Our Verdict

SteelSeries Apex Pro

ASUS ROG Claymore II

The SteelSeries Apex Pro is a wired gaming board with an OLED screen, while the ASUS ROG Claymore II is a wireless gaming board with a modular numpad. The SteelSeries has a better build quality, and its customization software is available on macOS, while ASUS's software is only available on Windows. It has proprietary OmniPoint linear switches, which let you adjust the pre-travel distance needed to actuate a key, which affects the operating force. You can program its OLED screen to display almost anything, including GIFs, K/D ratios, or images. On the other hand, the ASUS is available with linear or clicky ROG RX Optical Mechanical switches, and you can position the numpad on either side of the board or remove it completely to have a TKL size.
