About this deal
The RGB was very hard to control and would often reset or not do what I tried to make it do, especially when compared to using iCue on my K95. Building something special and disruptive takes time, so we're hyped to have such an awesome and supportive community along with us for the ride!
We're attracting top gaming brands from around the world and bringing fresh new gaming gear to the UK, with a mission to make it accessible to everyone nationwide. SteelSeries Engine unlocks a library of features for all SteelSeries products, so you can customize, sync, and tweak your setup to perfection.Productivity-minded users likely wouldn't want to use this keyboard as their everyday driver, due to its lack of a number pad, but that misses the point for the serious gamers and tweakers it is meant for. That said, the HyperX is full-sized, so it has a Numpad and a Windows key lock, and the companion software allows you to create more profiles than the SteelSeries. com and PC Magazine are among the federally registered trademarks of Ziff Davis and may not be used by third parties without explicit permission. On the other hand, the SteelSeries doesn't have a detachable cable but is more comfortable to use thanks to its included wrist rest.
The SteelSeries Apex 7 TKL is a TenKeyLess gaming keyboard with a wide set of features and superb companion software. The Apex 7’s RGB lighting is in a bulb near the top of the switch, which allows more light to shine through and give the keyboard more vibrance. The typing experience is very different between the Cherry MX Speed switches on the Corsair and the SteelSeries Brown switches on the SteelSeries. Once the glue has been heated long enough, use a spudger (a flat plastic tool with a sharp end) or a knife to scrape underneath the feet to peel them off — be careful if using a knife! I decided to keep the SteelSeries keycap on my keyboard as a small contrast and a reminder of the brand, as I personally love the SteelSeries logo.By default, the OLED display shows just the SteelSeries logo and brand name, but you can upload other images (including GIF and JPG files) for the keyboard to display. On the other hand, the Apex 7 TKL we tested is a TenKeyLess design, but a full-sized variant, the SteelSeries Apex 7, is also available. The Apex 7 TKL is a mechanical keyboard available in three types of switches, while the Apex 3 TKL has rubber dome switches, which feel heavier. The Razer only has white backlighting, does not have an included wrist rest, and its companion software is only compatible with Windows.
SteelSeries, however, actually makes quality products and I would recommend you at least consider them for your next mechanical keyboard purchase. The SteelSeries has better ergonomics with an included wrist rest, all its keys are macro-programmable, and it has a mini OLED screen. You can see who joins your lobby in MK11, control your discord media options and get notifications, or just check out what song is playing. The SteelSeries Apex 7 TKL, and its full-sized counterpart, the SteelSeries Apex 7, are the only keyboards in the SteelSeries Apex lineup available with multiple switch types.
The unit we tested has tactile Cherry MX Brown switches, and it has many variants available with a range of Cherry MX switch types, as well as a variant with low profile switches. Aircraft Grade Aluminium Alloy The Series 5000 metal frame is manufactured for a lifetime of unbreakable durability and sturdiness, making it the perfect centerpiece of any high end setup.
