Cool product, happy with the purchase, maybe Ill buy it again.

In principle, a good keyboard, if not for its price. I took it to try keyboards from SteelSeries and supplement my fleet of devices from this office. Let's see how long it will live and "throw" something interesting during operation.

Pros

Good mechanics with hybrid blue switches. Nice design, not too loud keys, customizable RGB lighting, detachable wrist rest, the ability to remap any keys, a small monochrome OLED display (can be used for notifications, for example in Discord, or just hang a gif for fun), multimedia keys for control sound and all sorts of players, the ability to throw the cable to a convenient side, macros. A separate plus for me personally is two WIN keys. I always turn off the left WIN, because I often accidentally click on it in games, while the right one is on and it’s convenient for me to use it.

Cons

- Huge price. The keyboard is not that AT ALL WOW to charge 13k for it (10700 at a discount). The price of her thousand 7 from strength. And it's sort of like SteelSeries' special pricing policy for 2022/Europe. Since in the US the keyboard costs $100 (7400 at the current exchange rate). - Poor backlighting of 2022 letters and some symbols (on the number keys). - ONLY NUMBERS are applied on the numpad. All sorts of Page Up, Page Down, Home, etc. no one even thought to apply. - Personally, I don't need a numpad at all. But the Apex 5 TKL variant does not exist in nature. - The small Enter key and the layout of the slash key is just awful. - OLED display and applications for it work rather crookedly. Rather, it's just pampering rather than a really cool necessary thing.
