Experts highlight the SteelSeries Apex 5, a hybrid keyboard that combines membrane and mechanical switches, per-key RGB lighting, and an OLED display. It has a satisfying tactile click, an all-aluminum chassis, and standard MX keycaps. It also has the same media keys and wrist-rest as the Apex 3, but it has a higher price tag and a more complex switch design.

Experts say the SteelSeries Apex 5 is a solid gaming keyboard that offers great gaming performance and a neat OLED display in a minimalist design. It features hybrid mechanical switches that are clicky but not too loud, customizable RGB lighting, and six macro keys. However, it has a non-detachable cable and the keys are not as tactile as Cherry MX Blue switches.

Experts say the SteelSeries Apex 5 is a midrange gaming keyboard that offers a hybrid mechanical switch that feels and sounds like a mechanical keyboard, but uses a membrane actuation. It has a sleek design with per-key RGB lighting, an OLED screen, and a metal volume roller. It also comes with a detachable wrist rest and supports the SteelSeries Engine 3 software. However, it lacks a USB pass-through, has a single button for all media controls, and has less secure rollover and anti-ghosting than more expensive models.

Experts say the SteelSeries Apex 5 is a mechanical keyboard that offers a clicky typing experience, a hybrid blue switch, and a durable aluminum frame. It has per-key RGB backlighting, dedicated media keys, and onboard macro programming. It's compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, and has a low pre-travel distance. However, it has a high latency, a non-detachable cable, and no wireless connectivity.

Experts say the SteelSeries Apex 5 is a hybrid mechanical keyboard that offers good gaming performance, a sleek design, and an OLED display. It has a sturdy and compact frame, a smart multimedia key, and customizable RGB lighting. However, some experts criticize its non-detachable cable, its quiet keys, and its superfluous OLED screen. It's a reasonably priced and versatile keyboard, but not a true mechanical one.

Experts say the SteelSeries Apex 5 is a hybrid keyboard that combines mechanical switches with a membrane design. It offers good performance, customizable lighting, and a comfortable wrist rest. However, it also has a dull OLED screen, a somewhat muted RGB effect, and a compromise feel that may not appeal to purists of either membrane or mechanical keyboards.
