[@gabepvpz]

I just got the Apex Pro yesterday and I love it. The omni point mechanical switches are even smoother then the apex 7 that my friend has and the apex pro has actuation control so I can push it down very lightly and it will activate way faster then other keyboards. Nice video man!

[@TheTechne]

awesome! I was looking into the pro, but 180$ shewww, and I would never be satisfied with a key setting, lol, I would always be changing it up, lol.

[@zazaonwow]

You should do a review on the Apex Pro, not a lot of people have.

[@gurkanozkan8345]

How

[@Alex-gp5xl]

Don't feel it's worth, it's an extra 50 dollars for switches that are only on the main keys you use, but the switches aren't even on the arrow keys

[@nou4765]

Doesn't the Apex 7 also have the omni point mechanical switches? But I think they are only accesible by the software I'm thinking about getting this or wait for the Apex Pro Nordic Layout.

[@cameronmcintosh7755]

Really? Why tho?

[@evand5419]

Cameron Mcintosh the switches have a lot of problems . Lots of pinging and trying to lubricate it would ruin the keyboard, so it’s either get s new apex Pro TKL or downgrade 😩

I've been watching some of your videos recently and im gonna go ahead and subscribe! I was looking at this keyboard in a store and I think it's the perfect one for me.

[@carbonunit5150]

I ditched SteelSeries peripherals a year or so ago simply because there is no "Turn off RGB after..." setting in the software. I've looked at video after video and no one shows that (and I understand why), and I've even asked SteelSeries and they don't seem to know either...or they answer with something about a wireless mouse timeout. I just want ALL my RGB devices to go off after a time I choose (like Razer units) So...do you know? Thank you for your time either way and for the review.

[@baljeet4676]

This man gave such a good review and covered this keyboard perfectly good video and keep it up!!

[@evellist6397]

I am using the steelseries mechinal keyboard right now, and I have no regrets on buying this and it's a good keyboard for gaming and typing a essay depending on which stuff you use it for. But overall it's a good keyboard for anyone age.

[@gunnergoose6147]

Man keep up the work you’re doing really well I actually bought this keyboard because of you

[@mynameisdrpat]

just got this. the keys rattle so much it makes no sense. it is like driving a real old beetle car where there are nothing besides metal and doors sound like they will fall off anytime. how did this get pass production...

[@vobruh]

I really enjoyed watching This Video and It really helped me alot cuz i was thinking of getting a new keyboard Like I couldn't decide whether I'll get a Ducky or This steelseries Keyboard but because of your video, I'm Sure I'll buy the Steelseries Apex 7 probably with Brown switches (Like It when it's Not that clicky xD). Also I really noticed your joy/Attitude during the video, that was a pleasure too me as well cuz I was like happy too but anyways Thanks a lot man.

[@TheTechne]

thank you for the kind words. yeah the Apex 7 is really really nice, and with the HyperX key caps, even better (see community post for pic) I haven't used a ducky, but it really seems like there is more hype/trend than anything with them.

[@AndyAndHisHomies]

I just got this keyboard, and hands down it's like having 5 keyboards at once. I can change the profiles to whatever game I want with whatever specific actuation, but one thing I feel you failed to mention is that you can actually upload gifs to the OLED Screen, and even a different gif to each different profile. Another totally useless but SOOOOO WORTH IT bonus feature.

[@supernatural758]

Do all of the HyperX keycaps fit the Steelseries Apex 7 perfectly cuz I heard the spacebar sometimes doesn't fit correctly

[@TheTechne]

correct I have also had space bar issues on multiple keyboards. but that goes with many styles of caps. and yes on the apex the space bar it to deep

Most of people like new technology but I think that oled screen just like the touchbar of macbook pro, useless. So, how to get "Print Screen/SysRq", "Scroll Lock", "Pause/Break" on this TKL keyboard?

[@TheTechne]

I agree, it's just fun new tech but pointless fluff. >>right above direction arrows.

[@ssb794]

I was mainly wondering about the argb and I got to say that is VERY COSTOMISEBEL 👍👍

[@charliedoubleyoy]

my keyboard broke yesterday and needed one and at my local store this was the only TKL keyboard which was cheap and surprisingly it is absolutely incredible quality for the price compared to the $200 razer keyboards

[@kystars]

can someone explain to me about these switches? I have heard unless you really are a hardcore gamer, you don't need them. my current keyboard by CORSAIR came with 4 of them. but to me, i just didn't know really why to use them. do i play games? yes , but mostly single player games, and not hardcore. I played battlefield 2 back in the day a lot. I have an idea about the switches, but still its a little foggy to me.

[@javi.1x]

I have the huntsman mini should I exchange it for the apex 7?

[@takperlutahu6340]

Steelseries Apex 7 or Hyperx Elite Alloy 2? Help me decide 😭

are you able to program the rgb in a key individually? like you can with razer, like have any particular key be any color/effect i want? or can you only use the solid colors/presets they have?

you could on the 750, it wasn't implemented on this board yet, but they keep updating it adding more features.
