Our Verdict

SteelSeries Apex 7 TKL

Corsair STRAFE RGB MK.2

The SteelSeries Apex 7 TKL and the Corsair STRAFE RGB MK.2 are both outstanding keyboards. The Cherry MX Red switches on our Corsair unit are provide no feedback and fairly light to type on, while the SteelSeries Brown switches do provide feedback and are even lighter to type on.  The Corsair has a Numpad since it's a full-sized keyboard, and the SteelSeries is fully compatible with macOS, unlike the Corsair.
