Worth the price
This is one of the best keyboards i've bought so far. it has a hefty price but worth it. This keyboard is incredibly fast having a customizable 4.0 actuation point to all away down to 0.1 making it incredibly responsive. Another neat feature this comes with is a screen with a bunch of settings that are customizable. The sound is alright but its mainly based on performance. if you want a better sound and slightly more responsive i'll recommend getting the gen 3 apex pro but more expensive. Overall Amazing Keyboard especially for competitive gaming

Gammers dream
This keyboard has all the bells and whistles with some tassel to add. It literally has everything a gamer is looking for with omnipoint 2.0 switches you get above 8000 htz polling rate, dual action keys, rapid response and adjustable actuation for every key. Along with the fact it’s all wireless. This keyboard is a game changer in games you can utilize this stuff. The only singular thing I possibly could say isn’t the best maybe the clackyness while typing not that it’s bad I don’t mind it but to be picky lol I prefer the sound of the Rog scope ii 96. However that keyboard has none of the gamer functions this keyboard contains. This keyboard for me is highly recommended.

Blue LED burned out and also a warning about sellers and warranty
I decided to replace my old Apex Pro because I had multiple LEDs with one of the colors burned out. I purchased this item seven months ago and the blue LED on the Tab key burned out. After googling the issue it seems this has been happening to many people at around the one year mark.Apparently the keyboard I purchased was from an unauthorized seller "Hot Audio" and Steel Series does not provide a manufactures warranty in those cases.From Steel Series""We are so sorry to inform your product is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty through SteelSeries directly. Although the vendor you purchased from has sold you the device, they are not an authorized re-seller. They will have to go to their distributor to handle any RMA claims. What this means is that you will need to file a claim with your vendor to have the device replaced. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."From Seller "Hot Audio""Hi, We are really sorry for the inconvenience But its after the 30 days return window"So two take aways, every Steel Series keyboard I have owned has the LEDs burn out and also their LED screens used in various products tend to burn in, my newest keyboard had the LED burn out just after seven months and I shut my PC down at night. If you are not careful with who the seller is Steel Series will not honor the manufacture warranty and neither will the seller "HotAudio"I ordered a new ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless Gaming Keyboard and will never buy another Steel Series product again.

Excellent Keyboard
Great-looking keyboard. Lights up like a Christmas tree. Built-in battery will last for weeks before needing to be recharged.

One of the top 3 mech boards
If you are like me and looking at this board, you may be getting frustrated at how hard it is to find that nearly perfect board that should exist, when you're willing to drop over $230.Pros:- Omnipoint switches work as advertised -- if you like super fast response time, you can't beat these. These switches also have excellent bounce and no ping.- PBT keycaps are nice, and switch cross-stems are compatible with a lot of after-market keycaps. Overall a solid thock.- Unlike other small wireless boards (ahem Logitech G915 TKL...), this has no rattle- Very light and quite compact even among TKLs, makes for a good portable board in a TKL case.- The volume wheel is very satisfying.Cons:- Firmware issues, firmware issues all around. There are some updates available, but even with it, the battery indicator is botched. My first piece would refuse to charge (as far as I could tell) until it was nearly drained. The second unit charged, but the battery indicator would be all over the place based on what was going on, ranging from 30% to 80% within a 4 minute span! Which is accurate? Who knows.- Also, the battery life kinda sucks. Typically lost over 50% charge with moderate LED lighting in 5-6 hours of use with an aggressive sleep timer set. Other boards lose barely 15% with this amount of usage.- The keyboard doesn't wake up very fast, and it doesn't register the keypress you used to wake it up. Leads to missed keystrokes often, especially if you set a low sleep timeout to conserve battery.- The only Caps lock indicator is the LED color of the key becomes white (which tbh is kinda blue, see below) when active. This is really hard to see quickly, and there is no option to use the superfluous OLED screen for this. Overall the OLED screen would have been better used for lock or battery indicator lights. This is kind of a big QoL issue for me that could be easily resolved with OLED firmware.- LEDs are kinda off. Blues are too strong, reds very weak, and have heard of folks having issues with LEDs dying, with no easy repairability.- Despite how nice the switches are, they don't feel as good as gasket-mounted/dampened switches. The spacebar is a huge offender, with no stabilizers it is jarringly louder than every other key, but is one pressed quite often so it makes you sound like a really bad drummer. It's hard to not compare this board to others at this price point that sound way better (see: ROG Azoth).- The USB-C 2.4Ghz transmitter is quite chonky as far as transmitters go these days (again, see ROG Azoth). This makes it project a good bit from your computer, making for a prime cable-snagger. On top of that you likely need a USB-A adapter or extension cable, which is one more component that is a failure point, takes up space and hampers portability. There's also no dock in the keyboard for them (which they could have easily accommodated) for portability.The cons list outnumbers the pros by just a little bit much for a $200+ keyboard, hence why I returned it. Ultimately the ASUS ROG Azoth was the first and only $200+ board to check the features I wanted while having fewer cons than pros. Still, the Apex Pro TKL is a clear second, with some advantages that might tip the scales in its favor if those are more important to you.
