Adjust settings and see on-the-fly info straight from your game, music, or Discord...all without tabbing out of your game. Software-free customization for saving up to 5 unique profiles locally on the keyboard, from game to game and on-the-go, including actuation distance, per-key RGB, and more. A simple magnetic solution for easy and secure attachment, full palm support, and a durable soft touch finish. A clickable metal roller and media keys allow you to adjust volume and settings on the fly: change brightness, rewind, skip, pause and more, all at the touch of a button. Avoid crawling behind your desk: insert a flash drive, wireless transmitter, or USB device directly into the keyboard, and choose where the cable exits the keyboard. The Series 5000 metal frame is manufactured for a * of unbreakable durability and sturdiness. ## Features - OmniPoint adjustable switches allow for customization of actuation distance from 0.4 millimeter to 3.6 millimeter - OLED smart display: An integrated command center for adjusting settings and tracking on the fly info straight from your game, Spotify, Discord, and more - RGB Illumination unmatched customization with 16.8 million colors per key - Premium magnetic wrist rest: Provides full palm support and comfortable, ergonomic feel - International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Antenna Location | Gaming | | Asin | B07SVJJCP3 | | Best Sellers Rank | 37,827 in PC & Video Games (See Top 100 in PC & Video Games) 1,411 in PC Gaming Keyboards | | Box Contents | Magnetic Wrist Rest | | Brand Name | SteelSeries | | Button Quantity | 104 | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Gaming Console | | Compatible Operating System Family | MacOS, Windows | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,958) 4.6 out of 5 stars | | Enclosure Material | Aluminium | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Is Electric | Yes | | Item Dimensions L X W X H | 14L x 43.7W x 4.1H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Keyboard | | Item Weight | 971 g | | Keyboard Backlighting Color Support | RGB | | Keyboard Description | Gaming | | Keyboard Layout | QWERTY | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | SteelSeries | | Manufacturer Part Number | 64626 | | Mechanical Keyboard Switch Model | steelseries_omnipoint | | Minimum Required Operating System Version | Windows 11 | | Model Name | Apex | | Model Number | 64622 | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Number Of Keys | 104 | | Number Of Packs | 1 | | Power Source | Wired (USB) | | Product Features | Magnetic | | Series Number | 64622 | | Style Name | Wired | | Switch Type | OmniPoint | | Upc | 813682029432 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SteelSeries - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Gaming Console - **Connectivity technology:** USB - **Keyboard backlighting colour support:** RGB - **Keyboard description:** Gaming - **Product dimensions:** 14L x 43.7W x 4.1H centimetres - **Recommended uses for product:** Gaming - **Special feature:** Magnetic - **Style:** Wired ## Images ![SteelSeries Apex Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – Adjustable Actuation Switches – World’s Fastest Mechanical Keyboard – OLED Smart Display – RGB Backlit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HmUNj01VL.jpg) ![SteelSeries Apex Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – Adjustable Actuation Switches – World’s Fastest Mechanical Keyboard – OLED Smart Display – RGB Backlit - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71etL+5odQL.jpg) ![SteelSeries Apex Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – Adjustable Actuation Switches – World’s Fastest Mechanical Keyboard – OLED Smart Display – RGB Backlit - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617wl6Dz2TL.jpg) ![SteelSeries Apex Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – Adjustable Actuation Switches – World’s Fastest Mechanical Keyboard – OLED Smart Display – RGB Backlit - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61R+GVaRXQL.jpg) ![SteelSeries Apex Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – Adjustable Actuation Switches – World’s Fastest Mechanical Keyboard – OLED Smart Display – RGB Backlit - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61kDlLZFBZL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern Name, Size Name, Style Name** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: what does it mean manufacturer warranty wont apply? Pretty sure manufacturers are required to provide warranty on electrical goods by law?** A: Because the seller probably bought them a while ago and it’s run out. Because by statutory law when you purchase you have 1 year standard, so I’d assume that it’s over 1yr old since the seller bought them. **Q: What is the difference between this apex pro tkl and the apex pro tkl for £219?** A: I believe that the £219 one is export from EU, which is more expensive for some reason, but this one has direct import from the U.S.A, hopefully that clears it up **Q: Is the apex pro tkl a us keyboard layour or uk, is the symbol on the number 3 key a us dollar or a uk pound?** A: The one i got was US layout it will tell you somewhere. I couldn't get away with the keyboard the keys mis-press with the slightest touch. I've since replaced it with a Razer Huntsman Elite which is much better imo. **Q: Is the apex pro us or uk layout?** A: Uk ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Keyboard *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 3 October 2021* Good Switches for typing and also for Gaming Does everything that Is needed also fun profiles that can be adjusted without needed software updates but software updates make this keyboard even better with the fact that every key that's needed can be individually customized. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very happy with this product *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 1 November 2019* Both not to like.
