The SteelSeries Apex Pro is a gorgeous keyboard that features RGB lighting and an incredible degree of customisation, including per-key actuation that will alter the way you play games. Tactile typing enthusiasts, on the other hand, will expect more from the linear switches.
No matter where the actuation point is set, the linear keys on the Apex Pro still have a mushy feel to them. If you type more than you play games, you should look into purchasing a different kind of gaming keyboard, which is likely to be more affordable.

Where to get SteelSeries Apex Pro keyboard?
The SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL does not attempt to look sophisticated, edgy, or artsy, which is the first thing that stands out about the design of this product. To the contrary, its design errs on the side of looking sturdy and useful, rather than appealing, which is not a drawback in and of itself but is something to keep in mind. Yet, it makes an attempt to give some flair to an otherwise plain aesthetic with its magnetic wrist rest that is pleasant to the touch, its changeable OLED display, and, of course, its RGB lighting. Its features include:
Those of us who desire something portable yet do not want to sacrifice access to second-tier keys (in terms of their functionality) would welcome the TKL format’s capabilities. It has dimensions of 355.44 by 139.26 by 40.44 millimetres, which indicates that it is rather compact and does not occupy an excessive amount of room, making it an excellent choice for more condensed configurations. In addition to this, it has a reasonable amount of portability; however, if you want something that is even more portable, we recommend that you go for the SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Wireless instead.
This keyboard comes with a wide variety of features, both large and tiny, as was previously described. There is an OLED smart display, which displays information for adjusting settings, changing profiles, and seeing updates. There are also two dedicated media keys (a clickable roller and the media button), and a detachable magnetic wrist rest. The clickable roller and the media button are both soft to the touch, but the wrist rest is not padded. We would have preferred a plusher feel from a padded wrist rest. Since this is a gaming keyboard, it comes with programmable RGB lighting, however the quality isn’t the highest we’ve seen among similar products.
