  1. Jjl1

    Great for the price. good quality. wish it could have been wireless but you cant find a good one at this price.

  2. SeanD

    Best keyboard I’ve ever bought! Feels and looks amazing!

  3. JamesS

    Works great and the wrist rests is great at preventing fatigue. Good value for the price.

  4. Wafty

    COLORFUL LIGHTS! They don’t have to be, though. But why would you get this keyboard then?

  5. Julie

    Great keyboard for gaming and work. Like how it’s very customizable

  6. MEME

    Keyboard for a must have for gaming and this one fits my budget and son needs. It’s been holding up so far this Christmas makes a year .

  7. Luckyllama

    I love it. Easier to keep clean than my previous gaming keyboard.

  8. Boleo

    Wow, I had such high hopes for this keyboard, but I was wrong. It is way to easy to hit adjacent keys and if you are a speed typer like I am, this is a disaster.

  9. LoganS

    I previously had the apex 5 which was an excellent keyboard but my switches started failing at 4 years of ownership. I had heard good things about the apex pro, and they certainly do live up to the expectations. This is a very fairly priced keyboard for everything you get. I have had no issues with the lighting zones, the steel series software or the functionality of the keys themselves. The rapid trigger and Omni point adjustable switches are fantastic for competitive shooters like counter strike. I was able to tune the Omni point actuation to a point where I no longer needed to counter strafe really. An excellent keyboard for gaming, or just general office work. Keys are sort of thocky which sounds amazing and it is very responsive. I would recommend!

  10. James

    Amazing keyboard, the wrist support is comfortable and at the perfect angle.

  11. BradenC

    Great keyboard. The macros are awesome with the SteelSeries button to trigger them. The interface on the keyboard and the App are easy to use. I enjoy the adaptable triggers. Overall fantastic typing experience!

  12. Billy

    this keyboard is awesome the switches feel smooth as butter typing is amazing playing games is even better like cod or fortnite

  13. Dallin

    Awesome keyboard! Very easy to customize with their program, adjustable keys for some multipurpose, and they aren’t so loud they sound like I’m using a typewriter.

  14. Unknown

    Overall it’s decent, I don’t know what happened originally but I had to return this because on certain games the profile would automatically switch and the actuation would change to where all keys would always be pressed. The 2nd will change rgb to random colors on certain games. So far it’s only happened on CS2

  19. Caseem

    The best keyboard for gaming purposes…you can change the actuation to 0.2 so that its the fastest keyboard just download the steelseries app and connect the keyboard to your device.

  20. MatthewK

    Keyboard is great, no problems, one thing is a small metallic sound when typing fast can get annoying. Software is alright, I love the OLED screen.

  29. ChristopherA

    Worth the price in my opinion.

  30. LarryD

    Great gaming keyboard very fast and my son loves the sound of the keys.

  31. EvanS

    Super nice full sized keyboard and probably the best on the market. Being able to control actuation point makes the transition between gaming and typing super easy and being able to set gifs on the screen is an added bonus.

  32. tennisstarbyfar

    Fantastic keyboard with a great tactile feeling. Has silent enough keys to work for productivity on Zoom calls as well.

  33. Jeffk

    Great product, the feel of the keys works perfectly and the LED lighting is a great enhancement.

  34. JonS

  35. Justin

  36. Dylan

    Perfect keyboard for gaming you will never need to get a new one after this

  37. ViktorG

    Very comfortable keyboard and very beautiful!
    Recommend.

  38. RogerB

    Very happy with the item and the help that I received from the Best Buy staff.

  39. JeffF

    Ive had many keyboards in my years of gaming and PC building. By far, for name brand, not custom built, this is my favorite. Its sturdy, well-built, visually appealing, and wonderful to type on. It has more settings than you may ever care or need to use – but there if you do need or want them. Ive had Arctis 7 headphones for a number of years now and they are still going. So after my Logi Pro keyboard LED’s started failing, I got this unit. Will stick to Steel Series products from here out.

  40. ThomasB

    I LOVE the mechanical keys and actuation adjustment. I LOVE the way it feels in your hands. I LIKE the color and overall layout and features.

    I DISLIKE that I have had 5 of these in my possession over the last 2 years. The right side of the keyboard continues to short out and require it to be RMA’d. The first one I had it would disconnect itself over and over and would require me to unplug and plug in again. The second one the circutry decided it would type whatever it wanted when pressing buttons. The third one died completely after a month. The 4th and 5th I still have in my possession.

  41. Texel

    Overall it’s a great keyboard. For its price you get exactly what you’re promised and would expect. The entire set of numbers and lettered keys are capable or having their actuation point changed, down to 0.1mm, which causes almost instant activation just by barely pressing the key, all the way up to 4.0mm, which causes you to need to bottom out the board in order to have the key register. With that, they also have the option of another setting which changes the actuation point of how far the key needs to travel upwards before you can press it down and reactivate it. This is super helpful especially for those that play rhythm games. I personally use it professionally to play Osu!, and it provides a smooth and responsive experience. Do keep in mind that as this keyboard does have usb passthrough, you will need 2 usb ports on the back of your device in order to make use of it. The lighting is great, and the knob for volume is smooth. The final thing this keyboard has that I haven’t seen on other boards, is a customizable oled display. You can play animations at 10 fps on it, and it looks phenomenal. The picture attached has 2 keyboards. The black one is the steel series. Board.

  42. Seven

    If you’re a fast typer and gamer, this is the perfect thing for you. My boyfriend tells me everyday he loves it. Especially since you can customize the colors also. Yes it is high in price but it makes up for it.

  43. RochelleH

    The shift button is a little noisy, and the stabilizers are not the best. It’s pricy for what you’re getting. Probably should have bought a cheaper one, it would work the same.

  44. Unknown

    This is a pretty cool keyboard and it works very well. My son likes it.

  45. KamariH

    I think it’s a great use for gaming and the fact it’s a screen top right for you to customize you computer with is crazy to me

  46. NateH

    Perfect for gaming and regular use. Has great fredback and the changing colors are awesomd

  47. JaedenP

    Very good keyboard sounds very good a thocky I would recommend if you got the money for it

  48. ChristophermJ
