Both of these switches have been industry-leading for a long, long time now. On the other hand, the Corsair K95 RGB Platinum comes in two switch types the Cherry MX Brown and the Cherry MX Speed. Additionally, the response time is just 0.7ms and most importantly, the switch is rated at 100 million keystrokes. Making the SteelSeries Apex Pro the fastest mechanical keyboard not just in theory, but also in practicality. The OmniPoint switch, as the name would say, allows you to change the actuation point of the switch from 0.4mm all the way up to 3.6mm. This is created by SteelSeries themselves and happens to be among the few adjustable switches. The SteelSeries Apex Pro comes in only one switch type known as the OmniPoint Switch. You see, despite both being mechanical the keyboards are inherently different all thanks to the fact that they have entirely different switches. However, this is where the differences start to prop up in these keyboards. SwitchesĬonsidering how both keyboards are mechanical, the comparison might seem unjust to some mainly due to how similar mechanical keyboard tend to be. Something that we will be finding out later down the road. Needless to say, the K95 RGB Platinum is definitely better in terms of the price, but it also leaves us wondering if the Apex Pro has more features. On the other hand, the SteelSeries Apex Pro is currently retailing for $237, which certainly is more than what the Corsair warrants. However, with Corsair K95 RGB Platinum being the older keyboard from the two, it is currently available for much cheaper in the market at $176 after discount for a keyboard that retails for around $200, the discount is pretty nice. Both Corsair and SteelSeries are known for keeping the prices close to each other, and maintaining the quality, as well.

The keyboards are tested on various grounds such as price, switches, design, build quality, and features. Obviously, for anyone who is looking to buy the best gaming keyboard in the market, at first sight, they think that the most expensive and the latest product would do, but that’s not the case. But the goal here is to see whether the high price is actually worth it or not, and most importantly, we also want to find out how they compete with each other.

Today, we look at the SteelSeries Apex Pro and the Corsair K95 RGB Platinum two of the highest end gaming keyboards available in the market, that warrant a premium, as well. So much so that you really do not have to worry about the quality of the construction because rest assured, that is the one thing that will not fail you. They have been releasing some of the best peripherals. There is no doubt that when it comes to gaming peripherals, both SteelSeries and Corsair happen to be the pioneers of the industry.
