Thanks, nice video.
really good review
I bought the Apex 5 as my first mechanical keyboard last year but the blue switches were starting to get annoying to listen to. Just bought an Apex 7 with brown switches and it's a much better experience for me. No longer does it keep people up when I'm typing!

Thanks :) I use the apex 5 and apex 7 in different setups, i dont really think of any difference while gaming after switching setup, so both are good buys. :)
I have the Apex Pro TKL and I tried the apex 5 in store and if I had the 5 I would swap it out with the pro from time to time because I really like how light and clicky the switches are. You really can't go wrong with any of them except for the Apex 3 which I wouldn't recommend over an entry level mechanical keyboard

Yeah i figure that out.... I have an issue though. When i enable this app and put my PC on sleep mode. When i open (the pc) up again the lights of my keyboard dont open at all! Any suggestion on what to do about it?
Thx
apparently my w key wont work (i needed to use the virtual keyboard just to type it) i have a laptop and currently the onboard keyboard broke, so this is a big issue i used a havit trash keyboard and it lasted 5 months at least, so dont buy expensive if you can
I have a apex 7 tkl ghost and it’s prob the best keyboard iv ever had
In general wich keyboard is better apex 5 or apex 7?

The apex 7 is the better one. Usb pass through and read mechanical switches, but no a very big difference.
Apex Pro VS Apex 7 pls
Can't you just turn the brightness of the rgb lighting up ? lol
im thinking of getting the 7 because my 5 stopped working, im thinking about the 7 because it doesnt have the membrane which is what i think messed up on my 5

Yes, it will probably last longer :) but I feel maybe the apex 7 will get some appearance update soon. But the current one still looks really good and modern.

Did you say the 7 fully mechanical and the 5 were hybrid. Which one is louder

I believe that both have the same click mechanism so they'll sound the same, if you want a quiet board I wouldn't go for a clicky keyboard

Apex 5 have cheaper hybrid switches. Membrane and click, apex 7 is fully mechanical. The difference in feeling is not big, so when switching I don’t think I would notice it. The apex 5 is maybe louder.
man i wish i could get one haha

Their headsets all the same. Arctis 1 to 3, 5 , 7 ,9 , all use same driver and mic. Only the pro is different Love their products. Very high quality

the apex 5 comes with fake mechanical switches but the apex 7 is real
@simjanoskibojan

Not really fake. The switch is mechanical the actual key press is registered differently. I just got mine today after 2 years of using a logitecg g513. In my opinion the apex is far superior, AND has a better feel when you press the keys. It is unfortunate that logitech lowered their quality. Mine had faulty led lights after just a few months and started to register single presses as double or tripple.
