Product details

The integrated OLED Smart Display provides information directly from games and apps. The RGB lighting is customizable for each key individually and can be synchronized with other SteelSeries gaming gear. The mechanical OmniPoint switches offer an adjustable actuation point ranging from 0.4 to 3.6 millimeters, allowing for perfect adaptation to any situation and individual needs.

N-Key rollover and 100% anti-ghosting ensure lightning-fast responses in games, while the detachable magnetic wrist rest provides essential comfort during long gaming sessions. The Apex Pro also features three built-in cable channels for maximum desk organization, as well as a USB passthrough port for connecting a flash drive, mouse, headset, or smartphone.

All settings can be saved on the Apex Pro's onboard memory with five profiles, and the multimedia controls allow for on-the-fly adjustments of volume, brightness, and sound settings.

... Die Apex Pro lässt sich sehr individuell an den User anpassen, was vor allem beim verstellbaren Druckpunkt der Tasten ein wirklich überzeugendes Feature ist. So kann man beim Spielen ein sensibles Auslösen festlegen, während beim normalen Tippen der Tastendruck wieder fester ist...

  • NegativeOLED-Display nur ein nettes Gimmick
  • Negativeungemütliche Handgelenkauflage

Die Steelseries Apex 5 mit ihren mechanischen Hybrid-Schaltern ist vor allem für diejenigen eine gute Wahl, die sich eine Gaming-Tastatur mit klickend auslösenden Schaltern wünschen und gleichzeitig nicht an der restlichen Ausstattung sparen wollen, aber dennoch nicht allzu viel Geld ausgeben möchten. Klar ist die Apex 5 ein Kompromiss aus beiden Techniken, aber insgesamt kann die Hybrid-Lösung überzeugen...

230 Euro sind viel für eine Tastatur. Diese ist allerdings innovativ, langlebig, sehr flexibel einstellbar und von hoher Qualität. Die Apex Pro ist auch für Spieler geeignet.
