Coming from Cherry MX Browns, I had some reservations about OmniPoint. The Browns have a tactile point which I liked. I had tried MX Reds, and wasn't a fan of the linear feel. With these Omni switches being linear, I was unsure but somehow compelled to pass on the Apex 7 with MX Browns and go Pro. TBH, I was half expecting to return it. Needless to say.... I was surprised when I hooked this up!
First off... dat switch. Wow. SUPER smooth. The inherent scratchiness of linear MX switches is GONE. It feels like the keycaps are just sort of floating over the brushed aluminum base. The adjustment ability is unique compared to most mechanical boards, bringing a true Hall Effect switch to people. (Look up Hall Effect... gets a little complex for explanation here, but very cool) Actuation can be adjusted from a light brush on the keys (probably overkill) to making the switch bottom out completely. This can also be done on a per key basis. Lot of range to play with!
Another key strength... the RGB lighting. Its nothing short of fantastic. The raised caps let the bright and vibrant lighting spill over the board itself, creating a very cool and clean lighting effect. Even for those who don't much care about RGB lighting, it's very tastefully done here.
Typing is unreal. I spent 15 mins just typing random weirdness on a word doc just for them feels when I first hooked it up. And for some reason, I find myself with a lot less errors compared to old board with the Browns. I'd commonly get keypress duplication (as if I held the key down) with that switch, and with these Omni switches, it doesn't happen anymore. Of course, these Omni switches are much quieter than the tactile Browns given their linear nature.
Not much bad to say here. Some minor gripes would be somewhat "meh" software from Steelseries and the keycaps being ABS instead of something like double-shot PBT caps. The latter feel much sturdier and more premium, and I suppose one could buy some PBT caps if it was a huge issue. Not sure how that would affect the lighting though. The small B&W OLED screen in the upper right doesn't add much in reality, but its kind of a geeky fun thing that you can customize with whatever you want. It does have some functionality with brightness and other features, which is nice to have versus having to use the software. Also, only the primary keys have Omni switches. All the F keys, num pad, and extra function keys are on a generic linear switch that feels good enough. Would be nice to have all keys on omni switches, but it makes sense from a cost perspective and isn't a big deal to me.
All in all, fantastic keyboard that towers over my old Gskill in every respect. I really wish MS terrible updates hadn't bricked old board, but I guess things happen for a reason. If you have the cash and want a great analog-based mechanical keyboard with adjustable hall effect switches.... this is the one for you. Very hard to fault this board. Steelseries done good here.
The best thing for me, and this is HUGE are how the keys feel. The best way I can describe the tactile feel is the perfect amount of back pressure (and my description falls super short of the actual feeling).
The model I purchase was the quiet mechanical.
The only negative I saw on this keyboard is it has two USB connections to plug in, this may be an issue if your goal is to use it with a laptop.

The programmable keys make a HUGE difference when going between typing and gaming, and with the Steelseries software it's extremely easy to set up. I went into it assuming the programmable keys were more of a marketing gimmick and never actually intended on adjusting them...but that changed when I realized that they're definitely a feature I'll use.
The RGB is nice and bright and very customizable with the software. Lots of options for colors. Something to note, they board turns on/off keys white when active (caps lock, num lock, etc stay white when on). This confused me at first, I thought the LEDs in my NumLock key were broken because it stayed white. Definitely not an issue, but not a feature that's pointed out anywhere either.
The OLED screen is the one part of the keyboard that I'll admit, while cool, is a bit gimmicky. It does have it's use for sure, like changing saved profiles without the software, but it's not necessary. It's a neat little addition that allows another level of customization, but I feel Steelseries could have left it off and made they keyboard $10 less or something. It gives the "pro" keyboard a premium feel, but seems wholly unnecessary once the "neatness" wears off.
Overall it's a great keyboard, definitely a purchase I'm glad I made. If the board holds up, which I think it will, I'll definitely look into other Steelseries products in the future.
Top reviews from other countries
The SteelSeries Apex Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard represents a significant leap forward in the realm of gaming peripherals. This product, with its unique adjustable actuation switches and extensive feature set, secures an outstanding score of 9.6 out of 10.
The Apex Pro's star feature is undoubtedly its OmniPoint adjustable switches. These switches allow you to alter the actuation point to anywhere between 0.4mm to 3.6mm, catering to your specific typing or gaming needs. Whether you want lightning-fast actuation for rapid in-game responses or a deeper actuation for typing accuracy, the Apex Pro provides an unmatched level of customization.
This keyboard also impresses with its robust build quality. The aircraft-grade aluminum frame is sturdy, designed to withstand intensive usage and providing a solid base for the keys. The keyboard also features an appealing aesthetic, with a clean, minimalist design that can fit into any gaming or working setup.
The Apex Pro's RGB illumination is another standout feature. Each key is individually backlit, and the colors are vibrant and crisp. Combined with the SteelSeries Engine software, you can customize lighting to a remarkable degree, from solid color schemes to complex, reactive effects.
Extra features like a USB passthrough, a detachable magnetic wrist rest, and dedicated multimedia controls further enhance the user experience. The keyboard also includes a small OLED Smart Display that can show game info, Discord messages, and more, adding a touch of convenience and novelty to your gaming sessions.
However, despite its numerous strengths, the Apex Pro may have a couple of minor drawbacks for some users. Its premium features come with a high price tag, which may be a deterrent for those on a tighter budget. Additionally, while the adjustable actuation is an excellent feature, it might take some trial and error to find your optimal setting.
In conclusion, the SteelSeries Apex Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is a top-tier product for any serious gamer or typist. Its unique adjustable actuation switches, robust build, personalized RGB lighting, and thoughtful additional features make it a standout choice. While it comes at a premium price and may require some fine-tuning, the Apex Pro offers unmatched customization and quality that make it well worth the investment.
