What I love about the SteelSeries Apex 7 keyboard:
1. Vibrant LED lights with superb visibility
2. Ability to customize different light profiles that launch automatically with various PC programs/games
3. OLED display that can be customized with logos or animated GIFs
4. Magnetic wrist rest that detaches easily and is extremely simple to clean (no textured grooves to collect dirt!)
5. SteelSeries software requires minimal CPU background usage compared to HyperX software on previous keyboard
6. Red switches are clicky yet aren't obtrusive. I know when I've pressed a key, but the whole house isn't alerted that mom is gaming yet again.
7. Very comfortable for my middle-aged fingers and wrists
8. Looks nice with my SteelSeries dual surface prism mousepad
9. SteelSeries Engine software is way more reliable than Razer Synapse
10. Caps Lock key glows white when activated, which is a nice feature.
What could be improved:
My main gripe is that there are absolutely zero instructions included about the OLED display and the menu/functions within it. I initially had trouble loading the profiles I created in the SteelSeries Engine software to the keyboard, but I eventually fumbled through the OLED display menu on the keyboard and figured out how to load/activate each profile. The process is a bit cumbersome. SteelSeries support keeps promising me a comprehensive guide to the OLED display but has yet to deliver.
Other than that, I really have no complaints and am very pleased with the Apex 7 vs. my old HyperX Alloy Elite. I didn't opt for the Apex Pro keyboard because, as a middle-aged mom who only games casually, I felt no use for fully customizable switches. I'm a huge fan of the game Super Animal Royale, and I have won many matches with my new Apex 7! If SteelSeries would only make gaming earbuds (I get headaches from headsets) and a mouse with a tilting scroll wheel, I could completely ditch Razer and game 100% with SteelSeries gear. Just buy the Apex 7 keyboard already, it's pretty spiffy! :)

Voy diciendo que es un teclado caro, pero si ya tienes otras cosas Steelseries le puedes sacar un poco más de provecho con ciertas aplicaciones que tiene
Primero es que este teclado no vale 5000 pesos almenos que sea el Omni, si lo ves más caro, busca otro no vale la pena, lo segundo es que es cómodo para lo que es jugar y escribir, aunque al final diré que eso no quita que uno de membrana no sirva
También el botón de multimedia y todo eso es un poco limitado aunque lo bueno es que como no abarca tanto espacio llega a ser bonito, las luces RGB no son 100% exactas, pero son 100% nodificables, desde el color, la animación del color y la animación de pulsación de una tecla, también con el programa puedes enlazar qie depende el titulo ponga otros colores
Se conciente de que es un teclado caro que solo si lo quieres por la marca, no dudes en comprarlo, las teclas no se desgastan fácil para amdarlo ocupando casi 24/7
Y si ves un teclado mecánico que se adapte a lonque buscas más barato, checalo primero en foros de como hablan de el y ya piensa si lo vale o no
También, como trae un adaptador USB 2.0 el cable es gordo, largo y se divide en 2, uno para el teclado y el otro para el USB 2.0
El sonido de los Switches es fuerte, pero es como a la hora de jugar, aparte de que no se escucha si juegas a volumen alto o con audífonos, pero no dudes que si tecleas fuerte puedas despertar a alguien

I got the MX Cherry Red version as I like quieter keys
The RGB and software for it is really simple and fun to use, with also certain apps that change the RGB like League of Legends
being able to plug my mouse into the keyboard (wireless anyway) is great for cable management
Wrist Rest is super comfy too
