I have no idea how this has such a high score.
The first one I got had trouble with the Question Mark key. It would constantly do a repeating backslack.
I returned and got a replacement, the second had a dead Nine key.
I have zero clue how it can be only me. I tried with different keyboards and no trouble. Tried the Apex 7 on different computer and same issue.
Granted that this is really comfortable and had a great wrist rest. But if a key doesn't work, no matter how comfy it is, it would be worthless.
Adjusting the actuation is great! I can feel the difference in games with their super fast actuation. Typing is just the reverse though, I have a lot of typos with the super fast actuation. Which isn't a problem at all, because you can switch profiles on the fly and have one of the best typing experiences imaginable with super deep 3.6 mm actuation point. It's like having multiple keyboards at once, and being able to change them effortlessly to suit the task at hand.
Some disadvantages I'd like to point out:
- Not waterproof. Be careful with it.
- Only the main block uses omnipoint switches. Not a big issue considering you don't really use the other keys, but that's a good reason to make a 60% or TKL Keyboard with only omnipoint switches, no? After using TKL keyboards I've really appreciate the extra space. I highly recommend the TKL version over the full one, once it actually releases.
- O-rings will prevent the 3.6mm actuation point from working properly, and I really didn't like how O-rings felt on this keyboard. Not really an issue considering that the keyboard is already quite silent even without any O-rings.
HOWEVER
I had more trouble with this packaging than I did with my last girlfriend. Heck, when the package arrived, I wasn't sure if it was even a keyboard. The box could have fit a small child inside of it, and looked like it had been attacked by a rabid raccoon. The tape was the real shiner, though. Trying to tear this tape open is like trying to split an atom.
Great keyboard though!
Here are my findings
I did not care too much for the RBG function, but quickly realized that I actually had fun personalizing the color and movement of hues. The software to control it is extremely user-friendly and takes no time at all to change whenever I want. You can change it to stay on one color, change colors with adjusted timing, or just turn off the color altogether.
There's a nice roller at the top right that adjusts volume. Next to this roller is a button that controls pause, play, fast forward, and rewind of audio. This was one of my favorite features about this keyboard, as I transcribe a lot of audio. The volume and pause/play features were game-changers in my note-taking daily life.
The keys are so comfortable. I had to admit that I had to adjust a little bit to the size of the keys. They are a bit on the skinnier side than I am used to (laptop keyboard) but I quickly adjusted to it and realized I like this size way better. There is a small gap between keys. I know that some might not like this feature and prefer their keys to be closed together. Just something to consider before buying.
There's a little pop-up stand on the back of the keyboard to allow it to tilt. It is lined with rubber, which is nice so it doesn't scrape against your desk. Also, the keyboard came with a magnetically detachable wrist rest. I never take the rest off, as it is nice and comfortable to have. However, the option of detaching it so easily is pretty convenient.
Overall, I absolutely love this keyboard and its build. I believe that it is built with very good design and parts. I will update my review in later months if anything changes.
Top reviews from other countries

It's a keyboard. Information on good keyboards for gaming is ambiguous and prices are usually from 100-200 for mechanical keyboards. This one is definetly expensive.
Keyboards don't affect gaming that much. Monitors, mice and tower hardware do. Flat laptop keyboards are better in my opinion because of how easy it is to slide to another key once you get used to them.
That's why after switching to this keyboard I felt a little underwhelmed for its price. It's not a bad keyboard by any means. In fact, it's one of, if not the best, mechanical keyboards on the market. I just don't think the price tag justifies itself. Unless it lasts me ~10 years.
In conclusion, I'l recommend it if you want to spend for the long term benefit. I'l keep it at 4* unless it breaks. If that is the case I'l update the review for you curious people.
Sincerely,
XD.

Lo compre con switch cafe para supuestamente tener retroalimentacion tactil y los switches dejan mucho que desear, no hay consistencia al rededor del teclado, algunas teclas son mas tactiles que otras y la mayoria parecen switch rojo.
El reposa muñecas es de plastico duro y delgado, solo para la foto, para que se vea bonito pero no cumple con su cometido, termine usando otro que tengo que si es comodo.
La iluminacion de los leds es menos brillosa que los modelos Apex M750 y en mi opinion no vale la pena hacer el upgrade desde un m750 a este. Sino tienes teclado y estas buscando uno, yo buscaria otras marcas con mayores prestaciones, si de plano quieres este por la marca o porque esta bonito, es buena compra, solo que puede que despues de un rato empieces a notar los detalles o falta de calidad en algunos aspectos.
