is the keyboard wireless?

No, this keyboard is not wireless.

Any support for Ubuntu, or, if I set the colors in Windows, will they stay?

Seems there was a forum for that here is the link https://askubuntu.com/questions/366446/get-macro-keys-on-steelseries-apex-keybord-to-work Seems they may have had that working and I am not sure if they have it set up to work with all Steelseries seems to have fairly good support as well.

What's the difference between this model 64470and the steelseries 64145 ? both are apex 350, but different model numbers, why?

The 470 is the later model while the 145 is earlier. The only thing different was the software really. Mechanically they are basically the same. I have had both of these at one time. Be aware these are not cherry switches..... but the keyboard is nice.

should I go with the regular apex or the 350

All depends on what you are into regarding gaming. The 350 has 22 macro keys and 4 layers. So 88 macro keys. Do you need that? Colored lights are just hype IMO and in my case they don't work. They do work when you set them up in the engine, but they don't work on the keys. Also, at that price point you are still not getting 'mechanical' keys. I personally have not had good luck with Steel Series products so I am not the person to advocate any of their products. Here are some alternative brands to consider; Corsair, G.Skill, Razer, Asus. Good luck in your search and Happy Holidays
