Apex Pro

It is ngl i got apex pro mini, gk61 ,apex pro , attack shark 68, aula f75 is decent for its price

>the magnetic switches are kind of nice, not super smooth and the difference they provide for when they actuate is barely noticeable, but they are definitely passable >the cherry mx reds in the rest of the keyboard are the scratchiest switches ive ever felt, and ive felt a lot of bad switches >the stabilizers are awful. like genuinely awful. >one of the standing legs on the back broke for me, had to blu tack it and that falls apart constantly >the magnetic wrist rest is nice >the cable is kinda annoying in how it fits on the back but its fine i guess in summary, one of the best gamery keyboards you can get, but that’s still a long way from a custom board.

Pc tower itself, probably around 2K as a very lowball. I would say 1200, but inflation and tariffs (if you’re American) have raised prices along with low availability on parts. THAT is for building a pc. Prebuilt I’d say around 1500-2.3k. The minimum size monitors would be 27 inch Monitors. Those are around 150 (MSI) - to 500 (Samsung like mine). Both can do 4k, both can do 200+ fps My keyboard is a Steelseries apex pro, it was 200 at the time. My mouse was around like 40 or 50 bucks, a g5 hero with customizable weights and a couple extra buttons and a dpi button. You can get both a keyboard and mouse for under 200 if you’re on a budget. And there’s half keyboards that fps players use that are cheaper.

I very much like the Hall Effect one I got from SS. Apex pro I think? Can't remember but it was 'spensive. Adjustable actuation distance on the keys is great.

The chatter on my k70 pro mk2 (5 of them due to replacements) sent me to razer. Loved the black widow pro v3 until... it broke. Cheaply made. Now I have had a steelseries apex pro Hall effect for two years... and no trouble at all with it.

What the poster above implied is that stock of course contactless are the smoothest. When you lubricate a good mechanical switch, however... I beg to differ. I've laid hands and used Wooting HE keebs and Steelseries Apex Pro and I still feel my lubed Marshmallows are smoother (and sound several degrees of magnitude better). Thomas has great reviews and a soothing voice but can be mildly infuriating with some opinions. However, they're his opinions and he's entitled to them and he's mostly correct :)

Second this I got my Apex Pro in near perfect condition for like 50Euro from some mum off FB marketplace bc her kid didn't like it, there was so many good deals on keyboards

apex Pro lets you tweak the actuation, but it's kinda loud. If you want something quieter, try keyboards with linear switches. They’re smoother and way less noisy than clicky ones. The Wooting is neat for customization, but it’s not really quiet either. For more choices, check out keyboardyeti; they have a good breakdown for custom keyboards...
