the keys can produce a ringing sound when typing fast, but is not particularly noticeable if wearing headphones, and are not noticeably different from cherry keys which are what I have previously used (went from cherry brown to the steelseries brown switches). otherwise there is a lot of nice customization options in the Steelseries software which was nice for me since my last keyboard only had options for key brightness. the OLED screen is pretty cool (currently using it to display cpu and gpu temps) but the software it uses needs you to re-authorize them each time you log in to windows. I personally don't see a reason to buy any keyboard at this retail price (~190 euro) so would wait for a decent sale price before buying Read more

Overall this keyboard was fantastic, but it was let down by one flaw, which is such a shame! PROS: * Beautiful keyboard - the RGB is really understated, and the control software is highly configurable * The construction is very solid and feels extremely premium * The legends on the keycaps is very classy * Wrist rest is a fantastic addition and feels very nice CONS: * PINGING! This keyboard has an annoying ringing sound, especially when using the space bar, return key, tab/shift keys or other larger keys. During faster typing sessions the ringing reverberates through the keyboard as well, with a very annoying high pitched ringing sound that could not be ignored. It's so unfortunate because otherwise this would have been a perfect keyboard. As it stands, we had to send it back (after trying the Apex PRO as well, which suffered from the same issue). For gaming, where you'll almost certainly be wearing headphones, this would be a perfect product, but for productivity and at work, it's a no go unfortunately. Read more

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. Read more

Per me miglior tastiera gaming in circolazione. Buono il feed dei tasti. Read more

Sono veramente soddisfatto da questa tastiera. Vengo d una Roccat meccanica con switch rossi , ma questa è un altro livello , precisa , veloce , non rumorosa e completamente modulabile tramite il software. Super consigliata per chi come me ama gli sparatutto competitivi. Read more
