Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall a good solid quality keyboard for the money, but the software is incredibly irritating and difficult to set up and counterintuitive almost like they did it on purpose it's so bad. I do love the keyboard though I really hope they fix the software

I got this keyboard because I wanted to have a better typing experience without breaking the bank, but the keyboard switches are not truly mechanical. I often have a letter type without the clicky blue switches actually clicking. Overall I like it and it has good build quality too

Great switches not too loud or too quiet. Built good and strong and still using so far .

I tried a couple of other keyboards. I had to bring one of them back. I opted to try this keyboard, and it's been great.

Please keep in mind that this review is only meant for Mac users and Mac compatibility is clearly stated as supported on the box (see photo). Before using the product, I immediately updated the software/firmware with the newest versions. This process was very easy and took only minutes to complete. That’s where the good news ends. The default key bindings are a mess. For instance, ALT is mapped to the Windows key and many of the function keys (as well as others) are also completely incorrect. It seems the key mapping was either defective upon unboxing, or after the updates (or both), but I am not quite sure because I did not use it until after the updates were completed. To be clear, custom key mapping in the provided software was also of no help to me in my situation. After a week's worth of going back and forth with tech support, re-installing the software, factory refreshing and re-updating the keyboard, there was ultimately no solution, therefore rendering the keyboard useless. I cannot comment on any of the other features of this keyboard since the key mapping issues were never solved with tech support and the keyboard never had a chance to be properly used. While the build quality and aesthetic both seem good, I cannot recommend this to any Mac user.

The feel of the keys is great, although the sound is a little loud, it is not at a level that will disturb the players, it is great

Fantastic mechanical keyboard! I've been having a great time using this keyboard and digging the blue switches. It sounds great! If you don't like loud clicky keys, this may not be for you but I absolutely love using it. Also being able to customize the rgb is also a plus!

Honestly love this keyboard. It is so responsive and the RGB lighting has so many customization options as well. The sounds from the hybrid mechanical keyboard is on the noticeable side, but if that is not an issue for you. I say that this is seriously a highly recommended must buy.

Works great for work and gaming. Nice sound and nice feel while typing. Have only used it for around a week so far but it has been solid so far. RGB working great with my Macbook Pro so far but I haven't tried to program any keys yet.

This. Keyboard. Is. Amazing. It feels so good. I was very hesitant about the switch choice but out of all the options I had to choose from the Apex 5 had everything I needed (10-key, tactile feel), as well as some things I wanted (RGB, tactile feel), and a couple of surprises as well (macros, tactile feel), and I am more than pleased with this keyboard. Like. Twice as pleased. Thrice as pleased. Several times as pleased. It's just so lovely. Each key makes such a nice sound and has such a great feel once depressed and released. I spent a good long time just playing around with the settings in the app and experimenting with the RGB - way too many beautiful options and combinations for me to stick with just one or two profiles - I really look forward to being able to customize this over and over again. Definitely a lot of fun to be had here visually as well as functionally!

Been using this keyboard for 3 years. It’s my primary work keyboard now.

Im not a gamer but i love the colors on the keyboard. I got it because i like the clicking sounds it makes and the colors reacting to the keys.

My 10yr old son is a Fortnite Legend. He absolutely loves this keyboard. He had a different one originally but insisted on this one. He loves how the colors go bright and dull. He loves the ease of the keys to reach. very happy with this purchase.

Bought this for my 16 year old son. He likes the keys better than other choices. Very nice keyboard. Recommend.

This is perfect for anyone who likes to here the sound of their typing! It has increased my typing speed and accuracy in the short amount of time I’ve owned it. The colors are awesome and all shortcuts work great with both Windows and iOS!

Great Keyboard my wife uses it every day, no complaints

This baby!!!! Woooooo. Very clicky and audítble. Has a nice feel to it. Warning though the palm rest is Matte is is prone to finger print smudges from your hands oil. Just alcohol wipe it from time to time.

great keyboard seems to be cat proof due to the lighting which also helps in low light situations

Very happy with the keyboard, nit so happy with how Best Buy handled the problem of not receiving it. They refused to replace it for 2 weeks. Ontrac still shows the keyboard is delayed.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I had been looking online and went out on a limb and this turned out to be a great purchase.
