Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is hands down the best keyboard I've every purchased. Both for gaming and for side development. The secondary key functions are actually light up and visible in low light. Not to mention the magnetic action on the keys is the best feeling keyboard I've owned. I'm getting ready to purchase a second one to use at work.

Very quality keyboard. Would reccomend to freinds and family.

Best keyboard out there, saw an improvement in my gaming performance within the day. Typing also feels so much better with being able to change sensitivity. Also like the CPU/GPU temp monitor on the LED screen, it isn't updating every second but it updates enough for me to to get a general idea where my temps are at.

I likely won't be switching keyboards for the upcoming year or so because I've stumbled upon this keyboard... it is so nice to use and just feels *right*

The actual fastest keyboard and response time as it describes it to be.

Very response at 0.1mm. Highly recommed especially for for fps games.

It’s extremely fast and responsive, the rapid trigger is also really useful for gaming

I just want to clarify that I ended up returning this keyboard. I have the original APEX Pro in a full size layout, and I was really expecting Steelseries to do more with this updated version. My major gripe with this keyboard is Steelseries cheaped out on the quality. It's not as robust anymore and is majority plastic, and it sounds awful because of hollow the board is. The switches are fast, but they feel wobbly. I recently acquired a Wooting HE 60 that I have been waiting five months for, and it shares some similar design and switches to the Steelseries Omnipoint switches. The Wooting just blows the new Steelseries Apex Pro out of the water in terms of build quality, switch feel and sound, and just about everything else. Glad I held out for the Wooting, because Steelseries cut so many corners with this update and jacked up the cost.

Excellent magnetic HE keyboard. This keyboard is perfect for anyone that wants to get into high performance. The software is straight forward and easy to use. The LED colors and presets are vibrant and well thought out. The keycaps and switches have a really nice feel and sound.

The keyboard is fast, responsive, and has a good feel and quality to it.

My buddy had the first version of this keyboard and got me interested. One of the key features of this 2023 edition was the USB-C port. Makes it so much easier to unplug and travel with a different cable as to not mess up my desks cable management. Seems like a small detail but fixed cables have haunted me for years. I also really like the soft linear switches and the degree of control over actuation. The Steel Series software is also top notch. Gives me granular control over macros and allows for highly customisable meta macros. Definitely expensive but in my opinion, a fantastic keyboard software passage.

My son absolutely loves this keyboard. He’s had it for a while now and it holds up well. I secretly borrow it sometimes because I like the way the keys feel. May need my own lol

Really good keyboard, good for gaming and so worth it.

This is a great keyboard, not just a gaming keyboard. If you’re a fan of linear switches, the Omnipoint switches in this keyboard will likely be the best keyboard switches that you have used. Rather than traditional mechanical switches, this keyboard utilizes Hall-effect switches, which utilize magnets and corresponding sensors to detect and register keystrokes. This circumvents the need for the standard contact points in mechanical switches, as well as the time required for “debouncing”. This keyboard also has double-shot PBT keycaps, which are generally excellent as they will last effectively forever, while being resistant to finger oils and general grime. Due to the way these Hall-effect switches operate, there are limitless possibilities regarding actuation points on a per-key basis, all of the way from 0.2mm to 3.8mm. Additionally, Steelseries has stated they will support 0.1mm-4.0mm actuation, as well as dynamic actuation (similar to Wooting’s “rapid-trigger”) in a tertiary firmware update (coming soon). The acoustic characteristics of this keyboard are generally improved over the legacy 2019 model, in my opinion. While each key is moderately more “clacky” as opposed to the “thocky” sound of the 2019 model, the stabilizers on the new 2023 version are significantly improved by reducing the rattle while maintaining a “fast” and fluid feel, which is something that is often lost when it comes to custom keyboards. The ONLY critique that I have is that the RGB profiles are no longer able to be saved to memory or adjusted outside of the software. This is potentially an exceptionally important note for users who may be unable to install third-party software on PCs where this keyboard may be used (i.e. work computers). While I find this frustrating, it does seem to be par for the course when compared to most competition, and does not impact overall performance.

Functionality of the keyboard remains good after a year of ownership but LEDs on certain keys began to fail within 6 months.

Good key board very responsive and customizable as far as key sensitivity. Also a plus your able to have several configs saved on the keyboard it’s self

Amazing keyboard feeling when pressing any key its solid and the quality feels good for its price RGB lights are amazing its overall a good purchase

Flawless keyboard response time with rapid trigger. It's on the pricey end of keyboard, but money is well spent. TKL format is probably the most versatile for gaming, so APex Pro TKL is one of the few choices out there.

I mainly purchase this keyboard top play league of legends on my laptop when I travel for work and let me tell you i love it! Lets start with size and form factor, its perfect for on the go its a tkl and it is very lite. The keys feel nice and let me tell you its super responsive i havent even started messing with the actuation settings. The lighting effect and timers on the keyboard screen come in clutch im more aware of dragon timers and it is pretty fun and neat feature. But let me tell you i tried this bad boy on the new COD AND DAMNMMM ITS WORTH IT keyboard is super responsive. All in all this is an amazing keyboard and would recommend

Honestly a fantastic keyboard. I would personally have preferred a Wooting, but this one does the job. The software, steelseries GG is absolutely terrible. If it weren’t for that h this keyboard would have easily been a 10/10. Other than that, the build quality is mostly plastic, but with that it is pretty light compared to my HyperX one. I should mention I had to return and exchange my first keyboard due to a software-sided issue where it would randomly type even with actuation turned off. TLDR: Good keyboard, horrible software, questionable quality control.
