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.
