Customer Ratings & Reviews

great quality and love the lights. Love the OLED screen with all the presets. Very easy to modify.

Great keyboard. Great software. would give it a 5/5 but the price is a wee steep in my opinion.

Everything about this keyboard is great. It is a joy to use, is a pleasure to type on, and the RGB and it's options are excellent. My last mechanical keyboard was from a populer brand, but this Steelseries has them beat. I highly recommend the Apex 7.

Context, I write for profession so my review is based on clacking at the keyboard for a few hours at a time. Colors and keys are vastly customizable. The presses feel confident, though the keys seem a little shaky under light pressure. A bit clanky loud, but most of the mechanical boards are in this price range. My understanding is there's dampeners some people use but I opted for a low profile board, which seems to have less plastic in play on the keys.

This is probably one of the best keyboards you can buy. It’s got great switches, individually backlit keys, and an OLED screen just to name a few features. This is my first keyboard from steelseries and it won’t be my last. The only thing I don’t like is spending $150 for a keyboard.

The back lighting, touch on board, are so "happy". Easy to use wired board. I'm not a gamer, but this board makes me happy just using it. I switched from a "wired" setup to help eliminate horrific EMF signals constantly coming off the wired board. So here is to your better health using this item.

Saw it on the shelf and it was so new I could not even find a review of it. The feel of the keys is superb. It has the feel of a mechanical(which it is), but without the loud key clicks that drive me nuts. The wrist rest is super smooth and comfortable. The only negative is the software, looks like it’s from about 10 years ago. Other than that, I would recommend 10/10.

it is worth paying for mechanical board but beware it might not support macbook fully. you can install steelseries app on your system and configure your keyboard.. you can upload your images and use it on your screen as well at top right.. but like i said you might not be able to use all the features if connecting with macbook. like if you press printscreen it would increase your system's brightness. so think twice before buying for macbook.

I've owned this keyboard for about 2 months now and it has been working flawlessly. I went with Steelseries because they made my last keyboard (6gv2) and it lasted 10 years! The red key switches are nice and light. Significantly more so than the black switches on my last board. I am glad I went with linear switches though, I tend to prefer this over a clicky switch because it is significantly quieter. Finally, the steelseries GG software is some of the easiest I have used and I have experience no bugs with it whatsoever. Much better than my experience with some competitors that will not be named. I definitely give this keyboard a strong recommendation if you have the money. It is a big enough step above the Apex 5 that it is worth the extra money.

This keyboard is the best I've ever used. Best responding (red) switches, macros capabilities, and plenty of preset lighting configurations. After years of using other brands (Microsoft, Razer, Logitech), this is by far the best one. Even my wife noticed right away that it was far superior to the Razer Black Widow that it replaced. Definitely worth the money for the switches alone, and would recommend this over other brands all day long! If you're thinking about dropping the money for this KB, do it and you'll be glad you did!

I don't know anything about gaming but my grandson picked this keyboard out and now I fell in love with it.The beautiful rainbow colors of the keys are constantly changing. The lighted keys make it easy to type in a dark or dim room. Everybody exclaims about how pretty it is when they first see it!

Love this keyboard. Oled display is perfect for displaying gpu and cpu temps. Key switches feel great, and the steelseries engine software is awesome. Only thing it lacks is volume control and maybe a larger display.

Amazing keyboard with the perfect customization as well as sound.

Amazing keyboard with beautiful customization of the RGB lights. I got this for my son and his new gaming desktop and he could not be more happy. The keys are exactly what he wanted and he is able to change the colors effortlessly.

Great feel, lots of control. Besides gaming I use this for adobe software as well. Colors can be set per key, which is really nice for software. Which I could share color profiles as a file with my co-workers

I like this keyboard. I love the feel and sound of the keys. The colors are nice as is the little info screen built into it. I only wish it had a context menu key instead of the second Windows key.

Great mechanical keyboard! Fully customizable and full sized. Very strong and durable. The cord is thick and tough. The aluminum is thick and strong, no flexing yet still lightweight. It does have a USB 3.0 pass thru.

Been using this keyboard for nearly two years now and it's served me well. Keycaps can easily be replaced with different colors and the OLED screen while a gimmick, has some great uses. From displaying what songs you're listening to, to your PCs temps, CPU usage, and GPU and RAM usage. Though since it's an OLED screen you will see burn in over time.

The vibrancy of the colors are great! So many options to personalize this keyboard.

Beautiful keyboard. I am not a gamer, but why should they have all the fun? I love the click sound and feel all while the keys are easy to see with color backlighting.
