Product details

The Apex 5 combines the frictionlessness of a membrane switch with the increased durability and performance and satisfying tactile click of a Blue mechanical switch to deliver a premium gaming experience
where you don't have to choose between one or the other.

Personalize the OLED display with your favorite GIFs, a quick view of important info about your game, incoming Discord messages, settings, and other options.

The 5000-alloy metal frame is incredibly sturdy and durable, making it the perfect centerpiece for any high-end setup.

The perfect keyboard accessory with an easy magnetic solution for uncomplicated and secure palm rest attachment and durable soft touch surface so you can type and play comfortably for as long as you want.

Adjust volume and settings on the fly with the clickable metal wheel and media keys: Change brightness, rewind, skip, pause, and more at the touch of a button.

Prevents your cable from getting overly strained or in the way. The frame has built-in channels with three possible outlets for your cable to keep your desk tidy.

The Steelseries Apex 5 with its mechanical hybrid switches is a good choice especially for those who want a gaming keyboard with click-trigger switches and at the same time do not want to save on the rest of the equipment, but still do not want to spend too much money. Of course, the Apex 5 is a compromise of both technologies, but overall the hybrid solution is convincing.
