Review on Gaming keyboard SteelSeries Apex 5 RU Black USB black by Jnis Banders ᠌
I like it, thanks for the quality product.
In general, the keyboard is excellent, although I'm not a fan of high switches. Before that, there was the Apex M800, a great clave with low, short-travel mechanical linear switches, but it fell into a well-known trap for similar keyboards - the keys began to stick, repeatedly pressed and skipped. Therefore, I had to change it, the choice fell on the same Apex line, at first I thought about Apex Pro, but it costs 2 times more, but it feels the same. Since I'm not a professional player, I don't need the actuation height adjustment, and the mechanic wanted it not because of its "mechanism", but because of the feel. I watched a video on YouTube - everyone says that it is indistinguishable from mechanics. In fact, it is, so if the problem that I described above does not concern you, this is an excellent keyboard for your money. : The display is cool, but unless you're sitting high above the keyboard, you won't see it, so it's more decorative marketing than functional. Yes, and the permission does not allow almost anything to be inserted there. ate: It's been two weeks since I contacted SteelSeries support. I was offered to replace it under warranty, but since I did not buy the keyboard in 2022, they refused to deliver it to me, as a result of which I stay with my keyboard for a long time. And there's nothing wrong with that, I saved money but lost my warranty. If you buy a keyboard in 2022 - just contact the seller, in the hope that he will not throw all the blame on you, and they will replace the keyboard for you under warranty. I had to change the control keys in Forza Horizon to nearby ones, and now I do not feel any problems with the keyboard. The review used to have 3 stars, but now I've changed it to 4 stars. Let the problem with taps not bother me, its very presence does not allow me to give 5 stars. HOWEVER, as I wrote earlier, it is possible that this is just a special case or marriage, so check the keyboard in the store. Other than that, it's a cool keyboard. (Please do not dislike if you do not write complaints in the comments)
- Qualitatively assembled, looks beautiful, a sense of mechanics with the advantages of a membrane.
- The most important nuance that I met is that when I press the D button along with any other, then some of the keys simply stop being pressed. This only happens with the D key. Now I'm trying to figure out SteelSeries support, because the problem, apparently, is not of a mechanical nature, but of a software one. This is a big problem for me because I play Forza Horizon and I use the " ] " and " ' " keys to upshift and downshift, so if I go on the gas (" w ") and turn right (" d "), when trying to reset the transmission, then I will not be able to reset it. This is terribly annoying, which is why I can’t play ranked races at the moment. If you use the same control layout in racing games - first try in the store if the combination "W + D + ]" works and then take it. It is worth noting that I bought the keyboard in the USA, since it costs almost 2 times cheaper there than in 2022, so this problem may not exist in 2022 models.
