SteelSeries Apex 7 Detailed Review, MY CURRENT FAV KEYBOARD!

[@goofygumber5161]

Saw this 50%off in my local electronic webside, I ordered it at the second, then I read and watched reviews, and now, I don't regret anything. Edit: My keyboard arrived today, I'm loving it already

Black Minttu hey i was wondering about the rgb on it is it the same as the apex pro? i wanted the apex pro but because of the price and the fact that i never not press down all the way on the switch i might not get it but the rgb seems to be worth it

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.

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.

That was quite a review and I agree, they should have included PBT double-shot keycaps, but if they did, they could then justify tacked on a few more dollars to the MSRP. All in all, it's a nice keyboard, for it's price/features, minus the keycaps. Thanks.

Currently debating between the Apex 7 or the Huntsmen Elite for a setup upgrade for myself in hopefully the near future and I think you've sold the Apex 7 to me with this video lol, and it's currently retailing for £149.99 GBP so might have to snag it me thinks... great video!
