Frequently asked questions

The Adjustable Actuation feature allows you to customize the sensitivity of each individual key. That means you can set keys to a higher actuation for typing or lower it for gaming, where quick response is typically needed.

The USB Passthrough is a feature that allows you to connect another device (like a mouse or a headset) directly into the keyboard. This can help in reducing cable clutter on your desk and make it easy and quick to connect and disconnect devices from your computer.

The term 'World's Fastest Keyboard' refers to the Apex Pro's unique mechanical switch design that provides the fastest reaction time and the shortest travel distance among keyboards in the market. Essentially, it improves your response time whether you are gaming or typing because the keys register the input quicker.

The OLED screen on the Apex Pro acts as a mini-dashboard on your keyboard. You can use it to adjust settings, keep track of system information, and even display custom images or gifs.

Cons

  • 😕 Heavy typing may wear out the finish on the keys rather quickly.

I finally had the opportunity to invest in a high-end keyboard, and after doing a lot of research, I decided to go by SteelSeries Apex Pro Full Size. I play rhythm games, in which I need to press several buttons at the same time. I am glad that this keyboard has Full N-Key Rollover. So far, I have tested 53 keys pressed at the same time, and it registers all keys with no problem. The switches also feel so smooth to the fingers. One comment that I have, is the fact that instead of a normal [Menu] key next to the [Right Ctrl] key, there is the [SteelSeries] Key. In other keyboards, next to the [Right Ctrl] key, there is the [Menu] key, which helps to deploy context menu when you cannot make right-click nor have access to a mouse. When I was playing, I accidentally press this [SteelSeries] key with my palm, and while I do, other keys stop being registered, since the [SteelSeries] key only combines with [Left Windows] [F9] [F10] [F11] and [F12]. I wish this keyboard had a normal [Menu] key instead of this [SteelSeries], but it is my personal preference and maybe bias because of how I am used to normal keyboard layouts. This personal inconvenience can be fixed with the "SteelSeries GG" Software, which allows you to customize the key bindings as you wish. I reprogramed the [SteelSeries] key to behave like a normal [Menu] key, and now I can play flawlessly, even when my palm rests over the [SteelSeries] key. All in all, such a wonderful product, ready to use it at its most! ... show more

Got this from my son’s birthday and he is obsessed! He said it is the best keyboard out there and it has changed his gameplay. I have no idea how a keyboard can do that but I’m so happy that he’s happy. If you have a gamer and they’re in the market for a keyboard, apparently this is the one to get!

I bought this back in 2020 and it served me well for 2 years. Started bugging out or sending unintended key strokes would disconnect several times. Switched to other brands wasn’t the same. Bought it again and it’s good.

This keyboard feels so comfortable and I love the sound feedback. I’m still getting used to the features to make the most of gaming but I’m loving the upgrade from the apex 3 keyboard. Won’t have to use another keyboard after this one.

    • Among the best keyboards I've used, BUT... (updated review)
Size: Apex Pro Style: Wired
UPDATE: I still really like this keyboard, but I was starting to notice that I actually type really inaccurately on it - it does get annoying. I just make a lot of mistakes, and I've been typing for 40 years and normally type about 100wpm. I was trying to figure out why this is, and lately I've had my old IBM Model M in the room hooked up to another computer and have felt the obvious difference in accuracy. (The Model M is where the modern keyboard layout comes from.) I still just type much better on the Model M. So I directly compared the two keyboards to figure out what the difference is. Obviously the Model M is bigger overall, but my big realization is that the actual key layout on the Model M is slightly wider. It's not just a difference in the "dead space" in between keyboard sections, either - there is actually slightly less space between each key on the Steelseries keyboard. I've compared all the keyboards I've owned against the Model M and while some have had minor layout variations and most these days have the function keys much closer to the main keys, this is the first time I've seen keys that were actually closer together. I'm sure it's not the only keyboard like that, but it's the only one I've owned that is and it explains my typing inaccuracy on it. I've taken a star off my original review for that reason. It is just not a full size keyboard, even though it looks like it is. It feels cramped, and I've never gotten fully adjusted to it. My original review is below: ---------------------------------------- For the price, it had better be good. And it is. My score is 5 stars but consider it more like 4 1/2 rounded up. A bit closer to 5 than 4; not perfect but nearly so. I'll explain. I'm both a typist and a gamer, but these days probably more of the former than the latter. Still, I try to find keyboards good for both purposes, and many are - heck, the old IBM Model M is still a great gaming keyboard if you don't need n-key rollover (and to be honest, most people really don't). But my old Motospeed keyboard, which I loved for its feel and its small footprint (as small as it gets for a full size keyboard) seemed to just wear out - it started repeating keypresses constantly, so I decided I'd just go for something new rather than try to fix it. (But I probably will fix it at some point; it's a great keyboard too.) This is the first linear keyboard I've owned in many years. I usually prefer clicky keyboards and have since the days of the original IBM PC and the Model F. But I just wanted something different after owning clicky keyboards for so long, and my Motospeed was *really* clicky to the point that it did become a little grating after a few years. I'd read about the wonders of the OmniPoint keyswitches in the Apex Pro and I watched the excellent Chyrosran22 review of it on YouTube (search for that; he knows keyboards and he loves this one). I did also manage to try one out for a brief few minutes, though not long enough to really form my own opinion. But in the absence of any more obvious choice, I took the plunge and bought one. Bottom line: It is a really well built keyboard (almost zero flex) that feels *almost* as good to type on as any linear keyboard I've ever used in about 40 years of computing. It has double-shot keycaps so the legends won't wear out, it's got a really useful volume roller, and it's got a little screen that can be used for various things, most of which are kinda dumb but I do use it for displaying current system stats - there is an app to display CPU, GPU and RAM usage. Its backlighting is pretty bright, fully RGB and has some effects that are actually kinda useful - I'm not sure what the effect I use is called, but it just lights the key you press up in white for a half-second or so before smoothly fading it back to whatever color the rest of the keyboard is backlit in. It's actually helpful to have a little split-second feedback showing which key you just typed, just in case you make a mistake. The OnmiPoint keyswitches do feel great - very smooth - and they're user-adjustable in terms of the actuation point. This is unique to this type of keyswitch, which is an uncommon magnetic sensor type of mechanical switch. I will say that I *feel* more accurate on this keyboard than my old Motospeed - I think the design and spacing of the keycaps on this keyboard is maybe a little more standard. So, that's that - now I'm going to tell you about the *little* things that keep it from being perfect. Keep in mind that absolutely none of these are dealbreakers, or things other people might even necessarily think of as drawbacks. But... The cord is non-detachable and it's quite stiff. It's also just rubber insulated, which is fine, but kinda ugly on such an expensive keyboard. The keyboard has two USB plugs, one for the USB port on the keyboard itself (it won't act as a hub, just a pass-through), and that USB plug is on the left side of the keyboard. That means if you want the keyboard cable on the right, which the cable management on the back of the keyboard lets you do, your mouse cable will still be on the left. I feel like this is an odd design given that most people are right-handed. A choice would be best, but if you're going to pick a place for one USB port, put it on the right. Only the "main" keys are OmniPoint - that's everything in the little "typewriter" cluster, that main rectangle of letters and numbers that you type the most on. The others are either Cherry MX Red or some kind of copy of them. To be honest, I'm not sure which switch I prefer! I know which I'm "supposed" to prefer but the regular Reds on the rest of the keyboard seem to have a very slightly lighter weighting. Probably my only semi-serious complaint about the keyboard in general - and this is 100% subjective, so it's not a top-line item for this review - is that the OmniPoint switches are just a *tiny* bit heavier than I like, and probably as a consequence of that feel very, very slightly "mushy" as you reach full travel. The switches on the rest of the board, while very slightly "grittier", are also a tiny bit lighter and do not feel mushy. All that said, I will allow that someone else could feel entirely the opposite. This is personal preference, and anyway it's not a big difference. But there *is* a difference in the switches on different parts of the board, and it does sometimes feel a little odd as a result. After only several *days* of use, the soft-touch finish is already wearing off several of the keys. Now, you can see by this review that I type a *lot*. So it may take longer for you, and anyway the legends themselves will never wear off since they're doubleshot. But my space bar is already looking a little ugly with one part of it already noticeably shiny. I never understand this - my Model F and Model M that are 30+ years old still look brand new, while a keyboard that's only days old (and cost a couple hundred bucks) already has a finish that's wearing off. Overall, though, I think I'll be happy with this keyboard until I get tired of linear keys and want to go back to clicky. But who knows when or if that'll happen. At the moment, I'm pleased with my purchase, even for the money. This thing does feel like an expensive keyboard. ... show more
