Keyboard feels nice! I like the feel but it is a bit sensitive when typing. I like the design did wish it came with a wrist rest tho. The RGB is nice! Fits my niece is build perfectly. Wish their were different colors other than the plain black.

Good keyboard but not made for me, For the price got really nice functions but the principal thing I didn’t like is the hw if you accidentally hit the record key it slooooowed a 32GB i713th gen a lot

This keyboard is very compact and light, and has very good options for the RGB lighting effects.
It is very customizable and works well with custom macros.
Danny –
You can definitely tell the quality difference when comparing against a regular 20 dollar keyboard. The keys have bounce back to help you type and game faster
Kemosabe –
Great quality, love the sound of the keys, I recommend getting it!
JohnG –
They claim it’s Next-Gen but it’s not used it’s the same keyboard as other companies just overpriced because has the name gaming in it and it’s colorful.
Blueguy –
The switches feel very mushy for my likes, as well i can’t feel the actuaion point. I do like the clean brushed black look of the frame, the rgb is dimmable by hardwear end and not only in the softwear. The cable is usb to usb-C so you dont need to use a valuable usb-c slot on ur pc.
BenjaminS –
Very nice keyboard. Needed an upgrade to my prior razor keyboard . Glad I made the switch.
CarletonC –

Sturdy and reliable keyboard. Fun to use with the color changes. Takes up less space than a full sized keyboard. Would recommend.
LeonelG –
Excellent device I love it a lot! The best thing ever the buttons are very soft no noise like a lot . Beutiful colors , with the colors you already have light you don’t need to turn on any light from home. I really do recommend this device .
Kimmie –
My grandson wanted this keyboard. He loves it. He uses it all the time. It is easy to use.
GeorgeW –
This keyboard is awesome! I had the razer huntsman v2 mini but it drove me crazy that i didnt have a delete button. Plus it was soooo loud. The apex 9tkl just has such a better feel and even when im smacking the keys as hard as i can, it doesnt register on my mic. Highly recommended

Very cool keyboard to game on. At first it seems really sensitive but then you notice it gives you an edge on certain games.
Spry –
Absolutely love this keyboard. The lights are subtle and programable, the clicks arent to loud and button presses is perfect.
Specializedchuck –
Responsive Keys, keys are removable and customizable.
I use with my Asus gaming laptop & the performance is better than my SteelSeries Apex 5 “red” mechanical keyboard. Price is reasonable at retail and even better when on sale at Bestbuy.
GADude –
Works as advertised, hair trigger firing for gaming and ty ping mode when I am not to save me A LOT of backspacing!!
Marianne –

My son loves this keyboard. He gives it a 110% because of the app, it allows him to control all of his Steel Series devices!
MikeM –
Great keyboard. Quality is nice and key response is quick.
Yousuf –
Smooth, quiet and surprisingly great for typing. Only downside is that you dont get the OLED display at this price even though the apex 7 can be found for cheaper
