I’m really happy with it, I think it is a great keyboard. It is very comfortable to use, it is easy to type on and the keys feel great. I’ve worked mostly from home during the last year, so I’ve used it a lot. I haven’t had a single problem with it and every key still works just fine. It feels like it is made from some really good materials and I can’t really see any wear from it, other than some dust. But it is easy to remove the keys so, I should be easy enough to clean. It is easy enough to customize the RGB as well, but the software could be better. Each OLED screen is your own integrated command center, displaying useful information for adjusting settings, changing profiles, and seeing on-the-fly updates. Avoid tabbing out of what you're doing, and instead let your keyboard, headset, or mouse show you the important details. Built for gaming, the GameDAC transforms any PS4 or PC into a high performance audio system by bypassing the low fidelity quality DACs found in typical controllers, USB headsets, and … and of course, our favorite part of any OLED is making it our own.

However this is my first expensive keyboard, so I don’t know how it compares to similar high-end keyboards. Since the keyboard also offers on-the-fly macro recording, it could be useful for hardened MMO players, who often need to automate complex skill rotations. There are no extra macro keys, though, so you'll probably have to part with another key for that functionality, at least temporarily. Bottom Line If I were to mention a few things. I haven’t really found the key sensitivity that useful. I played around with it a few times, but I just ended up using the same sensitivity for all the keys. I mostly play single player games, but maybe it would be useful if you play some FPS and need different sensitivity for some of the keys. I like the idea of being able to adjust the keys and customize it. I never actually had any good keyboard before, or mechanical one for that matter. If I'm going to spend the money on a nice keyboard anyway, I wouldn't mind spending that extra money and get something even better. In the SteelSeries engine, select the Gear you want to make it for > OLED & Settings > Edit OLED Image > Clear > Type or Draw!

Qualitative feel aside, it wasn't too bad for typing. With my standard Logitech G613, I scored 117 words per minute with seven errors, while with the Apex 7, I reached 115 wpm with 5 errors, not a substantial difference.

Games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and programs like Spotify can also use the OLED screen to display information, such as kill/death ratio or song title and artist. But, as I pointed out in the Apex Pro review, this information draws your eyes away from the computer screen, where that information is already readily available. The OLED screen could be situationally useful, but I feel like the Apex keyboards could have been stronger, cheaper products without one. Performance

However, something about the keys feels off. Like the Apex Pro, the Apex 7's keys feel spongy and almost non-resistant. Naturally, you don't want to have to slam down a key every time you type a letter, but a little bit of resistance helps keep your fingers from flying across the keyboard too fast and accidentally pressing adjacent buttons. I tested the Apex 7 with Red switches, and felt like I had to slow down and really consider what I was typing, or else risk clumsy keystroke errors. The OLED screen can do most of the same things, except it's a lot smaller and harder to navigate. As such, I'm not exactly sure what distinct benefits the screen confers. You can program macros on the fly, which is admittedly useful if you don't have a two-monitor setup — but there are also keyboard shortcuts that let you do the same thing.
