They felt similar to typical Cherry MX Blue switches, which are tactile and very clicky. The Apex 5’s hybrid keys provide a comfortable typing experience. SteelSeries’ hybrid mechanical switches actuate at 2 millimeters but have a total travel of 4 millimeters. I ran the test again on and got 53 WPM with a 98% accuracy. I managed 52 words per minute with a 97% accuracy on the typing test. Unfortunately, the keys have a matte coating, which leaves fingerprints behind. Lift up one of the keys and you'll see the TTC letters underneath. On board the SteelSeries Apex 5 are 104 mechanical key switches and they all have what SteelSeries calls MX stems, which means that you can fit just about any keycaps on them. But what makes it a “hybrid” is that SteelSeries cut costs by replacing the traditional gold-plated circuits with a super durable membrane actuation. That means the keys use the same sort of springs clicky switches use to give them that snappy feel. The SteelSeries Apex 5 uses what the company calls Hybrid Blue Mechanical Switches. When packing laptops and going to events, I like having the ability to fully detach the wire from the keyboard because it prolongs the life of the cable and you don't have to worry about it bending in odd ways as you travel with your peripheral. I didn't even realize how much that mattered until I went back to using my personal keyboard. Here's my gripe - the cable cannot be detached from the keyboard. This wrist rest has eight rubber feet and is made of a faux-leather material similar to what you'd find on a SteelSeries earcup. The Apex 5 also comes with a comfortable detachable wrist rest, which magnetically attaches to the bottom of the keyboard.
The keyboard's form factor is extremely solid - when I pressed down on the frame, it didn’t budge. The back of the keyboard has a non-detachable rubber-coated cable and a cable rider for either side that you choose to run it.
