Pros and cons

According to our keyboard expert

With the LCD screen on the keyboard, you can easily navigate your settings and simply adjust them.
The Apex 5 has membrane keys with a tactile click, so you feel feedback when you press a key.
This complete keyboard with the numeric keypad is also suitable for work or school.
You have less freedom of movement with a wired keyboard because you're always bound to a cable.

Description

With the SteelSeries Apex 5 Gaming Keyboard, you can adjust settings while gaming and register keystrokes quickly. This puts you ahead of the competition. This wired gaming keyboard has mechanical keys with a tactile click, which allows you to feel feedback but not hear it when you press a key. The LCD screen shows you exactly what settings you're adjusting on your gaming keyboard. This is a complete gaming keyboard with a numeric keypad, so you can also use your gaming keyboard for other things than gaming. Connect this gaming keyboard with the USB-A cable. This means the keyboard is plug and play, so you can use it right away. You can adjust the RGB lighting yourself via the SteelSeries Engine software and choose between 16.8 million colors. That way, your gaming keyboard fits the rest of your setup.

Top product for a great price!

Included wrist rest
Beautiful, quality product
Plug and play
Keys are 'high', underlying surface does not seem finished

Nice product for a nice price. Installation was nothing, USB in your PC and go! Ergonomically a little getting used to compared to my previous Logitech G213 which seems to give a little less strain on my wrist, but that can be an illusion. Keys are quite high up on the board, or at least the actual board is lower, making the lighted area below the keys 'open' and appearing a bit unfinished. Definitely not a deal breaker for the price. I am very satisfied!

Badly designed! Deviating character representation.

Fairly solid quality
Typing fine and fairly quiet
Key layout is terrible

If you zoom in on the locations of the steelseries keyboards you can see it. But because all other brands don't do this with you on it. But all symbols that require you to shift are located BELOW the key instead of above it. I've had the keyboard for a few weeks and as long as I type blind it's fine. But as soon as I look at the permission, I get lost. Especially for allergies, all the characters you don't use often. What a terrible design choice!!

strong keyboard for a reasonable price!

nice ''clicky'' keys
many color choices
many options in the steelseries program
gets dirty quickly and hard to clean at the bottom of the keys

The steelseries apex 5 keyboard is quite nice to play with, also for typing of course, The installation was quite simple and fast! The keys respond instantly and you don't have to press it deeply, The steelseries software has all kinds of lighting options for all keys (including per key!) and special effects, Only the only thing that bothers me is that it makes a lot of noise and it not suitable for gaming at night!
