SteelSeries Apex 9 TKL Gaming Keyboard 64847

Positives: Keycaps feel great and the material quality is solid SteelSeries GG is nice Reaction time is insanely good Stabilizers are very well done Volume knob works and feels fine Overall build quality feels premium Negatives: It has onboard memory, but you can’t save a simple static single-color RGB profile to it Sound is extremely bad (subjectively) Replacement switches cost almost as much as the board itself Feet could be a bit stiffer when folding Keycap puller stored on the bottom feels unnecessary Volume knob placement is a bit awkward to reach Would you recommend this product to a friend? I’d say it depends. Technically, it’s solid, fast, and feels great to type on, but the poor sound, no proper onboard RGB, and the fact that you can’t choose your switch type at purchase make it hard to fully recommend.

I’ve been using the Apex 9 TKL for about a month now, mainly for gaming but also some typing. The first thing you notice is how premium it feels. The aluminum top plate gives it a solid and high-end touch, and the keycaps feel durable. The cable could’ve been a bit softer and more flexible, though. The optical switches are insanely fast, honestly maybe too fast at times. I still occasionally press the wrong key even after a month, so it definitely takes some getting used to. Once you do, though, it’s super responsive for gaming. The RGB lighting is next-level, tons of customization options and even ready-made effects, which is fun to play with. The sound is pleasantly quiet, though my mic sometimes picks up the spacebar. Overall, it’s a premium and speedy keyboard that shines for gaming but might need a bit of an adjustment period if you’re coming from something slower.

The keyboard has a good amount of keyboards, but you should only spend the money of you are into competitive gaming. If you play a lot of pvp shooter games, this is a great keyboard. Only reason it got four stars and note five is that it isn't ergonomic.

Love the adjustable key height. To much positive to list

I won this on a google play prize thing. It's great quality, much nicer than anything I've ever been able to afford myself. I love the colors and the clacking sounds when you type! I do wish it also had the number pad on the right side but beggars can't be choosers and I'd definitly recommend this brand to anyone in the market for a fun keyboard!

I won this keyboard so I didnt have a choice in model (would prefer a number pad) but regardless, its a great keyboard would recommend!

My kids love it never even get to use it because they always on it

Thx steelseries for that keyboard I hope I see wireless one

I mostly bought it for the RGB and I love mechanical keyboards

I won this keyboard through Google Play and it is the best I've had thus far!

Keyboard itself is wonderful, feels good, works well and gives a very high quality impression. However I decided to return it, as any real change required the software to run in the background. Sorry, but I don't want this. If it was possible to save the settings at the onboard memory, I would have been very happy. But any real change to illumination requires the software to run in the background. So, great product, but ...

It is a really good keyboard with great features, especially with the steelseries app. Easy to use and to customize. The LEDs are bright and can be dimmed. Quality is excellent for the price point.

Had this keyboard for a couple months works great really touchy RBG are great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you very much this is the best brand ever I try for sure I will keep buying this brand I highly recommended to all people out there

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This keyboard is awesome and built so well! I like that there are two different levels for the kickstands and the rubber feet hold it in place well. Typing on this is awesome with the instant response time and I appreciate the extra solid keycaps. I love the customizable lighting and the braided USB C cable too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this keyboard, it works great for my games and also makes typing easier in the dark. I love that it lights up and is so easy to use. I would use this for my everyday computer use if it had the ten key pad, but it is perfect for gaming. It is great quality and performs smooth.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m not a gamer, yet a work from home kinda gal who loves to spruce up everyday items. Came across this online and needed to get it for work. Been using this for nearly a month now and quite liking the bounce to the keys. Dare I say it is helping me type faster (maybe because I’m enjoying using this with all the fun colors). Colors are bright and fun, they are not distracting or hurts your eyes after a while. It’s a perfect hue for anyone’s lifestyle. Throw away your old keyboard and get this beautifully one instead!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an awesome keyboard. The size is perfect for me. It's a ten keyless design so it really helps with my gaming without those keys in the way. The keys are smooth, durable, and very fast. It seems like there is no delay when the key are pressed which is awesome when you want to be fast. This is because of the 2 different modes. Ultralight pressing is great for gaming and the deeper presses of the keys helps me when I'm doing normal computer work. The keyboard also lights up which is neat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loved this keyboard. The lights are his favorite part as he can change the colors. He also likes the keyboard key click sound. Removal of the keys for cleaning is easy with the attachment provided. Would recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an awesome looking keyboard. The colors are nice and vibrant. My only concern is that it’s not super ergonomic and my cause wrist issues after long use.
