SteelSeries Apex 7

Overview

Pick up the SteelSeries Apex 7 if you want a keyboard with a mini-OLED screen and don't care about per-key actuation. Otherwise, the Corsair K70 RGB Mk.2 is a better peripheral for the same price.

Overall, this is one of the most feature packed and well made keyboards on the market today. Awesome in the office, awesome for gaming, and the lightweight brown mechanical switches are some of the finest on the market today. Highly recommended.

The Apex 7 and Apex Pro are both well thought out, properly engineered and worthy of the SteelSeries name, but the pricetag, particularly on the Apex 7, does make things a little trickier.

The SteelSeries Apex 7 is a solid keyboard that lacks the per-key customization that made its counterpart, the Apex Pro, worth considering. It doesn’t quite justify its price because of the limited utility of its integrated OLED Smart Display and ubiquity of RGB-backlit keyboards.
