Is that really worth 50 extra euro's?

Not really. I wouldn't go over the pricing of the Apex 7 even If I had a massive budget

Is the apex 7 better than a custom gmmk, 60%, gateron clear and tai hao caps?

It is tkl, it has red and it has red blue or brown mechanical gaming switches. Can't say anything about it being better than a gmmk though. That's up to you

[Cedri]

So I was thinking about buying a new keyboard. After some advice and googling I came across these 3 keyboards:

 

Logitech pro x

Steelseries apex 7

Custom gmmk, 60%, gateron clear, tai hao midnight green/white keycaps. Around 130 euro's all together.

 

If you know any other good keyboards or if these keyboards are very bad please tell me! Thanks in advance!

GMMK by far, don't waste your time with the other two boards.

Why are the other 2 so bad? and do you know other good keyboards like the gmmk?

both are too expensive for what they can offer, the gmmk offers the best value due to it being so customizable, giving you the room to make the keyboard that you actually want

The other two are built poorly and have awful keycaps for how much you're paying. All modern off-the-shelf "g4ming" keyboards are fucking terrible and you should avoid them at all costs. At least with the GMMK you can choose your switches and keycaps.

It depends on what you are looking out of it. If you are going for the fastest keyboard possible, then save for the apex pro, but if it is a matter of feel for you, then try and feel the switches and see what you like. just keep in mind that you will need to replace keycaps and things like that.

Which one has the best build quality? That is the most important for me, second is the switches but I heard that gateron linear switches are very smooth and that clears are very light to press one.

The reviews speak for me: https://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/B07SRCSML4/ref=cm_cr_unknown?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=five_star&reviewerType=all_reviews&pageNumber=1#reviews-filter-bar

 

Whenever I need a product, I read the reviews.

So far so good.. build quality is good.. you have 3 types of switches to choose from, detachable magnetic wrist rest.. unlimited customization of illumination and macros.. dedicated media keys.. USB passthrough

Are the cherry mx reds just as good as the gateron clears?

IF you want build quality, gmmk all the way.

Nope, a gmmk is better in every way.

Gateron clears will be a lot smoother, and also lighter. If you want the same activation force you can get gateron reds.

 

I'd definitely get the GMMK over those other 2 for the ability to use better switches.

It honestly doesn't matter a ton if you're looking for linears. Just find the cheapest keyboard with Gateron Clears if you like them. What you could do for funsies is buy a Dell AT101W and Linear mod it.
