SteelSeries Apex 9
The SteelSeries Apex 9 is a remarkable gaming keyboard. It has split millisecond latency and a super light actuation force along with a specific "gaming setting" that sets the actuation point at 1.0mm, so keypresses feel very responsive and fluid. You can program macros to any key and customize the RGB backlighting. Overall, it feels well-built, and while it's pretty comfortable to use, it could benefit from the use of a wrist rest, which you'll have to purchase separately.
