## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone go from a corsair board to this? Thoughts on comparison mainly from the k95 platinum or k70 mk2 to this apex 7 both with brown switches? thanks**
A: The top of the Apex 7 is plastic (despite being advertised as "aircraft grade aluminum") so it feels cheaper. The customization software is far more intuitive than iCUE and the board can handle 15 hardware effects instead of the 5 on the K95 Platinum or K70 Mk.2 (but it also can't do more via software like the Corsair). No RGB logo/lightbar or dedicated media keys, but instead you get an OLED screen and can still access media keys via the roller and button (the roller clicks down too).

**Q: What's the oled display for? i have been using the keyboard for a week now, and the oled displays nothing but its logo.**
A: You can add different gifs or pictures to the display, it’s also there to navigate different keyboard lighting settings, etc.

**Q: Is the Palm rest removable?**
A: Yes it is removable

**Q: Can this keyboard be connected to more than one computer at a time?**
A: Yes, but you'll probably need a KVM switch or something along those lines that lets you toggle input from one computer to the next.
