r/keyboardsWhat do you think about the Apex 5? Is it a good budget keyboard?
7 months ago

I have one and I think it's nice. A soft clicky sound and almost linear feel (click bar, but basically no tactility.) It definitely feels like a proper mech while still being membrane driven. The switches are removable if you want to mod it. I would only suggest that you find a cheaper one on eBay because $100 for a new one is a bit much.

Don't recommend it. I like the quality and how the keyboard feels. But it has some weird issues, for example: certain button combinations will not work, like Alt+F for some reason

LCD and OLED screens on keyboards are dumb and useless depending on your positioning. Had a SteelSeries keyboard with an OLED screen to which I never used for the 7 years I used it.

SteelSeries Apex. It's big AF and I like it.

I have been really pleased with mine for about 2 years. Then it started to go bad (bad led and key getting stuck), and Steelseries support has been absolutely awful. I’ll wait for it to definitely die then I switching to another one.

r/keyboardsI want to buy a 75% keyboard for competitive gaming

I've literally just swapped out my 80HE for a Lemokey P1 HE and couldn't be happier. On paper the 80HE has better raw performance , but there's zero difference to me. I wanted one keyboard to do everything, and I hated typing on the Wooting. Not to mention the build quality is just terrible. I've also used a Razor Huntsman V3 Pro and hated the typing on that too. Steelseries Apex was pretty good, but again, just wasn't it and I hated the looks. The P1 has so far been the best all round keyboard I've ever used. Some might be better in certain areas, but they're nowhere near as well rounded. It's also the best typing feel on a HE keyboard I've ever used, and beats out 98% of mechanicals I've had.
