SteelSeries Apex 7 Tkl Compact Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Oled Smart Display Usb Passthrough & Media Controls Linear & Quiet Rgb Led Backlit, Black

you cannot go wrong with this. Touch, the sound is something unique and the hand rest pad provides rich and nice support. My first mechanical keyboard.

2025 Update: Few Keys has sorted PCBs, which are unusable.2023 Update: RBG is acting weird if a few keys, the scroll wheel is very midThis keyboard is very good, bought it in December 2021, using the keyboard for 3 months now. Had no issues. The only gripe is the price. I bought it for 12K, and it is still slightly overpriced for that budget, let alone 17K.The OLED is an additional feature, FOR JUST TO SHOW OFF to your friends. You will play with the display for 2-3 days, then you won't even bat an eye.Keys(red linear) are very satisfying to press or to type. The actuation is rather too low for my liking, but hey, I got used to it.The wrist-rest does its job and is of good silicone-rubbery quality, tho it is a dust magnet, it is easily wipable.I dont play much with the softwares, but the UI is not as smooth as your daily games, but will do the job.Update : 4years laterWhats going good:It still does the job extremely well.The actuation is still the same.Build quality is fantastic.The letters still haven't fadedWristpad doesn't even show any sign of heavy usage. I sweat a lot, still.Whats going not so good:The keys started to feel mushy, even after regular cleaning.After 2 years, the LEDs of some keys started turning permanently greenish.SteelSeries app is a mess. I don't even turn it on even after all the extra features it gives me while gaming.I used the OLED screen for two months, but haven't touched it in the past four years.

Letter L not responding in less than a year. TechXhub is not responding as it has 2 years warranty

i bought it a year ago, i have rarely used it and the keys dont work anymore

Amazing keyboard. The switches feel awesome, the build quality and design is phenomenal, the included wrist wrest is comfortable and the OLED display is very useful and unique. The RGB looks stunning as well. The only thing keeping this keyboard back is the Steelseries GG software which is not so user friendly and lacks quite a few basic features. But you can use a 3rd party software which the keyboard in itself, is capable of everything.

2025 Update: multiple keys stopped functioning. The Space Bar was the last straw. What is the point of spending so much money on a 'premium' keyboard if it's going to start falling apart so soon? My cheap Lenovo keyboard has been serving me well for almost a decade!.This is true love. The keyboard is perfect and I have nothing negative to say about it.What I love the most:- the sexy red keys- the steelseries software to control the keyboard (it also allows you to match the backlight to your music)- the little OLED screen which I use to display my CPU specs and temperature- the beautiful magnetic wrist restThis is the first time I've spent a good chunk of money on a keyboard and I don't regret it one bit. The experience has been phenomenal so far.Will update my review after a month or so, but I doubt I'll have anything negative to report.-UPDATE after a little over 4 monthsThe keyboard is still working like a charm. The lighting is still magnificent. But the scroll wheel isn't functioning properly. I was using it to control the speaker volume, so it was quite important to me. Overall it's still a great keyboard but it'd be better if the scroll wheel was a bit more robust.
