Steelseries Apex Pro TKL, Qwerty US

I am not so much into gaming nowadays, therefore one reading this review may consider somebody else's experience how the board performs in games. But for the typing I really like the feel of the switches and I am not missing little bump of my current cherry brown switches keyboard.
Sensitivity adjustment on the keyboards is something cool and one can feel the difference but I ended up with leaving the settings somewhere in the middle of the scale. Maybe with the time I will consider adjusting individual sensitivity of each key which is offered by the software that comes with this keyboard. But for now I am happy with the current settings.
Apart from mentioned earlier adjustment of keys sensitivity, which can go as subtle as adjustment of each individual key, the adjustment of key highlighting and macros definition is equally fine.
Ergonomics and design is nice. Keys risen above the board will let you blow away all the breadcrumbs without the need to remove keys from their fittings.
I am certainly keeping this board for my home use.

Now, I want to put some criticism. But by no means I want to discourage anyone from considering buying this keyboard. I believe the tactile feel from any keyboard should be decisive factor in selection. Having said that, with the price tag this keyboard comes one deserves to know more about things that might be done better by designers of this product.

I find the idea of placement of <Steelseries Fn> function and the way it augments key functions to be a bit underdeveloped.
I called it <Stellseries Fn> button because it is placed where normally either <Fn> or <Right Menu> button can be found on more conventional keyboards. In this keyboard the button can be used in a combination with only 4 keys out of all available on the board which I find to be a real waste of possibilities and in the meantime this key occupies space which many people may prefer to keep for more functionally purposed key. Other keys, like <ScrLk>, <Pause> and <PrtScn> traditionally present on TKL are missing in this one too.

As a result, one can set keyboard profiles in the way, for example, the Ducky One 60% keyboards do, but this will leave them using the keyboard in a way more like 60% keyboard instead of 80% keyboard which this one supposed to be.

When pressing <Steelseries Fn> with combination of <Left Windows key> the former changes its color which makes me wonder whether there is any special purpose of that, but was unable to find the answer to that anywhere.

In addition, manufacturers documentation is very scarce and one has to rely on his intuition figuring out what he can do to his keyboard with the software. To the credit of the manufacturer, the software is quite intuitive so everybody who is familiar with the idea of programmable keyboards will pick it quite easily.

I am also a bit puzzled with the requirement to have this board connected to computer through USB3 port. There are two USB connectors on the board cable, by the way, with another one meant to be a pass-through connector that allows to use USB socket provided on the board body which might be a trend but I personally rarely think of using

With having written all that, I still believe this might be fantastic gaming keyboard, But for coding/office productivity there may be better solutions.
