SteelSeries Apex 5 Hybrid Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – Per-Key RGB Illumination – Aircraft Grade Aluminum Alloy Frame – OLED Smart Display (Hybrid Blue Switch)

Excelentes materiales de construcción, amplias opciones para configurar prácticamente cualquier cosa del teclado y gran comodidad.

Pasé de un teclado de membrana “gamer” Logitech G213 a este SteelSeries Apex 5 y la diferencia puede notarse. Desde los efectos RGB ampliamente configurables a través del software SteelSeries GG hasta el tacto en las teclas y el reposamuñecas (que está hecho de un material de plástico suave al tacto), todo es súper cómodo y de gran calidad.

Algo que me gusta bastante de este teclado es su pequeña pantalla OLED en la esquina superior derecha, que puede configurarse con algún dibujo, algún GIF o con alguna de las integraciones que tiene con algunos juegos o programas. Yo particularmente la uso para monitorear mi sistema y ver la temperatura a la que se encuentra mi CPU y GPU de manera rápida y sencilla sin tener que ejecutar MSI Afterburner o RivaTuner SS. Sin embargo, tal y como vi en la propia página del producto y en algunas reseñas en YouTube, se podía visualizar la canción que estuvieras escuchando en el momento, pero por lo que pude investigar esto solo es posible si usas TIDAL y bueno, yo utilizo Spotify, por lo que esto no me agradó tanto.

El sonido del teclado es notable y puede llegar a ser molesto si no estás acostumbrado o si vives con alguien más y sueles usarlo en las noches a no mucha distancia del resto de personas. El video que adjunto es muy fiel (considero yo) al sonido que obtienes una vez el teclado está en tus manos.

Algo que me gustaría mencionar es que, a pesar de que el teclado venía bien empaquetado junto con otros productos, la caja del teclado en sí venía con algo de cinta extra en varios lados, lo que me hizo dudar un poco en si el producto era nuevo o usado, pero al abrirlo me di cuenta de que era nuevo o estaba en condiciones prácticamente perfectas, por lo que me quedé más tranquilo, pero ese detalle de cinta extra en la caja no me agradó demasiado.

Never knew what I was missing out on before I got this.

So. Worth. It.

I wanted a kind of middle road price RGB keyboard and I am in love with this one. The keys feel very satisfying and loud and clicky. The RGB support is great, I use signalRGB so that was a major selling point that it worked for that. I do wish it had better side controls for audio and even though you can pause spotify or whatever with the top right button it only pauses your last application which can be anything so that can be a bit annoying. The scroll wheel does work well for volume control though.

Overall I do like it a lot, good colour and feel. Recommend for those who want something nice but dont want to drop 200

I am going to write a reasonably detailed explanation of why this product recieved a 1 star review.

I worke din IT for over 2 decades, and I have used computers continuously daily for 4 decades.

This Keyboard had good selling points. It appeared to be durable, has mechanical keys, and configurable backlit keys. Great response timing.

Within a very short time frame, roughly a month, just outside the Amazon Prime return period as I recall, the 2 key stopped working. I went through many many emails with the company showing videos and taking pictures. When they finally agreed to replace the keyboard, they made me cut up the keyboard’s USB cable into 5 pieces, showing the serial number, and all the cut pieces. They actuallyy made me send even more pictures.

Now, about 1.5 years later, I have been going through roughly 1 year of the power cutting in and out of the keyboard because of a fault in the USB cable, with it progressively getting worse. There is some irony in that I could have fixed it with the previous keyboard’s USB cable had they not made me cut it into 5 pieces. More recently, the enter key now always produces a / in addition to a carriage return when I press it.

I’m outside of the warranty period now, and I can say for all the grief I went through, it is definitely NOT worth the $129. I highly recommend you steer clear of this company in general. Thier customer service is terrible. They treat you like you are a liar unless you provide vast amounts of proof. With 2 keboards of the same type in a row failing in such a short time frame, I feel their products are unreliable, and I recommedn you look at a different manufacturer.

I love this keyboard because there was no scams, love the board nice texture perfectly the way pictured it, strong build P.S love the key clicking noises.
I recommend buying it cause it is the best keyboard that’s not to pricy and not to cheap it’s just right very fast response!
The 2 things that I love about this keyboard is The hybrid blue mechanical switches and secondly the OLED screen
The 2 thing that I enjoy playing around with is definitely the illumination because of how creative you can get with it.

Definitely buy this keyboard!
It’s awesome!!!
