Great video just forgot about the incredibly smooth contactless switch not only does it have adjustable actuation but also some of the smoothest switches ever
I've seen a lot of content regarding this keyboard and, unless I am mistaking, you are the first one to show how the key actuation settings actually impact your typing experience. It was very helpful, thank you man!
Do you think you could do a rgb lighting demo for this keyboard please, i really want to know what the limitations of the lighting for this keyboard is :D
The lighting is really good actually. One of the best I've seen. It's per key but you can also layer it. So have base colours or effects then reactive ones on top of that. It's super neat. Plus tie in apps with the SteelSeries engine to do things like change key colours according to what's happening in Discord. It's swish
I've been picking up a mechanical keyboard for a couple of months, and this one finally suited me. Pros: Very fast, easy to type, great actenuation. Not too hard, not too soft Quite silent in gaming (at least not clicky at gentle pressing) Great rgb lighting Big letters with good spacing Cons: the usb hub is 2.0, very slow The cord is not flexible, looks a bit retro and thick
Hallo I’m planning on buying this keyboard I play games like Minecraft, terraria, fortnite, Roblox, and cod. I’m not sure if I should get the TKL or full sized version tho and thoughts?
I have the keyboard however i dont how how to put like my spotify, discord, gpu and cpu and stuff on the oled screen i seen people put these things. Can anyone help me thanks.
hi, i hope my question makes sense. i was wondering if the keys have rapid trigger or rapid reset, meaning do i have to let the key come all the way up before i can press it again or can i start bringing my finger up and then hit the key again to register as another key stroke? Wooting two Lekker edition makes this question clear with their keyboard and hall effect keys, so im just wondering if this keyboard is also like that. thank you!!
For fps you shouldn’t chose any of these you should get the GK61 it has the fastest switch .2 ms. But if you want it for the switch sound I would recommend the Corsair option. Hope you find this helpful!
Hi Very good vid btw. Can i ask you where i find the keyboard with double line enter ? On all pictures i found is silngle line enter. Im looking for keyboard with double line like in your vid.
I BOUGHT the keyboard yesterday and steelseries mouse. i knew when i would do the update software it would screw up, and it did. then nothing worked. i had to turn the computer off and back on. unplug everything and plug it back in. then the letter A just 1 touch and it would give about 15 presses of A. crazy. then the colors were all gone. i tried to change things, but it would no longer save. what a headache. i finally went to download the software again, reinstall , still some problems with colors, but finally after an hour, i had it back again as before. i really hope there are no more problems.
Nice review, this video is so satisfying and I am definitely getting this keyboard on Christmas 🎄! Thanks man I subbed and liked the video, happy holidays and merry Christmas 🎄🎁
They removed the app in august because it wasn't working for some people I think and they still haven't relaunched it sadly. U are able to get it if u download the old engine but It doesn't work well for me at least
@The Provoked Prawn. How do the customizable keys work. On my current dying G910 i love to use the Logitech G keys, if Steelseries offers this as well I think I will buy the Apex Pro as my next keyboard.
Jose Martínez The apex pro has ‘OmniPoint’ switches which are much faster than any switch and the apex 7 just has Cherry Mx switches or something like that
Yes, but many of the aftermarket keys will need some cutting to make them fit. Steelseries has a bulb of rubber on their RGB leds that get in the way of one of the supports on many keycaps.
Probably a custom reactive setting? I believe in SteelSeries engine you can choose the lighting to react to certain games. Check in the software and see.
£200 in the uk, and only 60% of the keyboard has the omnipoint switches (the rest are regular mechanicals)? too expensive considering that and that you need to cough up a further £30 for the steelseries PBT keycaps unless you're a fan of hollow sounding keys that wear out and go shiny in a few months. a Ducky shine 7 is much better for this price here in the UK.
I have a problem when im playing CS:GO when i switch between my guns The light on the Fn keys turn of and on and when im dead the 3 top lines doesnt light up?? Someone tht can help?
Tough one. I think they're both great. The Apex is very customisable and has better RGB, but I prefer the layout of the K95 and it has stayed as my main keyboard, despite having the chance to use both.

Steelseries made a video on RUclips.

Quite silent in gaming (at least not clicky at gentle pressing)
Great rgb lighting
Big letters with good spacing
Cons:
the usb hub is 2.0, very slow

Bro do u know how to fix apex pro tkl oled screen not showing anything like black screen
Is it worth switching from a g513 carbon tactile?
Yeah because its the best gaming keyboard but its also very expensive so of you Can afford it then buy it :)
how would i change the speed if i used the keyboard on console?
Im not sure but that's probablyt impossible
What were the 2 reasons it isn't?
My guess would be that it doesn't have a detachable usbc cable and that it uses ABS keycaps.
There are none
Only problems with mine is that the stabilizers tend to be very rattly. And also my left arrow key does not register.
How easy is it to clean it and can you edit the RGB for each key? Like leave only few keys shining in different colors.
Compressed air will sort it out or you can take the keycaps off. It's like any keyboard really. For cleaning anyway and yes it has per key RGB iirc
@@TheProvokedPrawn thx
