7G is using Cherry's Golden Crosspoint Switches. I don't know, if 6G does as well. Nontheless 7G is very expensive because of those switches, too expensive, but so they guarantee durability ;) And well... none of the Razer keyboards use something (even) similar.

uhm...did u even read a few reviews on the 7g?
They use gold in their keyboards what makes it so expensive.
9/10 reviews it gets a score of 8 and lower, coz its no better then a ordinary keyboard that costs 10 euro. The Travel time is normal, its not super fast or anything. And the typing feels weird according to the most reviews and its absolutly not worth 120 euros.
And the razer keyboards, too expensive aswell. Only good thing about it, its the 1000ms response time and the anti-ghosting shizzle. Both keyboards(lycosa/tarantula) are overpriced/overrated.
Thats why im using a 10 euro keyboard, wich does the same as the 120 euro keyboards :)

Yes, I know. I just meant, if you buy a Cherry with MX system, you'll pay half the price or so. Do you know, why it's feeling weird? It's because it is a mechanical keyboard. From what I know such keyboards have greater durability. Be sure Eko, even with the used gold in it, it's never worth € 120. Btw, got a 20-€-Cherry-KB because it has some internet/media keys. Last thing. If someone would ask me which one I'd take, I'd say 7G just because of its standard design. You know.. No lights, no extra keys and so on, but I wouldn't buy one because, as you said, it doesn't do more than a basical keyboard.

I believe they still play with the keyboards, mice and pads. They will use the SteelSeries headsets.

I hope they return to Razer in later years or void the agreement. Razer shouldn't ever pass up having fnatic under their wing! SS FAILS IMO ^^

should have stuck with razer and everglide
if they honestly start using steelseries MICE that would be a joke. I also dont want to see the fnatic pad discontinued either.
