Are SteelSeries keyboards worth it?

For competitive players, yes — the Apex Pro's adjustable OmniPoint switches let you fine-tune actuation in a way most keyboards can't, which is a genuine advantage in fast shooters. If you don't need adjustable actuation, a standard SteelSeries mechanical board still gives solid build quality and RGB at a lower price. Check current SA pricing on this page.

What is the difference between SteelSeries Apex and Apex Pro?

The Apex Pro line adds OmniPoint adjustable mechanical switches (you set the actuation point per key) and, on higher tiers, an OLED smart display and aluminium frame. Standard Apex boards use fixed-actuation switches and simpler builds at a lower price. Choose Pro if per-key actuation tuning matters to you.

Do SteelSeries keyboards work on PS5 and Xbox?

SteelSeries keyboards connect over USB and work for typing and supported input on PlayStation and Xbox, but full per-key features, macros and adjustable actuation are designed for PC via the SteelSeries software. For the complete feature set, use them on a PC. Check the specific model's console support before buying.

Should I get a full-size or TKL SteelSeries keyboard?

Choose tenkeyless (TKL) for FPS and esports — dropping the numpad gives more space for low-sensitivity mouse movement. Choose full-size if you also do spreadsheets, data entry or want dedicated media keys. Both are available across the SteelSeries range.

Do I need the SteelSeries software?

You can use a SteelSeries keyboard out of the box, but SteelSeries GG unlocks the real value — setting actuation points, macros, per-game profiles and lighting sync. On supported models you can save profiles to the keyboard so they carry to another PC. It's a free download for Windows.

Are SteelSeries keyboards mechanical?

The Apex gaming range uses mechanical or magnetic (OmniPoint) switches for fast, tactile, durable key presses. Some entry models in the wider line-up use membrane-style switches at a lower price. The product page lists the switch type for each model.

Is RGB on SteelSeries keyboards customisable?

Yes — most Apex keyboards offer per-key RGB you configure in SteelSeries GG, with effects you can sync across other SteelSeries devices. You can set static colours, reactive effects and per-game lighting profiles. Lighting depth varies by model, so check the listing.

What warranty do SteelSeries keyboards have in South Africa?

SteelSeries keyboards bought from Evetech carry local warranty against manufacturing defects, handled here in South Africa rather than via an overseas return. Keep your proof of purchase. Check this page or contact our support team for the exact warranty term on a specific model.

SteelSeries Gaming Keyboards ⌨️

SteelSeries builds keyboards for competitive players, and its Apex range is the heart of the line-up. The flagship Apex Pro models use OmniPoint adjustable mechanical switches, which let you tune how far a key travels before it registers — a lighter touch for fast in-game taps, a deeper press for everyday typing.

The range scales to how you play: full-size Apex boards keep a numpad and media controls, while tenkeyless (TKL) models free up desk space for low-sensitivity mouse aim. Per-key RGB, an aluminium top plate on the higher tiers and the SteelSeries GG software for macros and profiles run through the family.

Every SteelSeries keyboard at Evetech ships with local warranty and nationwide delivery, backed by South Africa's largest gaming hardware retailer. Compare the Apex models below and pair one with a SteelSeries mouse and headset for a matched setup.
