Steelseries Apex Raw Gaming Keyboard Drivers

I bought this for my Steelseries Apex Pro TKL. It fits quite well despite being designed for the Roccat Vulcan TKL.

I've switched to this after 1.5 years with AW3423DW, because Apex and Rocket League have been the majority of my gaming hours. The productivity loss wasn't that bad, and the stand shape leaves room for another monitor if needed. The visuals seem on par with the Dell, but the smoothness is a noticeable upgrade. It is especially clear in Rocket League with its rough transitions when playing the ball cam (like you normally should). 540 Hz monitors with strobing have even better motion clarity but I won't put up with ghosting nor the hit to image quality. The timing around Apex's vulnerability deprived me of the most relevant comparison, but even a similar frame rate looks better in The Division 2. Unlike Rocket League, this must come down to a massive improvement in total latency from superior processing time. AW34D3W was unusually bad for OLEDs, while this MSI tops the charts. The monitor supports 4K input for downsampling the image from modern consoles and media players. The flipside is that PC games detected the monitor as 4K when using exclusive fullscreen, but the borderless option is taking over anyway (DX12 doesn't even have exclusive fullscreen). The connectivity is an upgrade as well: 2 genuine HDMI 2.1 and a 90W PD USB-C are amazing to have. There are also the usual 2 USB-A ports and a backup DP 1.4, too. Software-wise, this is completely fine out of the box unlike certain Samsungs and Dells were. A DSC toggle and separate color profiles for SDR & HDR should come with a future firmware, and the only other quirk is monitor turning off rather than going back to standby after a pixel refresh on idle. For pure gaming performance, this is the best OLED at the joint lowest price for this panel. I haven't been able to identify a caveat here. It is a great time to be an OLED aficionado.

Great motherboard and WIFI extender that goes with motherboard. The WIFI extender has really helped me with my WIFI and has significantly improved my gaming when it comes to really competitive games like apex or call of duty

I use the Apex AX-48 keyboard stand for a heavier digital piano, on the bottom and a Roland Juno Di on top. Each keyboard is easily accessible and adjustable keyboard heights make playing very comfortable. This stand is very sturdy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own a condenser mic that use for gaming, I was always skeptical about usb mic, usually because of drivers and sound quality. This mic has been just perfect, out of the box it’s plug and play, plus, you get extra features with the software. My gaming friends could tell the difference, my voice sounds clearer and like pro quite. This mic it’s a must have! Period!

I use it across my living room and sometimes into my kitchen. No sweat. The touchpad drivers are not great though. You can use all the normal gestures you've come to be familiar with, but they're choppy and clunky in practice. Not a great browsing experience for guests! I bet someone has a workaround I'm not aware of or keen to go through. I'm fine with it. I just pair mine with a wireless mouse when I'm doing more serious gaming or work on my living room PC. For standard media use, it's fantastic especially at this price. I even use it for gaming in the living room just sat on my lap (with a secondary mouse of course). Battery life is great and it's been going strong for a long time. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

Installed this in my Win 98 gaming rig, Drivers installed nicely and easy. Speed is in between 100-1000 some times limited to PCI bus speed or Hard drive transfer pending what hard drive I am using, Got a slight boost on download speeds too, still a farcry away from getting my 30 mbps connection.

Love this gaming keyboard. Color changing looks great.

The HyperX Alloy Core RGB - Gaming Keyboard is all I ever needed and more. It's the best keyboard I've ever had and great looking too.

I was looking for a sleek, yet simple illuminated keyboard and this is exactly what I got. Other illuminated keyboards tried too hard to look cool and ended up looking like something out of a B sci-fi movie from the 70s. I didn't install the drivers for it as Logitech is notorious for bloated drivers (the drivers were 85 megs). Instead I installed a free program called AutoHotKey and was able to use that to program the media keys. Even without drivers most of the media keys actually work, but you can't reprogram them. It feels great to type on and looks wonderful on my desk.
