SteelSeries Apex 7 TKL
SteelSeries knows that to stand out from all the other similar keyboards, they need something unique. Their RGB engine is every bit as flexible and colourful as the other top name brands. They have a macro engine, onboard profiles, multimedia control and more. So in that respect, they’re very competitive. The aluminium construction is sublime, and the USB pass-through is a welcome addition too. I guess the real unique features are the magnetic wrist rest and the stunning OLED display. Overall though, it’s a pretty complete package that any PC user and gamer can appreciate.

If you love the looks and feature set of the Apex Pro, but don't feel that you would need to adjust the actuation depth or just love the Red style so much that it does all you require, then the Steelseries Apex 7 should be at the top of your wishlist. It's got form and function in abundance, married to some clever design touches and robust build quality. Everything from the key cap font design to the quality of the wrist rest is at the, if you'll pardon the expression, apex of the keyboard market.

steelseries_apex7_1.jpgUltimately, despite some complaints, the Apex 7 is a fine keyboard worthy of the SteelSeries name. However, it's just a little too expensive to justify at this price. I'd advise gamers to wait for it to go on sale, or try their...

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...

The Apex 7 doesn't aim quite as high as the Apex Pro, but it also doesn't cost as much. Overall, though, I found the two keyboards very similar. They're both well-designed, high-quality peripherals from a trusted manufacturer that nevertheless don't...
