect in Photoshop). But when it ages, then it might just fade even more due to sweat and other causes.

thats why my WASD keys are now like this
its a temp fix, but still doesnt help the other keys around WASD that i use alot in FPS also...
my caps lock, left shift and left ctrl has gotten darker since that pic...





anyway, the keys all personal choices...but in general im sure most ppl for FPS will still prefer blacks.

Mhmm, I feel that Blue switches are close to those old school typewriter's touch. The 'coverless' 4 arrow keys on BW keyboards can't even poison me to get one.

Never felt Black switches, neither Brown switches before wait, SS ada showcase any time soon? mebbe I can go meddle with 7G.
