And hey, the white backlight on it means there’s no problem seeing what you’re plugging in.
A little odd that it wasn’t a single plug, or didn’t give you more ports on the keyboard (since you’ve got a dedicated connection for it), but there must have been some engineering reason for it. Surprisingly, this also meant that the cord coming off of the keyboard had a two-plug split one for the keyboard itself, and another for the USB port. I also really liked that the SteelSeries Apex 7 included a USB-A port on its frame. All told, pretty simple, and surely a boon if you want or need to make changes quickly and on the fly. To get into the menus, a long press on the button below the scroll wheel drops you in, then the scroll wheel moves through the menu, with a click of the wheel making a selection. You can also have it display information from Discord (and some games), and you can change out the graphic it shows with one of your own, if you so choose. With it, you can dive in and change settings on your keyboard without needing to open the SteelSeries GG software (so, you don’t need to exit your game). Of course, if you don’t always want it, or just need more desk space, the magnets make it super simple to remove.Īnother notable inclusion on the SteelSeries Apex 7 is the small OLED display. Sure, it takes up a little more space, but I grew to like how it raised my hands up just a bit more to get at the keys. I remember those flimsy plastic rests that came with every work computer for a long time, and they just seemed to get in the way. The SteelSeries Apex 7 also comes with a magnetically-attached wrist rest, which I was initially unsure about.
It just gives you that sense of yes, I AM doing something now (even if it’s just typing out an email). This is both from a tactile sensation, as well as the audible inclusion of the clicking. Sure, it’s a slightly louder keyboard (see the video below), but it’s a much more pleasurable typing experience. That said, when I swapped out the 3 for the SteelSeries Apex 7, it’s a very noticeable difference. In our review of the SteelSeries Apex 3, I noted that it gave you the feel of a mechanical keyboard without actually going fully mechanical. The big visual change, of course, is that the keycaps are in white, while the aluminum body is left in its silvery finish. The Ghost version comes with red switches, while the regular one has the choice of red, blue, or brown mechanical switches. By and large, they are the same keyboard. This was a $149.99 limited edition (no longer available) version of the SteelSeries Apex 7 ( $129.99). More precisely, it was the SteelSeries Apex 7 Ghost that arrived.
