    I bought the Apex 5 as my first mechanical keyboard last year but the blue switches were starting to get annoying to listen to. Just bought an Apex 7 with brown switches and it's a much better experience for me. No longer does it keep people up when I'm typing!

    Hi.. loved ur video.. i wanna ask something.. steelseries apex series came out 2019.. now 2021 already... the previous gens before apex is in 2018 m750 etc. Would it better if I wait for next gens or just buy apex pro.. since we all know there r some cons with apex pro.. USB etc.

    I have the Apex Pro TKL and I tried the apex 5 in store and if I had the 5 I would swap it out with the pro from time to time because I really like how light and clicky the switches are. You really can't go wrong with any of them except for the Apex 3 which I wouldn't recommend over an entry level mechanical keyboard

    • @simjanoskibojan
      @simjanoskibojan 2 года назад

      Not really fake. The switch is mechanical the actual key press is registered differently. I just got mine today after 2 years of using a logitecg g513. In my opinion the apex is far superior, AND has a better feel when you press the keys. It is unfortunate that logitech lowered their quality. Mine had faulty led lights after just a few months and started to register single presses as double or tripple.
