SteelSeries Apex 7 TKL Compact Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – OLED Smart Display – USB Passthrough and Media Controls – Linear and Quiet – RGB Backlit (Red Switch)

its good

I bought this for my son. OMG, I freaking want one and dont even have a need for it! The colors and light patterns are mesmerizing. Its a compact size. Its got a good solid weight to it, but isnt heavy. You will love it!

So this is my first SteelSeries keyboard I have ever bought, and I have owned probably 20 different ones. I like it, it is overpriced for what it is. It doesnt use Cherry MX switches it uses SteelSeries own brand of mechanical switches which honestly I didnt care for too much. They didnt feel like browns at all, it barely had a bump. I returned this but it was decent to use. I like Cherry switches too much so ill stick with those.

Ive only had one other *real* gaming keyboard before this one and this one I like a lot better. Its easy to type on and its leds are bright. Also the OLED pannel is fun to play with. Overall, I dont think Ill be buying another keyboard in a while.

Perfect gift for those who want some color and light to their computer set up. The light colors are customizable and the keys are not as loud and annoying as other models. Bought this as a present and he loves it!

First off this is an excellent keyboard, the typing experience on it is great (if a bit loud, but thats what youre getting with blue switches like I did). Every piece of it just seems very high quality to me from the keys to the base and wrist-rest, its incredibly solid feeling and honestly the only feature that I could ask for is if it had a headphone-jack and detachable cord. I thought the software was very easy to use and didnt have any trouble setting it up. After using it for a bit however I question if the unique OLED in the corner was worth the price-premium, Ive found that while cool, I basically just dont use it.

for a few weeks usages, SteelSeries Apex 7 TKL is great (red switch). just want to let the next buyer know that if you buying the Red switch, you probably want to lube the switch because if you crazily press a certain key like me, the switch will starting to have loud spring noise, so lube the switch will help a lot on the pressing experience as well as the sound quality. Secondly, the cable is super thick, I looking forward to seeing the change with it.

I dont know how hard other people smash their keyboards after losing a match of fortnite but this thing is a dream. I replaced the caps with PBT for comfort since my fingies get a lil sweaty when im trying to wiggle away from a dragon in skyrim. otherwise, -not too loud -long term sustainability -the oled screen is fun to add user generated animations (mine is a cat running atm) -more mousepad space w out the number pad -audio controls are intuitive and work well Overall, I love the build quality and look of luxury you get. It isnt the cheapest keyboard nor is it the most expensive. It has a great weight to it and the RGB is crisp with endless color options. It has served well as someone with a lighter keystroke than king kong.

Within a year many keys on the left side of the keyboard began to fail intermittently. Steelseries would not honor any warranty repair or replacement despite the clear statement that the keys are guaranteed for 50 million keypresses.

The keyboard is awesome. Great size and functionality. The colors are great. I gave the keyboard four stars because SteelSeries does not offer Mac keycaps (buy them from a competitor) and the software frequently glitches so you cant actually change settings. Fortunately, once the color profiles and buttons are set the software isnt needed. When the software does decide to load, its awesome.
