Key Features

Hybrid Mechanical Switches
Combines the smoothness of a membrane switch with the added durability, performance and satisfying click of a blue mechanical switch.

OLED Smart Display
Uses the same OLED as the Apex Pro/Apex 7 to add GIF customization, view in-game info, current song information, Discord messages, settings and more.

Dynamic Per-Key RGB
Adds millions of color options and reactive typing effects and is compatible with all SteelSeries Engine apps and peripherals.

Dedicated Multimedia Controls
Like the Apex Pro/Apex 7 (but without the OLED), the Apex 5 has a clickable metal roller and media keys to adjust volume and settings on the fly: like brightness, rewind, skip, pause and more.

Aircraft Grade Aluminum Alloy
The Series 5000 metal frame is manufactured for a lifetime of unbreakable durability and sturdiness, making it the perfect centerpiece of any high-end setup.

Premium Magnetic Wrist Rest
The perfect keyboard accessory, with a simple magnetic solution for easy and secure attachment, full palm support, and durable soft touch finish, so you’re comfortable typing and gaming for as long as you want.

Three-Way Cable Routing
Prevent your cable from stretching, pulling, and getting in the way. The frame has built-in channels that allow you to choose from one of three possible places for your cable to exit, keeping your desk tidy.
