SteelSeries Apex 7 TKL - Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - OLED Display - Red Switches - American (QWERTY) Layout

Fantastic keyboard really responsive and the noise the keys make is satisfying highly recommended.

Almost perfect.What I like:-switches: buttery smooth, quiet, with adjustable actuation.-price: very good value, especially on sale.-keycaps: nicely textured and seem durable-media scroll wheel: very useful and can be pressed for extra functionality.-detachable cable: always nice to see, especially on the left side (my preference, more space for the mouse)what could be improved:-software: Found it complicated and had issues setting it up the way I wanted. I was told this is because my device isn't fully compatible (even though it said it would be). For example I wasn't able to set multiple RGB profiles and couldn't set a mic mute button to the extra media switches.-build quality: its good enough, but I would prefer to see a metal base and a more durable cable port.9/10 overall.Would recommend.

One of the best keyboards I have had in a long time. I prefer the full sized keyboards and it feels solid to type on. The RGB is a nice touch on it with the light shining through the keys for making typing in the dark easier if necessary. The onboard usb comes in very handy for plugging in memory sticks if I'm too lazy to go under the desk.

Got this keyboard for my brother, who treats competitive gaming like an Olympic sport—and it passed his test with flying RGB colours. The keys have that perfect click-clack that sounds like victory, and the lighting makes his whole setup look like a spaceship ready for launch. He plugged it in, grinned like a kid at Christmas, and hasn’t stopped fragging since. If it can keep up with his 10-hour gaming marathons, it’s a winner in my book.

The media could not be loaded. It is very easy for use and installing. Also the lites on it are nice. I got it for present on my husband. It good value for money, the size is normal, buttons functionality, sound quality

The keyboard does not work with USB switches. I did not know this before purchasing. It appears to be an issue with this models firmware.The keyboard will drop connection (RGB lights will flicker) followed by the keyboard becoming unresponsive when used with any USB switch, even when the switch is powered by a 5V power supply. The only way to regain functionality is unplugging and plugging it back in.Plugged directly into a PC there is absolutely no issue (hence the 4 stars), however it is dissapointing that the keyboard will not work with a USB switch as I was hoping to seamlessly switch between my Mac and PC therefore I have dropped a star.I will likely now sell the keyboard and invest in one that works with USB switches as I do not want multiple keyboards cluttering my workspace. A shame as the keyboard is excellent, but with poor firmware preventing USB switching it is not fit for purpose in my setup.

This keyboard is very simply and elegantly designed and paired with Steelseries' industry leading software, it's a breath of fresh air.The keyboard works out of the box for those who aren't interested in configuration. The LCD will display the Steelseries logo and can be used to adjust brightness, macros, profiles and settings without ever installing the software. The USB port on the backside of the board is convenient and designed slickly. The keyboard hand rest attaches magnetically, and the magnets are coupling seems like it will be durable in the long run. This is a clear advantage over other keyboards that attach mechanically, which fail in the long term.The software interfaces with different games, meaning that keys are automatically programmed to show different aspects of games. For MMOs, this means that the 1-9 keys can be selectively illuminated to show cooldown times. For FPSs, you can have a row of keys deplete with your ammo. The LCD display can also be configured to show essential information, such as round number, mission objective etc. Users can also draw their own graphic, or upload an image as they please.LED configuration is generous. Users can create custom formats using the intuitive tool, or make advantage of practical plugins (such as music equalizers which illuminate the keyboard accordingly). Additionally, users can also upload GIFs to the software to have them display across the keyboard.The board is a fantastic choice for the price. Cherry MX blue switches are still king!
