    you dont even talk about how the OLED screen when paired with something like AIDA64 doubles as a pc status monitor, something you beloved corsair fanboism seemed to gloss over in your "review" of a product.

    I cant believe u recommed Corsair over this. They are notorious of horrible space bars even on their high end models but otherwise are excellent keyboards. I sent my k65 back because the Shift key and spacebar feel spongy making running difficult in Apex legends.

      Listen homie, while I fully agree that Corsair doesn't have the best durability (I don't have one, but my friend does and his keyboard is absolutely totalled.) while this guy recommended Corsair over this, he also said that it was purely his opinion. Don't flame him too hard.

    The criticism about the missing macro keys doesn't bother me, since any key can be a macro key thanks to the meta layer. Just assign a macro to a key under the meta bindings, then press meta (between right win and right ctrl) plus whatever key you assigned the macro to. I use this for work to insert frequently used SQL commands into my code.
    As a bonus, you can save keypress macros to the onboard memory so you can use them on another computer without the software installed (like I do for work).

    Had to start looking at other options when my Logitech G910 Orion Spectrum started double typing on the A and U key, going through the options the K95 platinum XT looked great... But I do not like spungy wrist rests and they did not offer Nordic layout for brown switches, the G513 from Logitech had the same "issue" of the spungy wrist rest, Steelseries do not tick all the boxes but I can bind macros to the numeral pad and their wrist rest is the best by far... I miss my K95 rgb 2014 edition, the best feeling keyboard I have ever had by far but I fucked up by buying red rather than brown switches and I wanted the tactile feedback hence why I went with the Apex 7 over the Pro og Corsairs k100, I just can't deal with linear switches.

    I just ordered a Steelseries apex 7 because I've been having problems with my Corsair mk2 K70. The irony, lmao. I do love my Corsair but it just keeps disconnecting during games. I'll hang onto it and continue troubleshooting it but for now I want a reliable keyboard and this Steelseries one looks like it'll do the job! Thanks for the video.

      i have the corsair MK2 as well but not so impressed. i was surprised how big it looked on my desk (compared to my friend's apex, which looks more subtle).
      not being low profile means it can also collect dust/dirt very easily. one of the hinges on my corsair wrist rest also broke after a few months of usage, that thing is really fragile. kinda regretted haha

    Lost an LED under a key after a couple of years, and I didn't like the linear switches but I think that's probably just my preference, really hard on my fingers over time. Getting a cheap hot swap now to avoid the lock in of a soldered board. I'm not sure if mine is the apex 7 but I'm pretty sure and I doubt they changed much since it looks exactly the same. The wrist rest was nice though as well as the mouse USB outlet. Always love a full keyboard.

    My apex 7 has failing switches not even 12 months in - I probably wont be buying steelseries again.
    Namely; ALT, NUM-0, P - - getting rather frustrating for a keyboard that cost over £100. Sometimes keys will double press too.
    I think i'm going back to corsair after this flashy trash. Works okay for the first few weeks / months but doesn't last. No steelseries gear EVER lasts since the siberia v2.
