Steelseries apex - question about backlit colors

[nokturrduk84]

Hi, my friend wants to buy a keyboard & he liked this keyboard: Steelseries apex, but he wants to know if this keyboard has ability to select & have 1 color too? I mean, maybe he wants only red backlit. Does this keyboard have this option or it only has multicolors?

Don't buy that keyboard - it sucks. Just spend a little more and get a Ducky Zero.

ok, thx for reply. I have another question: My friend's priority is design of keyboards. I showed him ducky, but he didn't like it. I'm saying him to get mechanical keyboard, but he doesn't like their interior. He also liked this one: Is this any good?

Alienware TactX Keyboard

 

Or can you recommend me any good keyboard which has good design? something like that steelseris & alienware?

Does he know that this keyboard is not mechanical ?

Yes he knows, but it seems I can't change his mind. He wants more fancy looking rather than mechanical.

Maybe the Steelseries 6GV2 or otherwise there's the Logitech G710+ I believe too.

Maybe a Razer blackwidow? Those have a pretty cool design. Any of these ones below use cherry MX and have a gamer-skewed design.

EDIT

To answer the original quesiton, yes you can set a single backlight colour, that's just how RGB backlights are advertised in a still image.

Corsair K50 or K40 might be a good option. Fully Backlit and also RGB.

To actually answer your question, yes you can make the Apex all one color, and it is a fine keyboard for gaming, don't listen to people hating on it, the people on this forum are just used to all mechanical keyboards.
