SteelSeries Apex M750 TKL, Compact Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Tenkeyless, Per-Key RGB Illumination, 6 Macro Keys, UK QWERTY Layout

This keyboard is great for gaming and I also love doing my coursework on it. Its a great keyboard and the QX2 switch's have great feedback coming from a HyperX keyboard with MX Brown switch's the keys feel better and more responsive and the keys are slightly larger than normal so are easier to press. For "linear" switch's they do have a somewhat tactile response which is pleasant. For gaming the keys are slightly louder than reds and browns but over all feel better in my opinion. This is easily my favourite keyboard that I have ever bought. Even though the price is somewhat steep I wont be replacing this keyboard anytime soon.

Really great keyboard, keys are slightly louder than my girlfriend's m500 keyboard. However the colours are great and very bright. A joy to use

This is amazing , so much better than our previous keyboard! not just the lights but the sensitivity of this keyboard is really good too. Also you can have gifs or pictures playing on the keyboard with the lights

This review is for the M750 TKL:There are quite a lot of reviews on here but some are for different keyboards in the Steelseries range so I thought I would give my opinion on the TKL version of the M750 as there doesn't appear to be many reviews of it in this section.If you are after a TKL board there are not that many choices really and they all seem to be priced quite high, with Amazon pricing of the 750 isn't too bad compared to the competition. Construction is first class and very solid. The attached cable is a non-braided version which I prefer and it is nice and flexible so desk routing is fairly easy. The cable is also permanently attached to the keyboard.There is no USB pass-through or any other features like some other keyboards like dedicated media keys although you can adjust volume and other features with the f keys. When wanting to use media functions it is quite nice as you press the Steelseries logo and all the functions are highlighted in a different colour to the main colour of the keys. You also are able to lock the windows key which is handy for gaming.There are 3 led indicators below the Steel series logo, from top to bottom is 1)Caps lock 2)Scroll lock 3)windows lock, which is activated by pressing and holding the logo and then Windows key. The indicators are set to white light, it would have been nice to be able to change these to a different colour as well but this is nitpicking.RGB; I am not a massive fan of crazy RGB colour combos but having per key RGB is a great feature, I normally just keep a uniform colour over the entire keyboard so it's nice to be able to change it up every now and then to freshen up your desk. Brightness goes to insane levels and can be changed via the keyboard. You can also do basic colour changes via the keyboard using the logo button with INS,DEL,Home,End. You do get a light bleed under the keys due to the nature of the mechanical keys but it does not look bad IMHO. The only slight let down is where the LED's are located makes the number keys not quite as bright ie the symbol looks a little brighter than the number on the same key. That being said you can still clearly see the numbers. To go full crazy RGB you have to use the Steel Series app, colour combos are then pretty much unlimited.Keyboard noise may be something to consider, as this is a mechanical keyboard if you are using it in a shared room it may start to annoy people around you as it does make quite a loud clack on each keystroke, reading reviews this isn't regarded as the loudest keyboard but it is near the top. My desk seems to amply the sound so I have ordered an extra large mouse pad to insult the noise a little bit. If your primary use is long typing sessions it may get annoying. The key activation is also very light so for touch typing, it may also lead to some input errors but for gaming it is great which is what it is really intended for.You can adjust the height of the back of the keyboard, included in the box is another set of rubber feet that you can swap out, it is isn't a quick solution so it's more a set it and forget really, the keyboard is angled slightly so I found the lower feet to suit me better, if you like changing up the angle depending on your task bear this in mind.The Steelseries app that you can download is also very good IMHO, 3rd party apps tend to be utter junk and this app looks like it had a lot of work put into it, you can do lots of adjustments and if paired with other SteelSeries products you can set everything together, no complaints here.It would have been nice for Steelseries to include a wrist rest in the box that is sized to the keyboard, at this price level I think it's a bit cheap on the part of Steelseries as TKL wrist rests are not easily available and this is a premium keyboard.Overall I think it's a decent bit of kit, there are not that many good TKL keyboards and this while expensive is not crazy high in price. Its designed really for gaming and in that role it works great, there are no gimmicks really just a solid build and great responsive keys if a little loud ! The faults I have pointed out are really minor and to be honest I would consider them nitpicking and they haven't made me regret my purchase. I am still getting use the keyboard but I am happy so far.Cons:Keys are quite loudRGB a little uneven in some areasNo included wrist restPros:Solid constructionVery responsiveCompact sizeGreat App to control everything (separate download)Edit: I added some keyboard dampeners (small little o-rings) which have really improved the noise levels of the keys, they help stop the harsh bottoming out sound of the keys without wrecking the nice feeling of the keystrokes.Kit used was: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XFGHDG5/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I love the keyboard. The keys feel so soft to use, its small and perfect for me. Unfortunately I bought the UK keyboard which makes the Tab and Shift key very small( I didnt know this happened before I bought) but not the keyboards fault. 10/10

As per headline, disappointing level of quality. 1 LED failure within 3 months, now 3 keys (. / RSHIFT) all failed within 11 months. Disappointing.

Great mechanical keyboard with tons of functions and the layout is really compact. It is , however, the noisiest keyboard on the planet. :)

Keys are sensitive and takes some getting used to. Beautiful keyboard would easily buy again and syncs well with mouse.
