You can change the actuation point of the keys so you don't need to press them all the way down. Review: I am writing this after my kid dumped a large mug of chocolate milk on his SteelSeries Apex Pro. He didn't clean it up immediately so it had time to spread. When he tried it, about the only thing that worked was the tilde key. I've been in IT for years so I figured I'd try to clean it up before trashing it. It was already totaled so why not try, eh? Liability statement: If you try to clean a keyboard this way, it is at your own risk. Don't blame me if something doesn't work. So, I decided to take this apart and literally wash it. I was impressed with how sturdy the keyboard is. They have tons of screws that create a strong attachment from the circuit board to the casing. The USB/power cable is anchored really well inside the case. The casing was also very solidly screwed together. There are good protectors keeping the cable from shorting the main board and also good guides for the smaller wires. Some engineers put some time into the design of this and did a good job imho. Taking off all the keycaps was easy. But I found the switches couldn't be removed without dealing with desoldering, etc. which I've never tried before. So they stayed in. After I got the main circuit board removed, I literally washed it - twice. I could see areas where the chocolate milk was dried on the board and it was a bit goopy. I put the board in a large sink with a bit of dishwasher soap and some vinegar and shook it around. There were some areas the milk needed to be scrubbed off with a gentle brush. It was a testament to being a good product since none of the board solders came loose or seemed impacted by the scrubbing. Then I rinsed it well under cold water. I did this twice. I also did this with the top portion of the case which included the led display in the upper right corner. Then I let both dry outside in the heat but not in direct sun for 2 days. I hand scrubbed the bottom part of the case since it had tape that was working as vents or something I didn't want to ruin. I put it back together with very low hopes. Son of a .... if the thing didn't work perfectly. Even the LED screen worked and had retained the memory with my kid's macros and custom mini led screen drawing. So, this review doesn't address all the advertised features. There are many video reviews that can tell you more. My kid thinks it is great and leaves the thing on all night so he can see the leds flashing. His macros work well. The keycaps washed off well. The switches literally were soaked goopy liquid that dried and then in water and worked just fine after proper drying. My kid got pissed off once and banged the space bar hard enough to break it in two but even that didn't hurt the switch or the risers. (Some superglue fixed the space keycap). I'm not an expert in keyboards like this but I can say this thing is a beast, solidly built. For us, this was a great choice. I hope this helps you make a decision on your keyboard. Good luck. ## Features - Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Heavy Duty Design - OLED Smart Display RGB Backlight ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07SVJJCP3 | | Additional Features | Backlit, Wrist Rest | | Amazon Bestseller | #313,357 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #3,316 in PC Gaming Keyboards | | Antenna Location | Gaming | | Brand | SteelSeries | | Button Quantity | 104 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,917) | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Is Electric | Yes | | Item Type Name | Keyboard | | Item Weight | 2.14 Pounds | | Keyboard Description | Gaming | | Keyboard Layout | QWERTY | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | steel | | Model Name | Apex Pro | | Model Number | 64622 | | Number of Keys | 104 | | Series Number | 64622 | | Style Name | Contemporary | | Switch Type | Mechanical | | UPC | 813682029432 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SteelSeries - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Keyboard Description:** Gaming - **Material:** Metal - **Model Name:** Apex Pro - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Gaming - **Special Feature:** Backlit, Wrist Rest - **Style:** Contemporary ## Images ![SteelSeries Apex Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Adjustable Active Switch - World's Fastest Mechanical Keyboard - OLED Smart Display - RGB Backlight - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HmUNj01VL.jpg) ![SteelSeries Apex Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Adjustable Active Switch - World's Fastest Mechanical Keyboard - OLED Smart Display - RGB Backlight - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71etL+5odQL.jpg) ![SteelSeries Apex Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Adjustable Active Switch - World's Fastest Mechanical Keyboard - OLED Smart Display - RGB Backlight - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617wl6Dz2TL.jpg) ![SteelSeries Apex Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Adjustable Active Switch - World's Fastest Mechanical Keyboard - OLED Smart Display - RGB Backlight - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61R+GVaRXQL.jpg) ![SteelSeries Apex Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Adjustable Active Switch - World's Fastest Mechanical Keyboard - OLED Smart Display - RGB Backlight - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61kDlLZFBZL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this come with the Mac command key like other apex models do?** A: No, but Macs can use nearly all keyboards built for Windows PC, whether they are USB or Bluetooth, but you may notice that the layout of some of the modifier keys are different on a Mac keyboard from the layout of a Windows keyboard. Specifically, the WINDOWS and ALT key of a Windows keyboard are switched compared to the Mac keyboard layout of OPTION/ALT and COMMAND keys. This can lead to erroneous keyboard shortcuts or other unexpected key press behavior when using a PC keyboard with a Mac. A simple solution to this problem is to remap the Windows and ALT key and the command and option/alt keys on the Windows PC keyboard connected to the Mac, so that the keyboard layouts will mimic expectations based on the standard Apple modifier key layout, rather than what it says on the PC keyboard. For most Mac users who connect a PC keyboard to their Mac, this will dramatically improve their typing experience when using a PC keyboard. Using a Windows PC Keyboard on Mac with Remapped Windows & ALT Keys This trick works the same with all Windows and PC keyboard with the standard CTRL / Windows / ALT key layout, and all versions of Mac OS: Connect the Windows PC keyboard to the Mac as usual, either by USB or Bluetooth Pull down the  Apple menu and choose “System Preferences” Click on “Keyboard” Choose the “Keyboard” tab and then click on the “Modifier Keys” button in the lower right corner of the preference panel Choose the PC keyboard from the “Select Keyboard” dropdown menu at the top of the Modifier keys screen to insure you are modifying the proper keyboard connected to the Mac Click the dropdown next to “OPTION Key” and select “Command” Click the dropdown next to “COMMAND Key” and select “Option” Click “OK” and test out the newly remapped keyboard keys * Once finished you will have a new digital layout of the Windows PC keyboard keys when used on the Mac: WINDOWS key becomes the ALT / OPTION key on Mac OS ALT key becomes the COMMAND key on Mac OS * NOTE: Some PC keyboards also have the “CNTRL” and “ALT” keys switched too, compared to a standard Mac key layout. If applicable, go ahead and switch those with the same Modifier Key trick outlined above. A simple way to confirm the keyboard modifier keys are switched as expected is to issue a keyboard shortcut, like a screen capture (Command Shift 3) or a Close Window command (Command + W). It should work as you’d expect based on the Mac keyboard layout. Obviously this isn’t going to change the actual physical keyboard appearance, so you’ll have to get used to the appearance of the keys saying one thing, but doing something else. But if you are mostly a touch-typer and never look at your hands when typing this shouldn’t be an issue. Essentially you are reversing the Windows PC keyboard Windows and ALT keys (which become the Command and Option/ALT keys when connected to the Mac), which puts them in line with the default Mac and Apple keyboard layout of those buttons. Thus, the Windows PC keyboard Windows key becomes the new ALT / OPTION key on the Mac, and the Windows PC keyboard ALT key becomes the new COMMAND key on the Mac, just like it would be on an Apple keyboard. **Q: Does this keyboard have anti ghosting or N-key Rollover?** A: Yes 100% anti ghosting and N rollover on all 84 keys **Q: Does the apex pro have a clicky or linear switch?** A: Not clicky at all. There is an impact of the keycap if you push it down all the way and when it springs back up, but there's no other tactile or audible feedback. **Q: Is the only difference between the 7 and the pro the omnipoint?** A: Yes, I think that’s the difference. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic gaming keyboard *by C***R on August 28, 2022* It looks amazing, the software has no issues, the lights are pretty, and its not that loud.

Good luck. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by P***R on March 8, 2020* When a rogue Win 10 update took out my Gskill KM780 RGB unexpectedly, I had to pull the trigger fast on a new KB instead of having to endure using my spare membrane board. After a solid day of research, I took a chance on the Apex Pro. Coming from Cherry MX Browns, I had some reservations about OmniPoint. The Browns have a tactile point which I liked. I had tried MX Reds, and wasn't a fan of the linear feel. With these Omni switches being linear, I was unsure but somehow compelled to pass on the Apex 7 with MX Browns and go Pro. TBH, I was half expecting to return it. Needless to say.... I was surprised when I hooked this up! First off... dat switch. Wow. SUPER smooth. The inherent scratchiness of linear MX switches is GONE. It feels like the keycaps are just sort of floating over the brushed aluminum base. The adjustment ability is unique compared to most mechanical boards, bringing a true Hall Effect switch to people. (Look up Hall Effect... gets a little complex for explanation here, but very cool) Actuation can be adjusted from a light brush on the keys (probably overkill) to making the switch bottom out completely. This can also be done on a per key basis. Lot of range to play with! Another key strength... the RGB lighting. Its nothing short of fantastic. The raised caps let the bright and vibrant lighting spill over the board itself, creating a very cool and clean lighting effect. Even for those who don't much care about RGB lighting, it's very tastefully done here. Typing is unreal. I spent 15 mins just typing random weirdness on a word doc just for them feels when I first hooked it up. And for some reason, I find myself with a lot less errors compared to old board with the Browns. I'd commonly get keypress duplication (as if I held the key down) with that switch, and with these Omni switches, it doesn't happen anymore. Of course, these Omni switches are much quieter than the tactile Browns given their linear nature. Not much bad to say here. Some minor gripes would be somewhat "meh" software from Steelseries and the keycaps being ABS instead of something like double-shot PBT caps. The latter feel much sturdier and more premium, and I suppose one could buy some PBT caps if it was a huge issue. Not sure how that would affect the lighting though. The small B&W OLED screen in the upper right doesn't add much in reality, but its kind of a geeky fun thing that you can customize with whatever you want. It does have some functionality with brightness and other features, which is nice to have versus having to use the software. Also, only the primary keys have Omni switches. All the F keys, num pad, and extra function keys are on a generic linear switch that feels good enough. Would be nice to have all keys on omni switches, but it makes sense from a cost perspective and isn't a big deal to me. All in all, fantastic keyboard that towers over my old Gskill in every respect. I really wish MS terrible updates hadn't bricked old board, but I guess things happen for a reason. If you have the cash and want a great analog-based mechanical keyboard with adjustable hall effect switches.... this is the one for you. Very hard to fault this board. Steelseries done good here. ## Frequently Bought Together - SteelSeries Apex Pro HyperMagnetic Gaming Keyboard — Adjustable Actuation — OLED Screen — RGB – USB Passthrough​ - SteelSeries Aerox 5 - Holey RGB Gaming Mouse - Ultra-lightweight Water Resistant Design - 18K DPI TrueMove Air Optical Sensor --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.uy/products/725162184-steelseries-apex-pro-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-adjustable-active-switch-worlds](https://www.desertcart.uy/products/725162184-steelseries-apex-pro-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-adjustable-active-switch-worlds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Uruguay* *Store origin: UY* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
