The Steelseries Shift almost gave us a headache (in a good way), simply because of the vast options and customizations available with it. The interchangeable keysets really put this board in a class of its own. Having the macros keep track of time del...
The level of customization that the SteelSeries Shift offers is simply astonishing. The keysets do a great job of feng shui-ing the board layout, but can be a little touchy at times to install. The software has no problem keeping up with you, and provi...
Steelseries might have produced a feature-rich keyboard that's catered for a very niche market … slightly out of reach to a lot of ordinary gamers. But having said that, I believe the Steelries SHIFT is one hell of a gaming keyboard. It's totally progra...
So how is the Shift in action? As someone who isn't the most amazing StarCraft II player ever I found it heightened my game tremendously. The labelling of each key and colour-coding, alongside the extra keys on the right hand side made everything very ...

The SteelSeries Shift MMO Keyset is a great idea, though, the housing is lackluster. ...

The SteelSeries Shift keyboard is a good choice for the multi-genre gamer, but you may find that your wrists may suffer in the long term. Buy it now...
