As a premium mechanical keyboard, the Apex 7 TKL features a full metal frame made from 5000 series aluminum. It further comes with a magnetic wrist rest with a durable soft touch finish that is easy to attach.
SteelSeries' QX2 switches are available in three flavors: Red switches with linear and quiet actuation, Blue with tactile and clicky actuation, and Brown with tactile and quiet actuation.
For versatility, the Apex 7 TKL sports a range of media keys, including a clickable metal roller, as well as an OLED display for custom information. Naturally, it comes 100% anti-ghosting and N-key rollover.
