  Very good keyboard. Nice feel, good construction, and very powerful features.

  I would like to mention the negatives for those who do not know:
  - Not all keys are adjustable in terms of actuation point. Specifically, the F1-F12 keys, the numpad, and the group with the end, delete, and arrow keys. Essentially, half of the keyboard.
  - The keys have a good and light feel, however, they create a feeling of fatigue after a few minutes of gaming or typing. Perhaps it is because the keys are quite elevated and have little resistance. I have tried them in various settings, but I have not yet found one that does not cause fatigue.
  - The keys only come in linear (red switches), which are indeed the most silent, but they do not have any tactile feedback that some of us would prefer. So there is no choice, it is what it is.
  - The price is a little over 200, without offering wireless connectivity, it is a bit overvalued.

  Compared to the Apex 5, which has hybrid blue mechanical switches (tactile) and which I have tried, I have to say that it would solve the issue of fatigue and provide tactile feedback. There would be more noise, at least 2x, and we would lose the adjustable switches, which, as I mentioned earlier, are not all present.

  I have had it for about 6 months, for competitive FPS games and a bit of typing. It is excellent in all aspects, it has all those extras that make it worth the extra cost (LED screen, programmable switches). The switches are not the best you can find, but they are decent and with the programmable actuation, you can adjust it to your liking. In games, I have it set to 2 and when typing, I have it set to 5. It is very aesthetically pleasing and has powerful lighting with endless options.

  However, there are 2 negatives that prevent it from getting a 5/5 rating:
  1. Cable: It is unbelievable that such an expensive keyboard has such a poor cable, it is inflexible and not braided.
  2. Keycaps: They are of poor quality and not centered on the LED, I replaced them with Ducky's PBT keycaps and found my peace.

  I do not regret the money I spent, it is definitely one of the best choices on the market, but at this price, you expect to have the best in all areas. For me, the cable and keycaps are not as important, so I give it a 4/5 rating and not lower.

  For such an expensive keyboard - the esc key didn't work from the first day !!!

  I had to use a contact cleaner to get it to start working !!! and not just once.

  Now, months later, the blue color burned out on one of the keys... I found another key that the blue LED doesn't work on !!! 2 LEDs in total no longer work correctly !!!

  The software loses the settings that you save and then doesn't restore them from your account.

  I couldn't properly set up a macro no matter what...

  There is a strong white light at the back of the USB that bothers you and you can't turn it off.

  It doesn't have dual action to perform actions based on the depth of the press, even though it can detect the depth of the press.

  I also bought those plastic inserts that you put inside each key for less noise, and I lost a lot of actuation - which is not present in all keys, and also not the same in every key - meaning some keys are more sensitive, others are less.

  The OLED screen that constantly displays "steelseries" and doesn't change has left a mark - as if they didn't notice that either.

  What can I say - so much money and so many problems.

  ----
  and a third LED doesn't work... the policy to replace it is a joke...

  ----
  Let me update you on my pain because the new one they replaced it with broke the same way.

  ----
  To replace the broken one, it took 3 months - after they made me wait a month with "what ifs" and "maybes," they made me buy a new one from their store - which was out of stock and I had to wait there as well until it became available again. They sent it to me and asked me to destroy the old one by cutting the cables and send proof that I did it. If I made any mistakes during this process (e.g. the serial number wasn't visible, I didn't destroy it correctly, I don't know what else), I wouldn't get a refund.

  After the process was completed, which took almost 3 months - the new keyboard, after a few months, the color on one key broke again - truly unbelievable! I'll say it again, truly unbelievable for LEDs to break -

  And I should note that I take great care of it, meaning I don't have the brightness at maximum, the screen that has been installed also goes into save mode after a while - because in the previous one, the screen also had the imprint of the steel series logo.

  Also, apart from that - the software doesn't have enough tricks that they could have added because of the special keys, for example, double actuation, where you press it, release it for a bit, and press it again and it recognizes the click, and other things that I have seen in other keyboards.

  I should also mention that the keys that lost their color were not the ones I pressed the most, I didn't press one of them at all.

  I also removed the rubber rings in case they were the problem. Nope - they are simply defective by nature when it comes to color and LEDs.

  -------
  Oh, and I shouldn't forget to mention, if you put an O-ring, you lose half of the travel distance that it detects because it doesn't go all the way down...

  -------

  Also, it's not analog - even though the program has the capability, they don't make it analog.... wasted money -

  It is very good, but I think they need to lower the price significantly for people to see its value.

  Very good at an outrageous price though... If you have the money, invest, if not, there are other options with less money.

  Hello guys, I have had the keyboard for almost 2 weeks and in terms of durability, I cannot express an opinion yet, but it seems very sturdy and resistant. Now, regarding its features, I am in love with the magnetic keys, the lighting is amazing, and most importantly, it has a USB port, which personally makes a big difference compared to other competitors. The keys are relatively quiet compared to other keyboards I have played with. As for the price, it is definitely expensive, but worth it.

  Owner of mechanical keyboards for about 10 years. Constantly writing texts, I am also a gamer.
  I have tried almost all switches over the years.
  Cherry mx Brown
  Cherry MX Red
  Cherry MX Blue
  Cherry MX Black
  Cherry MX Silver
  Cherry MX Speed Low Profile

  Kailh Blue
  Kailh Black

  Romer-G Linear
  Romer-G Tactical
  Lk Optical Switches Linear

  And I come to the evaluation. Well, to tell the truth, I was hesitant about the Steelseries Omni Point switches. I thought it was just marketing and that it would be like the Red switches but with adjustable actuation point. HOW WRONG I WAS. They are the best switches I have seen so far and the reason is simple. They are quiet with a very smooth feel and you can adjust how deep your keystrokes will be. It's exactly what I've been looking for in a switch for so many years. I would say they are similar to Cherry MX Red but superior, much smoother and more stable. (With the Red switches, you could feel/hear the spring being pressed or, in short, you could feel when the metal parts made contact). With the Omni Point switches, it's a completely different feeling when typing. Each keystroke leaves a satisfying sound of solidity. Set the Actuation Point to 6-7 and you can truly type faster. The reason is that because it takes a little longer for the button to register, you don't make mistakes while typing, meaning you don't accidentally press other letters. Also, the button is very stable without any wobble sensation. The most stable switch I have seen across the entire spectrum of keystrokes.
  Finally, the LEDs are very bright. The RGB LED is at the top and it's quite large. Also, the effects are very nice. A big plus is the software where you can do whatever you like. The software also has some applications for games where the colors light up according to health and other factors. It also has a very nice Audio Visualizer for enthusiasts of the genre.

  The screen, although you don't sit and look at the statistics because you have to get up to see them, is very nice for putting on a GIF and enjoying it.

  Positives:

  +Omni Point switches are truly divine.
  +Quiet typing with nice feedback.
  +Adjustable actuation point.
  +Very sturdy switches. You feel like you will have it for many years.
  +Faster typing with fewer mistakes if the actuation is set to 5-6.
  +Beautiful keyboard, as compact as possible. No silly bezels on the sides.
  +USB Passthrough.
  +Volume adjustment wheel. When pressed, it mutes the sound.
  +One of the best software in the market with continuous firmware and software updates.
  +The small screen is good, but it's not convenient to look at while playing. Nevertheless, it offers great aesthetics and uniqueness.

  Negatives:

  (Because I really have to rack my brain to find negatives, I will write something silly)

  -Not all switches are Omni Point. There is logic behind it, that only these are needed, but okay, when you pay 230+ euros, you want to have them all. Essentially, it's all the letters along with the numeric keys above the letters. Check the official page where it shows in detail which ones have Omni Point. The rest are Steelseries Red switches. It's just okay.

  -Keycaps. Although this is subjective (maybe after all these years, I have gotten used to the glossy keycaps because I want my fingers to glide while typing). What it has has something like a velvety surface, resulting in a slight stickiness when you touch it. Generally, many people find it positive, but personally, I didn't like it and I replaced the Keycaps with the ones from Corsair that I had.

  -The letters on the Keycaps are not centered. According to the company, they did it on purpose because it has a very strong light that shouldn't bother you. However, I put the Corsair ones as I mentioned and the lighting really improved by 2 levels.

  Conclusion

  If you want to get a keyboard that you will never get bored of, don't go on vacation this year and get this one. You will have it for a lifetime. It is truly annoyingly perfect. I'm trying to find something negative that will make you reconsider, but I can't.

  And no, I don't consider the price as a negative, when other companies ask for the same amount of money and offer frills and scents.

  *****
  EDIT:
  I just added transparent o-rings. Okay, the level of silence it has achieved is unbelievable. Truly even more than a membrane!

  Owner of this for 2 days now, the build quality is excellent. The keycaps have a velvety feel and not cheap plastic. It is generally very quiet. The omnipoint switches are even quieter than cherry mx speed switches, which is very positive for me.
  Customizing the RGB is very easy through the software, as well as the actuation of the keys.
  You have endless combinations with the RGB, to the point where you can watch a horror movie and create atmosphere with the RGB flickering in black and white.
  One by one customization, with any color combination you can imagine. It even has an option where it looks like a drop is falling on the pressed key and the rest of the keys create a wave.
  The armrest is also very good in texture, magnetic, it's just wider than what I was used to and still requires getting used to, coming from a k70 rapidfire which was narrower, and now my fingers go one row down from habit, blindly, so instead of pressing f, I press v, but I think I will get used to it over time.
  The OLED screen is not something amazing and it is in a position where it is not very visible from the seating position. Maybe in a TKL version it is more distinguishable. You can put any gif you want to play and it syncs with some games like Dota 2 to show your KDA, etc., but not with many... yet.
  The negative thing that left me a bit disappointed is that for its price, it does not come with extra keycaps for asdf and qwerty, so if the symbols wear off after some time, you may have to contact the company to send replacements.
  Overall, a very premium purchase, a bit pricey, but the omnipoint switches at 0.4mm are fully lovable and there is currently no other keyboard like it. The next closest option is the cherry mx speed switches at 1.2mm without the ability to change their actuation point.
