Steelseries Apex raw gaming keyboard vs. Sharkoon Skiller

[Leonell12]

MASSIVE difference in pricing, the Sharkoon skiller seems to provide more features with 20 key roll over while the Apex only offers 6? ...i dont know what either of these keyboards feel like when typing or gaming so any help is appreciated guys

Well you answered somewhat yourself that there's a massive price difference & comparison should be within the league.....
So what you are willing to spare matters most!!!!!

Well if you can take the pain then for Apex Raw try this:

Hmm well if these reviews don't chant the Skiller's name then I dunt noe Wht does. One thing is clear that the features: price ratio of the Skiller is amazing. Just one thing em worried about: comfort. I get the feeling that the Skiller offering such features at a low price means the company skimped out on build quality. u noe hoe u got those feature-packed cheap products but they just generally dunt work too well? I get a feeling the Skiller's the same case. I have heard complaints of some of the Skiller's keys not being responsive enough. I mean I dunno...if u or anyone here HAS USED, personally, the Skiller....I would be glad to hear what they wanna say about it. Thnx btw

Well good for you to wait for a perfect review from one that has used if you can spare time, but be sure to choose the correct answer or put one up yourself so that it can help others with the same problem.

Also just reminding without being offensive that reviews are given by experts after hands on with the components, that too for a period of time. So they might not be perfectly right but wont be wrong that's for sure.

But again it's your choice as you asked only for recommendation & help. So if you aren't sure about the kbs yet be sure to take your time & also try looking other kbs of same price range for comparing.

oh so you've used the Skiller then, i was kinda avoiding the Skiller because 1. i dont know the company 2. some people say the keys are 'mushy', altho em not sure to what extent this is true 3. others say the keys are sometimes unresponsive and you have to press really hard...i mean i'd rather pay extra and get a keyboard from a company i know about...but since you've used both the skiller and apex (raw) ...cons/ pros of these would be very nice (yea i still havent bought the keyboard)

dude the apex keys are way much mushy just think since sharkoon s skiller is a no name brand dosent mean its bad if anything its a steal for the price

hmm k thanks for your reply! ....whenever i am looking to buy something new i always look at user reviews, especially the 1/5 stars and the 5/5 stars.... http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823794002 these people seem to have some pretty legitimate issues with the skiller, including the 'keys too hard to press' issue...are these true at all?


EDIT: well honestly speaking the reviews for the apex raw dont look much better http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823239028&cm_re=apex_raw-_-23-239-028-_-Product
