The Apex 5 combines the smoothness of a membrane switch with the higher durability, performance and the satisfactory tactile click of a mechanical blue switch, thus offering a premium gaming experience. The difference is in how the signal is processed: SteelSeries uses the membrane technique for this, where the key presses the membrane against the printed circuit board to send a signal. The new hybrid switches in the keyboard, like other fully mechanical switches, use a spring to provide resistance when you press the key. They use membrane-style buttons to actuate the keys, and incorporate mechanical elements so you get the sound, feel and touch of a mechanical switch. Hybrid-mechanical keys are a combination of membrane and mechanical elements and support up to 20 million keystrokes. What exactly is a “Hybrid Mechanical” keyboard?
