Never watched a review that good and that informative ever. You explained everything perfectly and covered anything you have got to know. Well done!
Thank you!
This is a good review. No irrelevant bs. No random shots that takes away from the product. Just straight to the point and staying on topic.
Indeed
i got my steelseries apex 7 (blue switches) yesterday, kinda didnt expected them to be that loud .. actually was about to send it back, but i fell in love with this keyboard last night .. it looks so awesome and feels just great
Very good review! Structured, concise and to the point. It should have more views! One thing: During the sound test, I wonder if the microphone wasn't just a little bit too sensitive. It get the feeling that the keyboard would be a bit quieter IRL than in the test.
Arexodius thanks for the feedback!
Blue switches are always loud
I have heard people complain about the blue switches but for me they are perfect, the engagement on the keys is super smooth and you can use it without too much sound if you don't want it to
But i wanna say that adz made much great videos on deep web KEEP IT UP MAN YOU'RE GREAT
I’m still thinking if I should get this keyboard tkl version or huntsman mini 🤔🤔
then how do i change the lights of the keyboard that you showed us 12:05 how do i open that up plzz explain?
Best review ever
Deserves more likes
for the price the box and extra stuff could be better but i guess the oled panel and rgb takes all the money
i think im gonna buy the tkl version of this keyboard ty for the rewiew!
me too. lemme know when u get one
@@keshavthapliyal6437 Mine is here ! its so great i first thaught the screen wqas gimmicky but its actually kinda awsome and the keys just feels amazing the rgb is great and i have so much fun costomizing it also i was supriesed at how good the hand rest feels its this hard sort of rubber its amazing!
@@Brik2246 im worried about not having the prtsc button on the top right cuz i use it literally every day for screenshots. so is that an issue and does steelseries do anything to help with it?
@@keshavthapliyal6437 oh I think that's a missing feature with the tkl version yea... I don't know of there is any replacement for this... I admit I didn't even know it was used for screenshots so I don't feel restricted with the tkl version I never felt the missing buttons were a problem but yea that might be something to take into consideration for you... I mean I don't know if there is a replacement or an option to fix your problem but... Overall I think this smal problem shouldn't stop you from buying the product it's a great piece of equipment I love it a whole lot but if the missing of the button bothers you That mutch the non tkl version would be the thing to go for I mean they feel the same and you don't have the missing key so idk you have 2 options but defenatly stick to apex 7 in my opinion :) tkl or non tkl
@@Brik2246 hmm thanx for the feedback. im still considering the hyperx alloy origin with the aqua switches aswell so yeah i havent rlly decided yet
Oh sweet Steel Series 6Gv2 will be hands down the best keyboard they ever produced... RIP your flashy cousin will be replacing you x
the video that you recorded got some ghosting, if you haven't noticed it. Otherwise Good review, thank you!
So is it worth buying?
convinced me
Can you please leave the link?
i am typing on this keyboard right now and i love it so much. I got the blue switches which is very reccomended.
is it loud?
i really wanna get one but i need to know if it’s actually loud cus i rly like loud keyboards
Just got mine with red. It so good to use. And switches are far better feeling then outemu red in my previous kb.
How is it now?
this or k70 mk2?
This keyboard: 599 Meanwhile Black Friday:598
really??? isn't it like 200 dollars??
@@clazzo6231 nah its 150 but the tkl version on Amazon UK with blue switches is 120 right now
Aman best buy 120
Bruuv its only 170 not including tax
I got it for $130 Canadian during Amazon Prime Day.
I am new to keyboards. I would like this keyboard, but I’m not sure what keys to get. I like them to be clicky, quick, and if need be, loud. Let me know. I know some are clicky and some are silent but I am not sure which ones are which. Thank you!
Don’t think this is necessary but, blue and green are the loudest, browns are in the middle and grays reds and black are more like silent but no thatttt much
I`m getting this for my b-day. i bought the Razer Huntsman mini thinking it would be mechanical (which is normal for razer boards) but no, red linear switches (Insert puke emoji). I think i`l be more than happy with this keyboard. 3 more days!
How is it?
7:25 I've been told that the num lock (and the caps lock) will turn white if active. You may need to install an update.
Is this apex 7 waterproof.
I don't understand the "USB passthrough" feature. Heavy cable, two USB connections each time you want to use your keyboard. No point to it: you lose one, gain one. Either provide a real USB hub (that makes you "gain" an extra USB port) or forget it altogether!
I don't understand it either
the clicky part wasn't that loud
So can you make the keyboard wireless with wireless plugs ?
No, a wireless keyboard needs batteries to run, I don't know how you're gonna make this keyboard wireless when it doesn't use batteries. This is a wired keyboard.
Drill a hole in your table it would look wireless
I would love to buy this but I can’t find one in TKL and with blue switches anywhere!
On the steel series website! I just got mine
Jackson McCabe they all say out of stock for me! Is it because I’m in Canada?
I just found one at micro center today for my new build! The guy said “I can’t believe we still have this..” lol I guess lucky?!
guitarboarder06 the website just got restocked! Bought one, ships tomorrow
Josh Cadoo Woo Hoo!!
Wait I have the same keyboard and mines is red not blue any tips? How do I switch it
You need to buy blue keyboard switches
What are the key caps made out of
Abs, but they are good for abs caps :0
Huntsman elite or a Apex 7?
When I was buying my keyboard, (idk why) but I was not going for Razer keyboards. My personal opinion would say Apex 7.
is it hot swappable? and what type of switch that they're using?
No I don't think it is hot swappable. They are their own switches, very smooth. You have three versions, red, blue and browns.
@@eliasamiand299 i bought one =D
@@eliasamiand299 can I change switches? Because I ordered blue switches
@@boaz7710 nope
@@eliasamiand299 they use gateron switches but they are still very good.
3:10 HAHAHA!
Hmmmmm
oeps
Is the RGB per key or Zones?
Per key
Thx
Who else was a daily gamer and now because of the corona virus you game once a week
Opposite for me. I played once or twice a week before but now I play every day. That is why I am here because I want a new keyboard lol.
@@pearlio7297 agree. I’ve been gaming more.
Now tell me how that makes sense lol.
Is this keyboard hot swapable?
Nope
They out of stock for like months
I've got a problem with this keyboard, it stays lit all the time, my computer has asleep mode, but does this keyboard have one?
Pretty sure it does. You can set an amount of time and if you want it to dim or completely shut off
Well the rgb’s to turn off
You can set it in the software I believe
Sound test is out of sync
I wish i could afford this it’s my dream keybaord but I’m poor so can’t afford so rip
What can you afford
Datboi 415 nothing I’m broke
Datboi 415 u most likely from sf cuz 415 huh
you can afford a phone are you dumb
stone cuh how do you know I have a phone
Is this apex pro or is it different?
the apex pro uses omnipoint switches whereas this keyboard uses normal switches, that's basically the only difference
@@Yuusin you can't chage the actuation
@@ameer.maqbool on the apex pro u can
@@Yuusin he's telling you there's more then just switch differences, duh.
@@jakea3950 he literally just said u cant change it
Can u remove the switches
Pretty sure you can’t, I saw different reviews too, and it didn’t come with a switch puller. (usually keyboards that you can remove switches comes with a switch puller)
sold me
The sound of a nightmare : 11:07
milk?
bro get a new table before a new keyboard
Is blue better than red?
Blue is loud a clicky while red it linear and less loud I believe
@@cartopronnie779 Ok thanks
@@mxllow1804 blue is way better for typing and accuracy due to tactile and audible feedback. Reds is eat faster and less fatigue on the hands so best for spamming keys in certain games.
Brown would be somewhere in between red and blue. It's quieter than blue, but it still provides some tactile feedback. There are also other switches, but red, blue and brown is what the Apex 7 comes in. Which is better will depend on your preferences.
@@Root174 ok thanks
Спасибо за обзор! Я тоже купил себе Apex 7 и сделал собственный подробный обзор, если интересно, приглашаю в гости к себе на канал, там ещё много разных других обзоров😉
If anyone is gonna buy this I suggest brown there very quite and the best sounding in my opinion
"Aircraft grade aluminum" ....because bicycle grade aluminum doesn't sound as appealing. Lmao honestly though that aluminum is not special you will see with some research but it is godsend from the plastic days..
0:36 Are you a MURDERER?
i dont understand
@@Beegmann he has a knife

blue switches should be burned
