Q: Can you buy this keyboard with brown switches?
A: Yes but that one is only at Steelseries.com
Q: How do you take out the switches in this so you can lube them?
A: The switches are not hot swappable, and needs to be desoldered in order to lube them, or it can be done with a small brush on the top side of the switch, without desoldering... Hope this helps!
Q: Are the letters carved into the keys and does heavy finger sweat make the keys' letters fade away?
A: They are etched into the keys so they will not fade away.
Q: How fast is it compare to the apex pro?
A: They 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.
Q: Does this keyboard work with razers pbt custom keycaps?
A: Yes it dose do not listen to them I have them
A: Hi! The keycaps can be pulled, but the switches themselves cannot be moved or adjusted.
Q: What is the difference between this keyboard the and Pro version, besides the $50 difference?
A: Pro 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.
Q: will the gmnk polychroma pbt key caps fit on this keybpard?
A: undefined
