Who is this keyboard best for?

For people who don’t mind hybrid switches and want a very reliable, well-built keyboard. Of course you also need to like RGB lighting (but who doesn’t?). However I wouldn’t recommend Apex 5 as your first mechanical keyboard because of the hybrid switches. Those are pretty good but you should start with the standard ones.
