Got this for my birthday. The price is high but you will 1000% think it's worth it after. 10/10 it's very responsive. I highly recommend for games like fortnite and valorant, although it's not a very good option for people that really like RGB. The lighting is amazing and very bright in the dark than my last keyboard. This keyboard has dead rgb which isnt a huge deal breaker for me. There's no way to get a yellow color because it shows up as green on the actual keyboard, and white is more of a cyan color but I found that putting it to a very light red or a very light purple works well. This isn't a problem with buying from best buy though as it is a steelseries problem with many of they're keyboards. As seen in the pictures the one taken when it was day seems blue while the one taken at night is a white color. Another thing to mention is the software. It automatically enables steelseries moments which is a pain to disable, it made my playing experience very laggy and my fps dropped ALOT. After you disable it there should be no problem at all though.

The design of SteelSeries keyboards is the best on the market. It has the simplicity of a compact keyboard, but the TKL version is just the right size for those of us who don't just use the keyboard for gaming. The response is fast, highly recommended for competitive games like Valorant and CSGO. The RGB is also something that doesn't disappoint. It has it all; the best keyboard, now with magnetic activation.

Great keyboard out of the box. Anyone who's into keyboards knows how important hot-swappability is. This keyboard is hot-swappable. Great switches and sounds great too. Only downsides: the included wrist-rest is terrible (it's too short); and the steelseries software is also terrible. Steelseries, if you're reading this, less is more with software. Look at wooting for inspiration.

This is hands down the best keyboard on the market, I've tried tons of other tech brands keyboards and none compare to the feeling of the apex pro. Being able to turn the switches down to .1 actuation is a game changer for me and I can really feel the speed of the response time!
Overall a definite 10/10 high quality, great performance keyboard.

It’s very lightweight, the keys are very comfortable, and the sound they make when you press them is really good. Every time I clean it, it’s very quick and easy to remove the keys. With the lights off, the lighting is very soft—perfect because it doesn’t glare or bother you. It doesn’t take up much space, and it’s very satisfying to work with. The wrist rest is very good; I don’t use it often, but when I do, you can really feel the difference. I could say it’s the best mechanical keyboard out there. I’ve bought four because it makes an excellent birthday gift, and people always tell me it’s a very good keyboard. It’s not hard to use, everything feels very comfortable, simply the best mechanical keyboard on the market.

I’ve used a lot of different keyboards and I will fully admit that this is the number one gaming keyboard. Fully customizable with lightning speed input it can’t get better than this. And the ability to make each key have its own actuation point makes gaming so much better

SteelSeries is back on the right track

While magnetic Hall Effect switches for keyboards have been around for the better part of five decades, the original SteelSeries Apex Pro brought them to the mainstream. It was a solid product that started to show how gaming brands were actually listening to the community, at least mostly outside of the hardcore custom scene.
Regrettably, SteelSeries took a step back with the second-generation Apex Pro released in 2023. Wireless capability was nice, but the overall build quality and typing experience were noticeably worse.
The company has changed course with the 2024 update, and nearly every aspect of the Apex Pro has improved as a result. A tighter-feeling chassis with foam inside makes this, in my opinion, the best-sounding version of its contemporaries, including those from Corsair, Razer, and especially Wooting. Though the stabilizers on my unit were better than the previous Apex Pro I tried, they still required a bit of extra lubrication to fully eliminate the small amount of rattling. Lastly on the hardware front, SteelSeries continues to only use the adjustable switches on the alphanumeric cluster. The function row and navigation keys are standard contact-based linear switches.
The software experience has also improved, at least in terms of overall stability and functionality. It's less bloated than Corsair's iCue but not as intuitive/well integrated as Razer's Synapse. The UI also feels dated and cluttered. The whole thing could benefit from a ground-up rewrite, though what's on offer right now is more than usable.
Overall, the 2024 Apex Pro shows that SteelSeries is able to respond to feedback and update their products accordingly. It's something I can recommend, but wait for it to be on sale.
