Our Verdict

SteelSeries Apex 7 TKL

Corsair K95 RGB PLATINUM XT

The SteelSeries Apex 7 TKL and the Corsair K95 RGB PLATINUM XT are wired mechanical keyboards with very similar features, performance, and build qualities but notable differences in size and switch types. The SteelSeries is a TenKeyLess keyboard available with tactile SteelSeries Brown, linear SteelSeries Red, and clicky SteelSeries Blue switches. On the other hand, the Corsair is a full-sized keyboard with dedicated macro keys, which the SteelSeries lacks, and it’s available with tactile Cherry MX Brown, clicky Blue, and linear Speed Silver switches.
