SteelSeries Apex 7 TKL Mechanical USB Gaming Keyboard

A big upgrade for me from my razor chroma. Keys are sensitive and responsive.

I liked every thing about this because it is so fast when playing games and even on Xbox and the rgb is really cool!

great lil keyboard, a little sensitive to me but thats just coming from a full size.

Great keyboard! I added rubber o-rings to dampen the clicks a little overall very happy with it!

My first attempt at a mechanical keyboard wasn't impressive. I liked all the features, rgb looked great, having a pass thru USB port is helpful. I wasn't used to the feel of the keys, but it wasn't bad and with a little time I'm sure it would have felt natural.What I couldn't get used to, and what was driving my wife who shares the home office mad, was the noise. Keys are far from silent and it just doesn't work in a shared space.

One of the two magnets that hold the wrist rest fell out after a week. Awfully expensive for it to fail so quickly.

I bought mine towards the end of 2020, I got the blue switch version. Ran great up and till a couple days ago and I am now having keys stop responding to presses. I did a factory reset, pulling the switch up a bit, etc. I have lost reliable key presses to my D key, ` key, and my - key on the 10 key. Really sad as I have loved this key board but from what I have looked around, no solution or even support on this issue other than returning the key board.I would of been giving a 5 star but knocked down to a very generous 3 for this problem that cropped up. A key board like this one should last many years longer than 1 and half years.So there is the warning on that.If you still want to know about the plus sides, with the engine this keyboard has some cool rgb effects and the little screen on the top right has been fun to rotate through different images. I like blue switches to make sure everyone knows I am typing and to annoy some others.Anyway, really sad that this keyboard just didn't live as long as my eclipse from back in the day and that one lasted for 10+ years and only died due to the cord on it getting snipped by a little child. On top of how SteelSeries arctic 7s have also lasted years. Don't want to move away from SteelSeries but with this keyboard having these problems and my rival 600 having the grip glue problems I am debating of finding a new ecosystem to have my peripherals in.

So the keyboard is nice it looks great and all but the key have already stopped working on it when ever i try to game my a and d key both stutter heavily and form other reviews im not the only one with this problem. The keys just die very quickly
