  Pleasant touch and very (too) configurable

  This is my first mechanical keyboard, I can't judge performance compared to other keyboards, but compared to my APEX300 membrane keyboard that I wore out after 9 years of good service, it's certain that mechanical is more solid than membrane. Not only for gaming, when typing text, the keystroke is pleasant and precise, the "click" confirms the keystroke. One star less for the GG Steelseries software, which deserves to be simplified. It's a gas factory, but if you like tinkering there are an infinite number of color settings and parameters on this keyboard.

  Makes coffee

  Very suitable for everyday use, it can be customized quite well which is practical for the lighting effects of its setup, nothing more to say

  Problem with the "Z" key

  As an FPS gamer, I use the Z, Q, S, and D keys very regularly. In the three years that I have had this keyboard, the Z key has stopped working properly twice. The first time was after two years, but I was lucky enough to still be under warranty and they replaced it for me. A year later, the same thing happened again.
  I think this type of keyboard is designed for this kind of use, so I don't understand why the famous "Z" key deteriorates so quickly. Overall, the keyboard is good but remains fragile for regular use.

  Buy Steelseries Apex 5

  Wanting to choose a keyboard, my choice fell on the Steelseries Apex 5. A very good keyboard however that emits a lot of noise despite the switches I chose. Thanks to the LDLC service, I sent it back with a very fast return service.

  Great, if you don't hesitate to turn it around

  One of the keys on the first copy I received became defective after two months. After returning it under warranty, no more problems.

  Great keyboard

  After scouring the test sites, I decided on this SteelSeries keyboard.
  Let's say it right away: the finishing touches are exemplary. The keyboard looks really nice, the OLED screen is a bit gimmicky and the LED lighting is really, really good.
  I was apprehensive about the key noise, but in the end, the click is well marked without being intrusive.
  The packaging is classic and the presence of a magnetic wrist rest is an undeniable plus.
  I give it 9/10 because I find the software that drives the whole thing a little light and the explanations are sketchy.
  As for LDLC, they are as usual perfect from start to finish.
