2 month review. I got this for my home office and it works great. I've used several mechanical keyboards over the years and this one is excellent. Some gaming keyboards are indeed great, but not for typing. I use this one as my keyboard for my job. I type on it for 8+ hours a day. The feel is a little heavy compared to membrane kbs, but I like that since I don't find myself accidentally activating keys by laying my fingers on the keys. It isn't a loud keyboard like the old school clickers, but in an office setting your cube mates could probably hear you fairly well. At home, my dog doesn't seem to be bothered by my typing. At the office, I have a mechanical Logi "G"-something that is also pretty darn good and more quiet. I would still take this SS Apex 7 as my #1 ... More2 month review.

No need to install any software just to adjust/change the lighting from an annoying animation. By default, the colors are a spectrum that SLOWY scroll (top to bottom). When you type the keys turn white and white expands L&R from the key you pressed and across the row. Not annoying compared to some other brand's default lighting behavior.

SteelSeries knows that to stand out from all the other similar keyboards, they need something unique. Their RGB engine is every bit as flexible and colourful as the other top name brands. They have a macro engine, onboard profiles, multimedia control and more. So in that respect, they’re very competitive. The aluminium construction is sublime, and the USB pass-through is a welcome addition too. I guess the real unique features are the magnetic wrist rest and the stunning OLED display. Overall though, it’s a pretty complete package that any PC user and gamer can appreciate.

Great keyboard! The silver base with white accents makes this keyboard look beautiful! And the pudding keycaps add so much to the RGB. I’d highly recommend this keyboard. The only reason I put 4 stars is because while the typing smoothness is there the stabilizers could use a bit of work. But this is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a beautiful white keyboard!

Honestly, for $150, this is a subpar keyboard. The cons completely ruin this keyboard, since the most important thing are the switches and typing experience, and SteelSeries failed on this.Pros:- Very pretty LEDs, especially with the pudding-style keycaps.- Software is decent and a lot of different light themes.- Mini OLED screen is nice and convenient to use.- Comes with a wrist rest which feels nice.Cons:-Keycaps feel cheap.- Legends are thick and blurry.- Switches feel very loose, yes even for linear switches.- There is a pinging, metallic sound when typing.- Cable is thick.
I ended up going with the Apex 7 Brown version of the keyboard. I was coming from a Logitech G510 rubber dome keyboard. After using it for a while, I've noticed a few things: The keys are a little bit higher, so my hand sits at a slightly different angle than I've been used to for almost a decade; so that has been an adjustment. I never used the G510 wrist rest, and I currently don't have it on the Apex 7. I may need to start though because it does compensate a little bit for the shift in key height. Despite the description of the keyboard, the "tactile/quiet" doesn't quite accurately describe the sound. Playing games can be quiet if you're only using a smaller subset of the keys (WASD type deal) and press them less frequently, but if you are typing fast (or even ... MoreI ended up going with the Apex 7 Brown version of the keyboard.

Despite the description of the keyboard, the "tactile/quiet" doesn't quite accurately describe the sound. Playing games can be quiet if you're only using a smaller subset of the keys (WASD type deal) and press them less frequently, but if you are typing fast (or even average speed), the keys are noticeably louder than the rubber dome keys. I'd say so much louder that I cant imagine the clicky keys on the blue is much louder when typing. My wife has complained about the loudness of my typing now that we share an office. In terms of key feel, I really like it compared to the rubber dome. I wouldn't say it is similar in feel by any means though. It takes less force to push a key down, but because it feels less "mushy" I feel like my typing is more precise. If you were to go with the clicky blue version, I'd say you'd get more of that "key pressed" feel you get on the rubber dome when you push past the force required to activate a key. On the brown switches, you can push a key slowly down and only feel a minor bump when activating the key. Having per-key color customization and profiles is a neat feature especially if you're going for A E S T H E T I C S on your build. Definitely an improvement over the G510 in terms of brightness and color definition. The inclusion of 6 macro keys is a nice carryover option from the G510, and I definitely didn't need 18 of those. Haven't really had an opportunity to use this feature yet, but it is nice that it is there. One feature I miss is having a clock on the LCD screen. I'd say that as of now, the LCD screen is useless for my purposes with the current app options available. I currently just have a gif on it and the screen serves no functional purpose. The only apps available for the LCD screen from steel series are games I don't really play, or visualizers I won't ever use. If you want a clock, or to display song info (from things like spotify), you're going to have to find someone that has made it and install it manually, or code it yourself. The volume slider is exactly as it was on the G510 and I'd say its even better since you get a little tactile bump each time you spin it. This is a feature I'm glad is exactly the same. The single play/pause/skip key under the volume wheel took a little bit of getting used to, but works as intended. The only negative I'd say is that unlike the G510, when you use the button to play/pause/skip and your monitor is asleep (but PC is still playing music in the background) it wakes your monitors up. The G510 buttons did not do this, and it is something I miss from that keyboard. Final thoughts is that this keyboard has enough features (that I wanted from my G510) to warrant the upgrade. It is a nice keyboard that should hopefully last me the next 10 years. The difference between brown and blue switches is probably just feel and not necessarily noise level (and the reds didn't interest me at all).
I spend quite a bit of money, time and thought on my peripherals and accessories. Usually the amount of research I do into a product is measured in hours or days. I ultimately settled on this because comparatively speaking with the other big brands and reputations, it was cheaper and with better materials. For the price you get metal construction and a metal, notched volume barrel. It's nice and sturdy all the way around. The keycaps feel good and look good, the lights are bright and accurate and my brown switches are fantastic. Long story short, for big name products, this is a very solid choice. At the time of writing this I only have about a month worth of heavy use. My Logitech keyboard had LED failures after about a year and a half(in the same price range).

Good Points: I bought this to replace my old reliable Blackwidow Stealth.Very happy with the switches: they sound good without being too loud, and they feel great to type on.The size and layout is solid (and proper UK layout for anyone concerned by the stock images).The software is unobtrusive and works well for managing lighting and rebinding any macros or shortcuts. Little things like being able to set macro keys to F13-24 to avoid any collision with normal keys out of the box are an improvement over some of their competitors.The weight is good - not as heavy as my old keyboard which could be used to beat an elephant to death, but weighty enough to not risk shifting around even in aggressive gaming sessions.The wrist wrest is comfortable and easy to attach / ... MoreGood Points: I bought this to replace my old reliable Blackwidow Stealth.Very happy with the switches: they sound good without being too loud, and they feel great to type on.The size and layout is solid (and proper UK layout for anyone concerned by the stock images).The software is unobtrusive and works well for managing lighting and rebinding any macros or shortcuts.

It's a nice idea, but unfortunately the bundled apps are quite inflexible and don't seem to work easily together. The ideal for me would be the system stats monitor, but it appears to be buggy for certain signals, and constantly causes a UAC prompt at startup in Windows 10.The cable is not the most flexible I've come across and is very kinked from the way it's packaged. Hopefully that'll work out over time, but for now it does make routing it a pain.I'll be interested to see how the soft surface of the wrist wrest holds up. It's comfortable now, but I could picture it degrading over time. Hardly a deal breaker though.
Good Points: Feels great to type with. Macros save a lot of repeated effort. Easy to configure. Response times are so much better than a membrane keyboard. I would highly recommend it.Improvement Points: Software is required for a lot of the features which may put some people off. The wrist rest is rubberised so attracts a lot of dust but it is easily cleaned. It would be better with a smooth plastic or metal finish.
The media could not be loaded. This keyboard exceeded my expectations. I play a lot of different games for long sessions including mmos so I needed a keyboard that was going to give me more feedback than the one I was currently using. I decided to try out this steelseries one because I am a huge fan of their mouse lineup. This keyboard exceeded my expectations. Pros: - I got the blue keys so they are very clicky and tactile which I love. You can feel an instant press. - The rgb lighting is bright but not too bright with a ton of customizable options - Font on the keyboard is large and easy for me to read - The OLED screen isnt too extravagant but being able to add a cute little gif is a plus in my book - The scroll wheel by the OLED screen is great for easy volume ... MoreThe media could not be loaded.

It could take some getting used to. - the wrist rest is also rubber and a fingerprint magnet - cord is thick but not braided
The media could not be loaded. To premise this review, I am a mechanical keyboard enthusiast and not a gamer. I looked for a long time before I bought this keyboard because I was looking for the specific qualities of a 107-key layout, volume rocker, usb pass through, and the ability to swap out for third-party keycaps, in particular the ones I had laying around. If you're looking for all those things, this is a really great buy. Plus the LED screen and the 'apps' included with the Steam Engine 3 software are really fun. I have one that shows me the song playing on spotify on my LED, and I think it's great. Regarding a full keycap replacement, this one was perfect for me. If you look at other brands, be careful of their bottom row, I saw a lot with small Fn or ... MoreThe media could not be loaded.

I have one that shows me the song playing on spotify on my LED, and I think it's great. Regarding a full keycap replacement, this one was perfect for me. If you look at other brands, be careful of their bottom row, I saw a lot with small Fn or Windows keys and I wanted to replace ALL the keys with a full set. I am very satisfied with this keyboard in terms of its functionality, colors, and overall build. However, a small nitpicky issue I have is that version of browns is quite loud. Coming from gateron browns (which I lubed), this had more of a 'ping' sound that irked me. Therefore, I decided to treat this mechanical keyboard the way I do with my smaller ones --- take it apart and insert some felt below the pcb. I also lubed the key switches and stabilizers. Unfortunately this didn't change the sound at all. I didn't want to use o-rings because I don't like how they feel. I originally had the hyperx pudding keycaps on this board because I wanted to take advantage of the RGB, but the sound seemed to echo in it, perhaps because it was thinner around the edges. Still wanting see the RGB in all its glory, I took out another set I had laying around --- some Thick Outlined ABS keycaps that I had bought from Massdrop. I never felt like this set fit in with my other keyboards, but I am happy to report it found its home. This set did the trick and change the sound to something heftier and slightly quieter. Gone was the springy sound before these mods. Of course I would not suggest that you make these changes unless you are comfortable (you may void your warranty). However, I'm very pleased with this keyboard now. If I could replace the plastic bottom of the case, I think I could have something even more special. I've included a sound test of me typing a 1-minute test. I average about 90 words per minute most of the time and this keyboard does not slow me down (nor make me faster).
