   Vengo de apex pro 2016, apex 7 2020 y compre este apex 9 incredible. El sonido espectacular. La sensación totalmente diferente a todos los modelos que he tenido. Tiene un textura en las teclas que lo hace diferente esa misma textura lo tiene el mouse arox 5. El software para quienes como yo lo utilizan para hacer macro y cambiar funciones espectacular. Los LED se programan hace de todo lo que tengas en mente. El cable tipo C de alta calidad. Trae la herramienta para cambiar los switch.

   Best mechanical keyboard I’ve used it clicking clacks perfectly and the colored light program work perfectly with the mouse I got with it.

   I’ve had this keyboard for about a year now and it’s really good. I use to use the razer huntsman mini. Pros: I really like the software, coming from the razer synapses software. The steel series software allowed you to make macros and change between using left or right windows keys which is sooo much better than razer. It also dosent impact start up. I also like the really convenient keycap remover that comes in the keyboard, makes it really easy to clean.

   I like the keyboard but I thought it was going to be big but it was small but it is ok

   

8. D. Glass Verified Buyer – 18 October 2024

   This a great mini keyboard to use for gaming. Now I say great for gaming with one exception, if you don’t use F keys and other functions that most full size boards have. Keys have a nice feel, but it was strange using a keyboard this small. Forty plus years of typing on a full size keyboard then trying one that’s 40% smaller. Which brings me to my only complaint. The price, I think it’s on the high side for getting a smaller keyboard. Other brands like CORSAIR, Razer, Logitech have full size gaming KB’s anywhere from $50 -$100 and this one cost more and you’re getting less.

    There is nothing to dislike about this item

    This keyboard is one of the best mechanical keyboards I have ever owned, and I have owned quite a few. The keys are tactile, sound nice, and are high quality. I can easily use with this with my Mac and PC. It’s easy to change the colors and features with the steelseries software for the keyboard. I use this every day and the only thing I regret is not getting the one with the 10 keys on the right side since I also use this keyboard for work in addition to gaming. If you dont need it for work and dont really care about the 10 keys, this is the best keyboard you can get at this price point.

    Bought this keyboard for my husband, he absolutely loved it, performs perfectly and has swappable keycaps to customize your experience! So far 3 months of use and no complaints! He was using a ducky one two mini, very expensive keyboard, and for the cost of this one it performs astonishingly similar to his ducky.

    After countless hours of research on keyboards I can say that this keyboard is actually quite nice. I saw some mixed reviews about the Apex 9 on reddit and go-keyboard.com reviews (and just a lot of mixed reviews about steel series as a brand in general) but I ended up settling on this so I could match my steelseries mouse. After using it for a few days I can say it feels really nice, it feels better than typing on my relatively new $50 gasket keyboard. I know people are gonna say you should just get a Wooting HE or to get the Aula F75, but I like the steel series software and the keyboard/mouse combo feels pretty nice. Deffinetly recomend to anyone who is on the fence about the optical switches over other brands/keyboard types. Also the reviews where people are saying that the opitcal switches have such low actuation (1.0 – 1.5 mm) that you end up mistyping a lot of the time are kind of exagerating, I really do not notice any difference in my typing errors. My only complaint is that the lighting is not as bright as I thought it would be, at night this isn’t an issue but during the day it is slightly noticible, but really that is just a very minor concern; the keyboard feels so nice that I don’t really care. I give this product a 8.5/10.

    Absolute beauty. Keyboard is perfect in every aspect. Keys are perhaps too sensitive due to actuation distance, however, it can only be discomforting for several days, before you get used to it.

    Excelente teclado, cumple con su tiempo de respuesta es cómodo tanto para trabajo y gaming.

    

16. Angelo Verified Buyer – 23 February 2025

    the actuation point is very great and the keybkard feels very high quality and the typing mode that you can switch to is very helpful when im typing. Also very great for gaming. I love this keyboard and its a great alternative if you can’t afford thr apex pro.

    The Apex 9 TKL is seriously fast, almost too fast at times. The optical switches are super responsive, so your key presses register almost instantly. It’s great for quick reactions in gaming, but sometimes it’s a bit too sensitive. You might find yourself accidentally pressing keys you didn’t mean to hit, which can throw you off doing certain stuff. It’s awesome for shooters and games where speed matters, but doing daily stuff may not be the best for this keyboard personally I’m using it right now to type this and as it is fast and everything you also make a lot of typos.

    This is still a very good choice if you are into competitive gaming or gaming in general.

    Great product at an awesome price!!! It costs more than $200+ dollars here and I got it at only $170+!!! An absolute steal!!! The build is premium and feels good! The RGB also looks really good with combination with the build compared to my old Cosair keyboard.
    

20. Billy grey Verified Buyer – 25 March 2025

    Build quality is good, RGB is a bright but could be better. I also like the little scroll wheel at the top right.

    

21. hello Verified Buyer – 2 April 2025

    it was expensive. there’s no doubt about that.
    the customization is amazing tho. I made it so that the bottom right 4 keys are the arrow keys. that way I don’t have to press the “meta layer” button in order to access them.
    –
    the only thing I dislike isn’t even the keyboard’s fault, but a fault in the steelseries gg software. it doesn’t carry over custom profiles across different PCs.

    My son was excited to received his keyboard 27 Dec 2024. However the keyboard was missing a lot of keys, filthy with white dust, cat or some animals hair all over the outside plus in the cracks, and sticky. It seemed to work but not what was expected.
