Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Good: The features of this keyboard are great. The easily adjustable switch activation is perfect for moving between various game genres and daily task such as typing. The keyboard is well constructed and solid. Huge points for adding feet to the middle of the board which helps the keyboard feel planted and ensure there's no movement when using it. The palm rest is a hard plastic material with a soft rubberized coating on it, oddly enough I've found it pretty comfortable which surprised me, but it's nice they include it. The Doubleshot keycaps are a HUGE improvement to older keyboard keycaps we have seen from Steelseries, kudos on including them. The Meh: First off in the "Meh" section is the position of the USB-C connection. It's high on the side of the chassis and if you use the feet to angle your keyboard up at all the USB-C connector just looks silly, makes cable management a bit less tidy, and could lead to potentially damaging the connector. Next fo rthe "Mehs" is the sound of these new omnipoint switches. I dont know what changed with the switches themselves or the internal design of the keyboard but holy heck they are clacky. I have the original omnipoints in the Apex Pro Mini and it sounds much better while typing. The Apex Pro TKL sounds kinda... cheap by comparison. Lastly, it would be nice to have more integration in the OLED panel, controlling Discord mute/deafen or something of the like would be fantastic. The Bad: I'm including the switch sound in the bad as well, Steelseries missed an opportunity to make improvements in various areas by actually making the keystrokes sound worse (imo at least) than their first gen omnipoint boards. Lastly, I don't know if it's hardware or software but I've been troubleshooting the backlighting on my own and with Steelseries support (only via e-mail which is very unfortunate) due to the backlighting effects freezing every 5 to 10 seconds and then acting like it's suddenly "catching up" which is quite distracting when seeing flashes of light in your peripheral vision. Hopefully it's just a software issue but after a day and a half of exchanging e-mails and doing my own troubleshooting I'm still no closer to a resolution and this keyboard is currently hard to find in store so a fast swap out isn't possible.

The hand rest doesn’t stick the best to the keyboard. Keyboard overall is pretty good. Customizable digital dash on the top right. Great keyboard for gaming. Has that high quality feeling for a gaming keyboard.

love keyboard, but came with a broken oled display

The keyboard is amazing. Great sound, great build, wonderful customization, and some of the best performance from a keyboard I’ve seen. Being able to change the actuation on the fly, w/out needing to download possible bloatware is a plus as well. All in all, 9/10 keyboard, the price is the only thing holding it back.

The keyboard is great, the switches are great and the rapid trigger and omnipoint 2.0 switches are fantastic. My product had some defects and it malfunctioned unfortunely. With all the issues and the size of the keyboard I ended up switching to arguably the best keyboard on the market the Wooting 60HE. Both keyboards are fantastic. My major gripe with this particular keyboard however is for me the screen is a gimmick, its a cool little thing but really isn't useful. The steelseries software is absolutely dreadful and it singlehandedly reduced the score by one star. It's heavy and has a lot of random junk utilizing ram.

SteelSeries software actually works very well with this keyboard. The OLED panel is super fun to mess around with and has various game/software support. I currently have it setup to show my hardware temps in a loop and display whichever user is talking in the Discord channel I'm in. The keys are linear and just how I need them to be. The actuation is adjusted for the keys 'A' and 'D' to feel a little more resistant when strafing or steering. I wish there was a wireless version of this keyboard because we don't have enough wireless options for TKL keyboards sold through Best Buy.

Works great and ups the game play. Appreciate the use, the color, size and price.

My son loves this keyboard. He says it’s the best one he’s ever had and he’s had several.

great keyboard always loved SteelSeries keyboards, but for some reason this one rattles and has like a screw left inside of the frame.. kind of annoying but the keyboard still works great

I absolutely love this keyboard. It is a great choice if you play video games competitively

It was good. It got the job done while i was waiting for the wooting keyboard to come

Very good overall keyboard and one of the best gaming keyboards. Although, I wish the case and its overall design was better with its expensive price tag, its case is basic looking and seems somewhat cheap. Doesn’t have better features than the 2019 version.

This keyboard is great. It feels great to type on and is very customizable. The lack of the ten key takes some getting used to. The biggest problem I have with the keyboard, and the reason for only giving it four stars is the associated software can be difficult to use.

Great keyboard out of the box, not too much to complain about. Software/application is great too

I personally love the keyboard a lot I’m trying to get some new keycaps for it but I’m not 100% sure if they will fit because of the led for the rgb but other then that I’m very happy with the keyboard

It’s a very nice keyboard and with quick responsiveness and a durable build

Honestly a fantastic keyboard. I would personally have preferred a Wooting, but this one does the job. The software, steelseries GG is absolutely terrible. If it weren’t for that h this keyboard would have easily been a 10/10. Other than that, the build quality is mostly plastic, but with that it is pretty light compared to my HyperX one. I should mention I had to return and exchange my first keyboard due to a software-sided issue where it would randomly type even with actuation turned off. TLDR: Good keyboard, horrible software, questionable quality control.

The wrist thing is already getting usage damage after only a week of use. For the price they should at least use a durable material.

What a difference! After replacing a stock keyboard with this bad boy has brought my gaming skill to all time highs!

It's very good and works really well. I just feel like the key caps are made cheap but other than that it's amazing
