Hopefully this is the right place to post, as it is hardware related.

So yesterday, I was browsing around SteelSeries' website, and I noticed that their Dota 2 surface was back in stock. (http://shop.steelseries.com/us/surfa...2-edition.html) So I was going around and getting ready to purchase that plus a Sensei, and for some reason my purchase was declined and was told to contact customer service. Being that I thought I maybe let the purchase time out, I ignored it and put off the purchase until later.

So 12 AM today (12/24/2012), I checked my PayPal to see if I got any money from anyone (I was waiting for a refund), and sure enough I had money, but it wasn't from the person I wanted, it was from SteelSeries.

No where on there does it mention me buying anything from SteelSeries, and it says within the transaction they sent me that it was a refund towards a failed purchase. Being legal age in Canada plus the fact my PayPal had every inch of information about me, I couldn't hold on to the money or blow it on something else, I was psyched to fuck. I instantly got communication with Steelseries support, told them this error, and simply enough all I had to do was click a "refund" link, and send them the money back.

So they own the money, and my PayPal balance is 0$ again; thank god. I went ahead and got a proper purchase of my Mouse Surface + Mouse. Right after I checked my e-mail and my PayPal to make sure the purchase went through properly well because it's scary holding on to a huge corporations money. Instead I found this in my inbox.

Sometimes doing good things can reward you.

Now I already purchased my things from them, what else should I get? If I should get anything... Or should I decline the offer?

Get a 6Gv2 or 7G keyboard. Also yea, that's awesome, SteelSeries is really good to their costumers in my experience.

[EG] Pepper · 24th February 2012

The most expensive thing they sell

**Shadaez** · 24th February 2012

You could get yourself one of their mechanical keyboards, probably the best thing they sell.

no get this http://steelseries.com/us/products/o...steering-wheel and send me it

Edited:

lmao loosk awful

Weltmeister · 24th February 2012

Yea it's such a shame that product. Who'd want to sit there with an awesome steering wheel but no pedals? D:

6Gv2 or 7G.

**meppers** · 25th February 2012

just get the 7g

you can take the palm rest off and it becomes a slightly better 6gv2 if you find the 7g too big

I did get the 7G, well hopefully I will. Other wise I will get a 6gv2.

i got a steel series siberia headband for free

pretty much one of the worst microphones and headphones i've ever used and it costs $100

I bought a Siberia V2 a few weeks ago, and it's the best headset I've had so far. Mic is crystal clear (unlike my last headset, which sounded like somebody rubbing a balloon against their hair), so I'm happy.

**SEKCobra** · 25th February 2012

Get a mechanical keyboard and be glad they rewarded you for doing the right thing, others wouldn't even offer you a coupon that they poop out to people who like their FP page.

Or you could get some HTF600's and a Modmic and save some money AND get (much) better sound quality AND have a mic which you can attach to any headphones you might get in the future.

To be honest, I've tried a few headsets with better sound quality, and I've not noticed a difference while playing vidya and listening to my music (which is pretty low quality so...)

Nah, I'm happy with this headset, plus I got it for cheap.

**The First 11'er** · 25th February 2012

That's so sweet.

If those are the best headphones you've ever owned I feel sorry for you.

Steelseries makes some pretty amazing products but they aren't really recognizable as being the best in audio, which makes sense because it isn't their focus.

Get a 7g keyboard, they're amazing. I'd love to have one myself

**BackSapper** · 27th February 2012

Confirmation of getting the keyboard.
I'm not sure if my body is ready.

If your body isn't ready I'll be happy to take it off your hands.

**Second-gear-of-mgear** · 27th February 2012

I tried to buy something from Antec, they took four dollars and didn't let me buy the item. I emailed them, no response.

Look what came in the mail today!

I'm typing with it right now, and HOLY SHIT it feels so nice, but it is so different too compared to the HP shit stain I used to have.

:D

maxolina · 6th March 2012

Take the wrist rest off. It feels much nicer without... It's not even an ergonomic one, it's just a square made of plastic to make the keyboard cost 60$ more

Weltmeister · 6th March 2012

Thanks for the address I'm going to go over there and steal it now, nick

also clean up the place before i get there holy shit man

**Bonzai11** · 6th March 2012

Why would you order that over some HTF-600's with a Zalman clip-on?

For the mixer/soundcard.
I already have an ATH-m50 and the Zalman clip-on mic. Also my v1 is insanely comfortable and the v2 is supposed to be even better.

I also won a $50 last night for simply jumping into a lake and standing on a massive fountain fixture, and I will be giving my sister my v1 pair.

You realise that they will sound poopy after your M50's, right?

They're not the best headphones but they're not bad. I had a pair when they were still called Icemat and they were pretty good.
