SteelSeries Apex Pro 2023 TKL Gaming Keyboard

Start with the bad, but keep reading; this is a gamer's review while typing on the keyboard itself.Bad: The keyboard does feel weird to type on if you don't have the legs up, which can be straining on the wrists and fingers, I know there is a wrist rest, but that's the point. Some people don't use it for multiplayer reasons, but for typing, for an essay, or for school work, it is recommended to use the rest as it's easier on your wrists due to long typing times. It's better with legs up, But it does depend on the person. In terms of keyboard sounds, It's neither good nor bad. It sounds softer than the previous model of the Apex Pro TKL; still clacky, but if you have headphones on, you aren't going to notice it that much.Good: Where do I even start?

The switches are amazing, especially in terms of the customization of their actuation point and their ability to bind walk, AND run to a specific key, depending on how far you push it down. The OLED Display is another plus with its ability to integrate into discord and other games, making it quite an enjoyable viewing when a specific game event occurs. And for the size and specs, it doesn't weigh a lot if that's something you are worried about. The USB-C Is in a decent spot, yes, it could be better but if you aren't going to move It around a lot, there's no point in worrying and it's braided, too so it's a tough cable.Conclusion: The pros heavily outweigh the cons; even for the price, it's a well-built keyboard that will last me years even without the tenkey.

I just got the keyboard and updated its firmware in steelseries GG. Then I found a ridiculous glitch that one press on a key would make multiple letters occur. I tried changing the USB port and connecting the keyboard to my another laptop, but this problem still occurred. I was almost about to return this keyboard. But when I tried to adjust the actuation to other levels in steelseries GG, this glitch magically disappeared.So to everyone that has the same problem (One press on a key makes multiple letters occur), just try adjusting the actuation and then change it back.Besides that glitch which can be fixed manually, this keyboard is a great upgrade from the previous wired version.

What a shocker, like actually.I was looking forward to trying this keyboard out, as my first actual mechanical gaming keyboard was a steelseries keyboard. However, the keyboard has definitely disappointed me. Let me get this straight, razer, out of everyone, made a better feeling, sounding, and quality keyboard for less than this. That being the blackwidow v4 pro. Is the keyboard wireless? However this keyboard is. That still doesnt excuse the fact that the keyboard has some of the worst feeling plastics, the worst feeling wrist rest and the worst rgb I have seen for a keyboard at that price point. $250 is too high for this keyboard. I DO NOT recommend this keyboard at all.
