Greater than one weekPerfect mechanical keybord but got few soures of light, that can not be regualted. First is USB Pass Through that is a little projector, that can not be turned by program way, the only way to turn it off is to plug out it from PC USB pass through connection. Second source is multimedia button that can not be turned off any way at all. In my case it was very important to turn off all led with working pc sometimes, and that is this keybord just can not do at all.

20-11-2024First off, this was the first mechanical keyboard that I have ever owned. I am very pleased and happy with this purchase. I chose the brown switches because Ive heard that theyre good for typing and gaming overall. The rgb is consistent and you are able to change it with the steelseries software. The oled display is a cool feature to have. Overall, 10/10

> 3 dayGot this back in 2019 and if I told you the amount of abuse this has been through, youd be shocked to see that this beast is still in nice shape. Sturdy is definitely the word Id use to describe the build quality, the case seems to be a hard plastic but isnt a cheap type of feel. This keyboard has some weight to it to let you know it isnt playing around. I cant think of how many times I raged and with my fist raised all the way up to the sky, punched down as hard as I could over and over until my hand hurt, keyboard still intact. RGB works great and the software lets you change the effect and color of each individual key if needed. Has buttons to change brightness of the LEDs from the keyboard itself. Favorite part of the keyboard is the media keys, a scroll wheel that lets you turn the volume up or down as well as mute and another button beside it to completely pause whatever is playing. A little extra is the screen in the corner where you can display pretty much anything you want and I think certain games have popups available to display stats if youre into that. For a non custom generic gaming keyboard out of all the top brands like ASUS and CORSAIR, steelseries definitely should be up there for a keyboard that does what it needs to, looks great and is built to last for years (and take abuse... Apex did it I swear).

> 3 dayfor 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.

> 3 dayWhen I first got this keyboard, I absolutely loved it. Its very nice-looking and bright, and theres a million ways you can customize the coloring and lighting. The key presses also felt very smooth and typing on it was a real joy. Unfortunately, after about 5-6 months of use, I started having problems with multiple keys. It started with my Ctrl and Shift keys not registering all the time, which is very frustrating when you try to Ctrl-s to save something and end up with s characters in your document or code. Now I have several letter keys that do not always register, and my r and u key are now chattering/double-tapping. This has become a massive productivity-killer, as I have to correct almost every third or fourth word that I type. I have tried a full factory reset and re-installation of the keyboards software, and have tried pulling up the keycaps of individual keys and pulling junk out and air-dusting around the switches, and nothing has worked. I really wanted to like this keyboard, but this has become extremely frustrating. I would expect better quality and/or durability from a $100 + keyboard.
