This keyboard has everything you want for gaming. Only 0.7ms input lag on rtings which is really good. The new optical switches are really consistent and I love how I can switch the actuation point depending on if I'm gaming or typing. The choice between 3 levels of elevation is also nice. For gaming, this is one of the best keyboards you can possibly get. I'm a high-mmr CSGO player and I can tell you this delivers. Your counter-strafing and ability to stop on a dime is amazing. This keyboard can take as many inputs at once as you can press and doesn't have cord splitting or other artifacts. It's true 1000hz polling too. You also have a good USB-C cord that's braided and detachable. You can also keep the tool under the keyboard if you travel to LANs or in general. It's perfect. You also have onboard memory and it's very easy to use the SteelSeries software to configure. It's easy to update firmware as well. The build quality is very good too. They used aluminum in the body and the higher quality PBT keycaps. Also, if anything breaks, you can easily replace the keycaps OR the switches themselves and SteelSeries actively sells replacement parts unlike Logitech for example who only sells switches and not keycaps. There's really nothing I can complain about. The only thing maybe is that some keyboards like the wooting have release triggered as soon as your key starts going back up. However the wooting has slightly more input lag on direct press and CSGO, Valorant, and most games honestly favor new inputs over releasing inputs anyway. Also some keyboards like the Corsair K65 have 8000hz polling rate which is insane. However with that being said, the 8000hz polling and early release triggering from those competitors really aren't a big deal and have their own downsides - especially the 8000hz polling because it can actually take up some more cpu usage so I don't think it's necessarily efficient at the sub 1ms level. Overall, I looked at all of the popular keyboards for gaming in this price range and this one was the best for the price for my setup. I didn't talk much about typing btw but I am a megaracer on typeracer.com and it feels very good to type on in the 1.5mm mode + 7deg incline. If you're looking for a gaming keyboard, look no further, this has literally everything with no downsides.

This keyboard is one of the best mechanical keyboards I have ever owned, and I have owned quite a few. The keys are tactile, sound nice, and are high quality. I can easily use with this with my Mac and PC. It's easy to change the colors and features with the steelseries software for the keyboard. I use this every day and the only thing I regret is not getting the one with the 10 keys on the right side since I also use this keyboard for work in addition to gaming. If you dont need it for work and dont really care about the 10 keys, this is the best keyboard you can get at this price point.

I like this keyboard a lot. I play various FPS, MMORPG, and other games. It's super responsive, doesn't take up too much desk space, and it's customizable. The only downside is the keys ares little click clacky but maybe I am a little heavy handed from previous keyboard usage lol. You really don't need to click this keys down all the way. Highly recommend!

had a hyperx origins 60%, this ones clearly better and faster as the actuation point is 1.0mm instead of the 1.8mm on the hyperx. it is very light and surprisingly very nice for the money. you cant actually change the actuation point except from switching from gaming (1.0mm) to “writing?” (1.5mm) looks very nice with its full just black color, i am having problems with the rgb randomly turning on even though i fully turned it off. i did already end up ordering some white keycaps off of aliexpress so ill add a pic after i actually put them on.

Build quality is solid, but I do have a few complaints: I'm not sure if it is just an issue with me or not, but after extended use I get quite a bit of pain in my fingers. To mitigate this, I use the setting that requires less key travel, and while this helps a little bit, it is still a big problem for me. Also, using the shorter-travel setting leads to a lot more typos for me, as I am not a particularly good typist. I think I must be bottoming out the keys, and would have been better off with tactile switches, but at the time I made the purchase, only linear was available. Because of this, for me, it just isn't a good KB, despite the obvious quality. This KB is an 84-key TKL, not an 87-key. Not a big deal since pause and scroll lock are rarely of use, but I was a bit annoyed to find a steelseries logo instead of a print screen key. They don't claim it to be 87, and it isn't too hard to assign a macro though, so this is just a minor quibble.

The Apex 9 TKL is seriously fast, almost too fast at times. The optical switches are super responsive, so your key presses register almost instantly. It’s great for quick reactions in gaming, but sometimes it’s a bit too sensitive. You might find yourself accidentally pressing keys you didn’t mean to hit, which can throw you off doing certain stuff. It’s awesome for shooters and games where speed matters, but doing daily stuff may not be the best for this keyboard personally I'm using it right now to type this and as it is fast and everything you also make a lot of typos. This is still a very good choice if you are into competitive gaming or gaming in general.
