SteelSeries Apex 7 TKL RGB Keyboard

This keyboard is great if you use it properly, you cannot use the Keyboard part of the cable through a USB hub. the keyboard will not function… at all… if you plug in the keyboard through a USB hub it will not work. you may plug in the USB PASSTHROUGH through a USB hub but that’s it. if you absolutely need to use it though a hub you need to have another keyboard to get into your computer with. the keys will not work until you log in to the pc and let every driver load in and then “update the keyboard firmware” in the software. (steelseriesengine3) the keyboard will flash until that is done. if you plug in the keyboard directly to your pc everything will work fine 100% of the time. other than that, the lights look absolutely insane (good) the switches are fine (SteelSeries browns) but the only problem I have with them is that when you press one down you will feel the slight tactile bump but then you will need to press the key like 1/100000000000 of an inch more to get it to actuate. if you pretty much only ever type you wont REALLY feel a difference and if this is your first Mechanical keyboard you definitely won’t feel a difference but when your gaming and you don’t press the keys down all the way 80% of the time you’ll sometimes feel it. its not tooo big of a deal though. but if you absolutely couldn’t deal with that you could I guess swap the switches out (I think their hot swappable but I could be wrong) and maybe even treat your self to some holy panda’s or something along those lines.

but for a big summary, switches are decent, the wrist rest is nice but if you slam the top down the whole thing will go backwards, I have generally large hands from my experience (G502 mouse if a bit short in length for me in a claw grip) because I often find myself moving the wrist rest beck a little, OLED display is totally overkill but totally sick (on AMD processors the app “system monitor” doesn’t work for now but possible update coming) and stabilizers are nice, form factor is also nice.

Lo uso para PS5 y va super bien, se siente la diferencia con mi anterior teclado, sin duda lo vale 👍🏼

I have owned a Steelseries keyboard in the past and was greatly disappointed with the switches it used. I had a m750 with the qx2 switches, and they just felt off to me. Not really sure how to explain, but they just felt off. Im not generally a fan of linear switches ( as a gamer, blasphemy I know) as I tend to have a heavy hand and accidentally hold shift or ctrl by accident, which messes up my movement and gets me killed. Not only that but I feel I mess up more when typing essays for college and have to go back to revise more frequently. I needed a new keyboard that would allow more space for my mouse, as I play on a low dpi, and was looking at TKL models from various companies. Originally I was planning on the G Pro from Logitech to go with my G Pro Wireless, but then I realized they had Romer-G switches. I tested them out and found them alright, but lack of customization and after market keycaps was a turn off for me. The new Apex Pro TKL came out with their OmniPoint switches, which are linear switches that you could change the actuation point of to fit your preference. Again, I am not a fan of linear, so this disappointed me as the rest of the keyboard caught my attention. Luckily with the Apex 7 they allow you to choose your switches out of the 3 options they provide. I chose the browns as I wanted something fast but with some feedback. When it arrived 2 days later, I was impressed with the size and beauty of it. The nicest keyboard I owned so far. The switches feel nice, and there are a few features you won’t find on a some other TKL keyboards like the OLED display (mostly a gimmick but cool nonetheless), usb passthrough, cable routing, and dial. The magnetic wrist rest isn’t plush, more like a flat rubber surface to prop up your hand. That isn’t to say it’s not comfortable or soft, but it is a pain to clean as it is a dust magnet. They keycaps feel cheap and are my main gripe for a premium keyboard, however I Luckily had higher quality shine-through keycaps from previously. Overall I am satisfied with the keyboard and would recommend to anyone thinking of purchasing.

A very high quality product from steelseries. High quality and affordable. The keyboard Led back lighting is extremely bright and noticeable. Of course the led lighting can be dimmed. The customization of the keys are endless. The OLED screen is also very nice. Bright and highly customizable. The keys feel very nice, not too loud, very smooth, just all around amazing. The software (Steelseries GG) can be very clunky sometimes. But it is easy to use. Sometimes my custom illumination for my keys do not load up and I have to manually open up the software and select the content myself. Although a bit tedious at times but the keyboard doesn’t just shut off. It defaults to one of their amazing/beautiful presets that it comes with. I highly recommend this product. Especially for people just getting into computers. I love this keyboard to death and would buy it over hundreds of times.

Los switch son excelentes y se siente súper suaves, fluidos y excelente sonido. La pantalla es perfecta para estar monitoreando el sistema.
