Title: Premium experience but not perfect
Review: With brown switches:Pros:~Immensely customizable RGB experience like no other.~Compact design but still has the essential manual volume control.~Macro/RGB/illumination software highly intuitive~Heavy and solid~Very plush design and lovely wrist support~The display is fully customized with each profile, along with the RGB settings e.g. you can upload gifs and images from dedicated websites for this. You can swap between led/screen profiles with a hotkey.Cons:~Very thick cable may annoy some users although there is an under-keyboard tidy to select left/centre/right exit for cable.~Requires 2 USB ports if using the USB passthrough (one for keys/lighting and one for UBS passthrough port (Usb3.1)).~Some audible ping from all keys after pressing which is somewhat annoying (o-rings have lowered bottoming out sound but the ‘ping’ is a separate sound)~If you are moving from a membrane keyboard to this it is significantly louder i.e. I have to be conscious about not waking up people who are sleeping in another room. I certainly can’t use it as I want to This is with the o-rings fitted to all keys. This is a big downside for me.Purchased as “used – like new” but greesy and used. Got 10% refund to keep.

Title: Excellent choice for enthusiasts. Brilliant accompanying software.
Review: 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!

Title: Fantastic Keyboard
Review: I bought this to replace a very ancient and dying Logitech wireless keyboard which I loved, but which deserved a decent burial after many years’ service. I work for 8-10 hours a day as a transcriptionist, and play games in my spare time, so needed something that was going to stand up to an awful lot of abuse. And even having had it only a couple of days, I think this will be it. The Apex 7 is solid and sturdy, and the feel of the mechanical keys is a revelation after the membrane design of the previous ones. It is simply so much more comfortable. Although there is unavoidably quite a lot more “clatter” from the keys with a mechanical one, the Brown switches themselves are quiet and do not “click” on actuation, so it’s a good compromise. I’m learning to “feel” the actuation point, which is resulting in me gradually adopting a much lighter touch on the keyboard than I had before – which can only be a good thing.Added functions: for me the RGB light effects were less important than function in choosing this one, but now that the board is here and in use I find I quite like them. I work evenings, and it gives me the option to work with a lower ambient light level if I feel like it, which is sometimes quite nice. The OLED display may be useful for some, but for me it really is just a gimmick. It doesn’t work with the main game I play, so I’ve set it to a static image and left it that way. I haven’t had cause to use the USB passthrough as I already have a USB hub on my desk so there’s no need, so I can’t comment on it. The volume roller is excellent for me, as a transcriptionist I am constantly adjusting volume up and down, and this is considerably easier than having to access the volume settings on the PC each time, or even using the push buttons on the old keyboard. This gives immediate, precise fingertip control, which is perfect.Overwhelmingly I’m delighted with this keyboard, and would recommend it wholeheartedly.

Review: Smooth, Quiet and Comfortable Typing Experience. I mainly bought for Programming and I am using on my Linux, and yes there are rare mistouches but not beyond laptop mistouches. I have Hyperx Alloy Origins Blue Switch and Razer Blackwidow V3 65% Hyperspeed Green Switch keyboards. This is the best out of those 2 and it’s worthy purchase if you get between 7000 – 7999. I purchased at 7600 after bank discount.
