Q: QuestionHow fast is it compare to the apex pro?(1 answer)
A: AnswerThey are both equally fast. The thing with the apex pro tkl is that they have Omnipoint adjustable switches. In other words the fastest swicthes for gaming. The apex pro 7 tkl doesnt have that but regardless will still improve your gaming. It's also not as pricy as the apex pro tkl. I recommend waiting for that apex pro tkl to restock.Answered by Lorenzo

- A: AnswerPro allows you to set the feedback pressure required to "press" the key. I was planning to buy the pro as well, but for the money I wasn't going to use that feature enough to make it worth it.

Amazing keyboard!
I have really enjoyed this keyboard! Bestbuy is always great about helping and having a great selection! This keyboard plays very nicely for my style! Very heavy duty feeling and the RGB on steel series keyboards are amazing. Also the little screen in the top right that I can put my gamer tag on is a fun little customizable piece! Highly recommend. Just make sure you have 2 USB ports available as it takes one for signal and one for power.

Strong SteelSeries Quality
It Dosen't get any better than this. I've owned other gaming keyboards and this one blows all of them away. Everything about this keyboard is Perfect. The key strokes are smooth and not overly loud. The smaller TKL fit's my desk to perfection. The overall build is 100% Strong SteelSeries Quality. The LCD is a bit gimmicky but you can set up so many options along with using Spotify. And let's not forget the Very Cool RGB lighting that concluded my Grand Steel Series Finale.

Great Keyboard!
Switched from a logitech keyboard and can totally tell a difference in the build quality of the steelseries. Software is easy to use for customization. Would recommend to anyone.
