  • Great Keyboard and Great Features!
Size: Apex 5 Style: Hybrid Blue – Tactile & Clicky
This keyboard is probably the best one I've ever had. It is built so well. It is made mostly of some sort of aluminum. It does not bend at all and it just feels very nice. I have had a keyboard that was so cheap that it bent even when I was typing normally (I don't type very hard), so this was a nice change. The metal volume dial is very high quality, and yet again, just feels well-built. There is also a little button that controls 4 things. It will pause and play your music, skip to the next song, go to the previous song, and open up menus in the OLED display. The OLED screen is very nice. It could be a little brighter, and the larger pixels make it harder to display certain things. But, what makes up for that is that with the program you can install, you can download apps that will change what the screen says. My 2 favorites are Discord and System Monitor. They RGB lighting is really nice. Each light can be its own color and with the program, you can make your own lighting configurations. The keys sound very nice. They are clicky, but too clicky. They are also easy to press, but not so easy that I could see myself accidentally pressing one. It also comes with a wrist rest. It magnetically attaches and feels very smooth and high quality. Overall this keyboard just feels very premium and super high quality. I would recommend it to someone who wants a good keyboard with some very nice features from a good brand and does not mind spending the premium cost. ... show more

  • Outstanding, with a possible caveat
Size: Apex 5 Style: Hybrid Blue – Tactile & Clicky
Five months into owning this keyboard and it's easily my favorite keyboard I've ever had. Reasonably heavy so it easily stays in place even banging out page after page of typing documents, but doesn't feel like a slab of lead. The entire assembly is well put together; the keyboard has a nice, satin texture across the body and the keys, which feels great under the fingers, though it does show some oils more easily so I recommend regular cleaning/wipedowns. This keyboard uses an odd hybrid system between mechanical/membrane, some proprietary/trade secret Steelseries BS, though honestly, if this wasn't pointed out to me after the fact I probably wouldn't have caught on. This uses cherry stems and switches, and the keys are naturally a cherry profile, so finding aftermarket replacements/decorative keycaps is easy as well. The keys feel responsive and clicky, delightfully so, when gaming or typing for general purpose. But there's a catch; it's a hybrid, so not truly mechanical. It does feel very good, but I have concerns that the membrane will wear down in time as opposed to a true blue mechanical keyboard, which will stay responsive and snappy for a lesser eternity where membranes begin to show wear after a year of heavy use. Time will tell. The lighting is phenomenal - the LEDs are bright, responsive, and have great color depth and range compared to a lot of RGB hardware out there. You can use Steelseries' own software to customize and program this keyboard outside of the 5 existing presets saved onto the board's memory, but you can also use other third-party RGB control software like SignalRGB. All in, it's a quality keyboard for a great price; one wire connects everything, you have a stop/start button, a wheel for volume, and a built in profile-swap button, which is entirely unnecessary but quite nice. ... show more

  • Best mid-range keyboard for gaming
Size: Apex 5 Style: Hybrid Blue – Tactile & Clicky
The Apex 5 Hybrid keyboard is an amazing choice for those looking to put together a decent gaming setup or a much needed needed upgrade from a cheaper membrane keyboard. While this is NOT a mechanical keyboard, the tactile feel and responsiveness of the keys is incredible and will definitely give you that mechanical feel without shelling out the extra $50-$100 or more to get an actual mechanical keyboard. The Apex 5 also has very nice rgb lighting, with multiple presets and tons of options to make your keyboard glow in any way you please (or not glow at all, if that's your thing). There's also a multimedia button, a volume wheel and a tiny LCD display that can display images, gifs and can even be used to monitor the status of your hardware in real time, plus much more. Finally, this keyboard is a dream to type and game with. All of the keys are on an angle, which feels so natural to rests your fingers on. It also comes with a pretty sturdy set of feet to raise the keyboard, and it feels wonderful in combination with the detachable wristbar. Even as someone who is less experienced with pc gaming I have no issue reaching any of the keys without comfort while playing games (That's a pretty big deal for me, since on most average keyboards the ctrl button is just a bit too far away and is uncomfortable to press, especially in first person games where crouch is assigned to it) Overall, the Apex 5 is a great keyboard and delivers on everything it promises. At it's current price there really isn't much other keyboards that can compete with this one. If you're looking to do some serious gaming and want a good all around keyboard that will be up to the task, the Apex 5 has you covered. ... show more

  • Love this keyboard! Quality, colorful, fun!
Size: Apex 5 Style: Hybrid Blue – Tactile & Clicky
The media could not be loaded. Been using a cheap Amazon keyboard for awhile. It hurt my wrists, didn’t feel great, not exciting, decided it was time for an upgrade. I use this keyboard for work, 10-15hrs per day. The wrist support is fantastic, the shape of this keyboard prevents fatigue and aches. The colors are so vibrant, the multiple custom pattern choices and reactive keys are fantastic. The OLED display is so much fun, make me feel like a kid. The app allows you to customize the entire thing from patterns to reactive keys and OLED etc. the app is very easy to use, customization is endless. The keys feel very quality and smooth, the clicks are satisfying though a bit loud. But overall very quality keyboard that’s entertaining, comfortable and satisfying, highly recommend. ... show more
