    Steelseries’ budget lineup of keyboards are pretty interesting - the Apex 3 is a full rubber dome keyboard that’s selling for £50, and the Apex 5 is an OLED wielding “Hybrid Mechanical Switch” board that costs £110. I can’t say these are exactly for me, but lets take a look and see what they’re like and maybe, just maybe, they will be for you.

    You failed to adapt the review of the keyboard for the users. Users who are looking at these keyboards are looking for something lower cost and quiet most probably, and thus not going for the most expensive mechanical keyboards and switches. This was a rant and not a review.

    • @timliu6870
      @timliu6870 Před 6 měsíci +1

      So true. I was looking for a quiet keyboard, cheap, somewhat water proof, and most importantly, a physical roller or button to adjust the volume. This keyboard is perfect for me.

    • @fleshpistol
      @fleshpistol Před 6 měsíci

      @@timliu6870Exactly. It was perfect for me as well. I use to type at work and type hard. This keyboard feels way less janky than my full mechanical boards due to having the membrane. They feel way better to type all day on when I type harder. I also game in the Apex 5 and it’s wonderful. If I replace I’ll buy another.

    I just bought the Apex 3. Don't really care what any reviews say, it's a really nice looking keyboard IMO and the key placement is very good. I hardly make any errors typing with it, it feels like I've been using it for years. I love the feedback on it, and the sound is quiet but still nice. Full size just how I like em and the pricepoint is value IMO as well. I love it.

  • @propercushty
    @propercushty Před 3 lety +6

    Only thing I don't understand is I just got the Apex 3 and my typing speed went up from 105wpm to 114wpm. Literally just in one day after I adjusted to the Apex 3...and it's silicon dome. Personally I think mechanical keyboards are hype. I have had cherry reds, browns and blues..and I've never typed as fast until today with these silicon domes?
    Anybody agree with this? Maybe I make a video comparison soon
