I just bought a Steelseries Apex 7 TKL with red switches as a birthday gift for my little sister.

Will most any keycaps from Amazon fit the keyboard? I'm thinking of including hyperx pudding keycaps or some other kind with the keyboard.

Little to No Support, Constantly Malfunctioning

I really wanted to love this keyboard. It checked all the boxes I wanted: A TKL keyboard, a pass-through USB (which, annoyingly in this age of USB 3.0's massive throughput, still requires two USB ports, though this could be to avoid driver issues), RGB lighting, and a little screen. I was really let...

I bought my first mechanical keyboard today. I got the Steelseries Apex 7 TKL with red switches. I didn't really do much research on what to by, because I got this form a -50% sale and it seemed to have a lot of good reviews. However after my laptop keyboard, these keys just feel extremely sensitive and light.

Poor quality control and customer service treats the customer as the problem.

UPDATE: After trying to get support from Steelseries, they (SteelSeries, NOT Amazon) wanted videos of the broken key, documentation, photos and stated that I would get an RMA. They then decided that I should just send it back. They would repair or give a credit for something from their store. No tha...

I hate it. I rushed out and bought a Steelseries Apex 7 TKL w/red switches to save some space on my desk but had considered the Ducky One 2 Mini/SF.

It was my first mechanical keyboard and I've loved it from day one. I very briefly had a Daskeyboard 4 Professional and didn't like it (can't remember why - I just got a MT2 at the same time and loved it so much more).

An Amazing Mechanical Keyboard

The Apex 7 TKL is my first mechanical keyboard and I absolutely love it. I chose the blue switches cause I really enjoy the loud and clicky keys. The RGB illimitation is bright but not over the top, and is pretty accurate in terms of color preciseness. The sleek and slim design of the keyboard is ve...

10yr Razer Advocate Quitting Today

I’ve used Razer gaming mice for 10+ years and a few keyboards sprinkled during, but my new and current favorite KB is the SteelSeries Apex 7 Pro. When I got it last year, it was being rated as the best gaming KB by most of the reviews I read.

Great Keyboard. Sounds/Feel Great.

I have no complaints about this keyboard itself. The wristrest is a little hard, but that's just my opinion. I already had a wristrest so I didn't even consider it part of the purchase. I used to have a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate and recently switched to this SteelSeries Apex TKL w/ Blue Switches. Th...
