First keyboard I ever owned was the Apex 9 mini and while it served its purpose once I upgraded to an actual keyboard I’ll never buy “gaming” again. If you really want it go for it but there’s better options out there and some cheaper too. Look up latency tests and you’ll find a lot of mechanical keyboards really aren’t bad with latency, and the mechanical boards will almost always sound better and feel better.

depending on your budget i have a few recommandations in various price ranges but the best overrall would be the apex 9. you can get the mini,compact,standard, only thing that changes is how many keys you have (number pad, arrow keys), or for the best keyboard for its price you can choose in between Attack shark x68 he (~70€),yunzii b75 pro wireless (it has both bt and wire). If you want more options, let me know your budget.

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.
