Customer Ratings & Reviews

As far as gaming focused keyboards go It feels like this is a little light on overall features, lacking in any dedicated macro keys and the like. But the typing experience on it is rather nice. Construction is solid, it has some heft to it with its aluminum chassis. But otherwise it's a nice full-sized keyboard. I'm personally more of a fan of tactile switches. But the linear switches on this model are software adjustable to change the actuation point of when the key registers that it has been pressed. So, you can set them to only register when you bottom out the key or have it register with the most minute of movements for the fastest response time. I personally have them set at around 70% so I still have to intend on pressing the key for it to register but if I am typing quickly it doesn't miss keys that I didn't fully depress. It's a good balance. It's a lot quieter than my previous keyboard, both from it being linear as well as dampening foam in the chassis meant to mute the sound as you type. So it has nice thock, but it doesn't have the clackity clack of what you would typically expect from mechanical keyboards. Highly rated if you game a lot at night and have a partner that hates the clickity clackity of a keyboard. Or if you yourself likes a more quiet experience. There's per key lighting and a lot of preset options availible ranging from subtle breathing and solid lighting to straight up unicorn vomit and disco dance floor modes. With responsive lighting effects that can be layered overtop that only react to the keys actually being pressed. The Steel Series software has a lot of options to fully customize the keyboards behaviors, setup macros, bind system settings to key combinations etc. It can be a little intimidating to understand at first but with a little time It's not terribly hard to work with and get things dialed in and get the commands you need setup. The only thing really missing here is wireless functionality. and I am not entirely sure why there are cable routing channels built into the bottom of the keyboards chassis when the usb port for the keyboard really doesn't lend itself well to making use of those routing channels in any meaningful way, and I don't actually see any reason to use them for any other devices on my desk? Reminder, these are hall effect switches, so you know, magnets. I would suspect anything that produces a strong magnetic field might screw with the functionality here so, keep that in mind. Might act weird near big magnets? Might not work right after being exposed to big magnet?

good keyboard. The feedback is great, easy to clean and the rgb is good for when you're in a dark room

Love this keyboard! The keys are not too loud, which was very important to me. The responsiveness is so much better than my previous one, and now I have all of my peripherals in the SteelSeries ecosystem.

I have owned many smaller 60 percent keyboards over the years but the apex tkl isn’t as big as I thought it would be, great purchase would buy again.

Loved the original version of this keyboard and this version is even better. Good job SteelSeries!

Loved the way the lights would move when pressing the keys. Good rbg

Great working key board. It's fun and easy to use for gaming and work.

Overall a great product, the only downside I have found at this point is the selector for for different configurations and setting is a little complex. Great product overall and will probably get another one for my wife, keys are smooth and crisp while being easy to replace.

I really like my items it’s just what I was looking for.

Perfect and excellent for work and gaming purposes

Fantastic Keyboard!!! I use it for bith gaming and work and kove it!!!

I've been using SteelSeries for over 4 years! Haven't switched since using them! They've tied me into all their products pretty much and I'll never consider different moving forward!

After building and messing around with everything, this one got my love! perfect and old school

Great keyboard. Very responsive and fairly quiet switches. Endless customization options and looks great. Considering getting a 2nd for work.
