6/29/2023 0 Comments Apex 7 keyboardThe hybrid switch only lasts for 20 million keystrokes in comparison to Cherry MX’s 100 million. The only downside to the hybrid switch is the durability is not rated as quite as high. Surprisingly, the hybrid switch is actually quite nice, it emulates the feel of a Cherry MX Blue and is loud and clicky. The hybrid switch is a cross between a mechanical switch and rubber dome switch, which I assume SteelSeries made so they can save on cost and offer a “mechanical” keyboard at a slightly lower price range. Hybrid Switch: Part Mechanical, Part Rubber Dome The build is actually more impressive on the Apex 5 as the keyboard is in a lower price range, but is the exact same – minus the USB passthrough. The Apex 5 is only offered in the full-sized layout and similar to the Apex 7, has the aluminum top plate build with the plastic back. The Apex 5 is an interesting keyboard from SteelSeries, as the keyboard is quite unique with a hybrid switch. You can find the SteelSeries Apex 7 on Amazon through this link for a pretty competitive price. The keyboard is priced in the mid-to-high range, but we feel it could be great pick for someone who needs a gaming keyboard that’s loaded with different features and won’t be moving it around too much as the non-detachable cable makes it difficult to take with you on the go. The stabilizers feel good and they are not too loud or shaky sounding. The Apex 7 also have USB-passthrough so you can plug an additional USB port into it. The keyboard feels well-constructed although it does have a slight flex to it. The Apex 7 has an aluminum top plate and volume wheel with a plastic back. We preferred the more compact TKL layout as it fits better on a smaller desk and looks more aesthetic with a slightly squarer shape to it. The keyboard also comes in two different layout sizes: tenkeyless(TKL) or full-sized. The Apex 7 is a mechanical keyboard that comes with your choice between a Red, Blue, or Brown SteelSeries-branded switch. The Apex 7 is the best keyboard from SteelSeries, in our opinion. We’ll explain our entire thought process for how we chose the best SteelSeries keyboard. The results may surprise you, as the most expensive product does not rank number one – and for good reason. Let’s kick off the list with our favorite keyboard from SteelSeries and work our way down to the worst.
