I am looking for a decent replacement for my SteelSeries Apex 350. Pretty much I want to replace it with a similar type of keyboard.

I bought the Apex 350 because of all the extra programmable buttons as it helps with both my gaming but more importantly my work productivity.

Thank you in advance. :)

Why not just buy another Apex 350 if you like it so much?

Apparently it is discontinued. There seems to be a common issue where the keyboard would "short out" or self disconnect from the pc. I unfortunately have recently started to experience this after having the keyboard for a couple of years. Ive looked around and found another but just for argument sake if there is another keyboard out there that would meet my need and that doesnt suffer from this issue I would gladly take interest.

if you really need macros fr work you wan get a nice keyboard for typing and get a second keyboard that comes with software I hear the corsair software is pretty good with this and just reprogram the entire keyboard with macros that you need. like this
