Coming from Cherry MX Browns, I had some reservations about OmniPoint. The Browns have a tactile point which I liked. I had tried MX Reds, and wasn't a fan of the linear feel. With these Omni switches being linear, I was unsure but somehow compelled to pass on the Apex 7 with MX Browns and go Pro. TBH, I was half expecting to return it. Needless to say.... I was surprised when I hooked this up!
First off... dat switch. Wow. SUPER smooth. The inherent scratchiness of linear MX switches is GONE. It feels like the keycaps are just sort of floating over the brushed aluminum base. The adjustment ability is unique compared to most mechanical boards, bringing a true Hall Effect switch to people. (Look up Hall Effect... gets a little complex for explanation here, but very cool) Actuation can be adjusted from a light brush on the keys (probably overkill) to making the switch bottom out completely. This can also be done on a per key basis. Lot of range to play with!
Another key strength... the RGB lighting. Its nothing short of fantastic. The raised caps let the bright and vibrant lighting spill over the board itself, creating a very cool and clean lighting effect. Even for those who don't much care about RGB lighting, it's very tastefully done here.
Typing is unreal. I spent 15 mins just typing random weirdness on a word doc just for them feels when I first hooked it up. And for some reason, I find myself with a lot less errors compared to old board with the Browns. I'd commonly get keypress duplication (as if I held the key down) with that switch, and with these Omni switches, it doesn't happen anymore. Of course, these Omni switches are much quieter than the tactile Browns given their linear nature.
Not much bad to say here. Some minor gripes would be somewhat "meh" software from Steelseries and the keycaps being ABS instead of something like double-shot PBT caps. The latter feel much sturdier and more premium, and I suppose one could buy some PBT caps if it was a huge issue. Not sure how that would affect the lighting though. The small B&W OLED screen in the upper right doesn't add much in reality, but its kind of a geeky fun thing that you can customize with whatever you want. It does have some functionality with brightness and other features, which is nice to have versus having to use the software. Also, only the primary keys have Omni switches. All the F keys, num pad, and extra function keys are on a generic linear switch that feels good enough. Would be nice to have all keys on omni switches, but it makes sense from a cost perspective and isn't a big deal to me.
All in all, fantastic keyboard that towers over my old Gskill in every respect. I really wish MS terrible updates hadn't bricked old board, but I guess things happen for a reason. If you have the cash and want a great analog-based mechanical keyboard with adjustable hall effect switches.... this is the one for you. Very hard to fault this board. Steelseries done good here.
The best thing for me, and this is HUGE are how the keys feel. The best way I can describe the tactile feel is the perfect amount of back pressure (and my description falls super short of the actual feeling).
The model I purchase was the quiet mechanical.
The only negative I saw on this keyboard is it has two USB connections to plug in, this may be an issue if your goal is to use it with a laptop.

Great for pro players and plebs like me.
It's not a silent KB like some people say.
*had to buy 2, since one got lost upon delivery, so I got it 3 weeks late
The finish is a pleasant feeling matte black which looks nice and doesn't show fingerprints. The edges are also rounded which makes using the keyboard on my lap more comfortable. Construction feels solid but the keyboard is relatively light weight and doesn't feel cumbersome to lift or move.
I'm not an expert on switches but the keys feel really nice. I messed around a bit with the adjustable actuation software, and it's pretty cool, though I ended up sticking with the default setting. The lighting is lovely, bright, and sufficiently customizable. One feature about the lighting that made me want to buy this keyboard is that the SHIFT characters on the number row keys are illuminated. It's baffling how more expensive competing products fail to do that.
The mini OLED screen on the keyboard is more or less worthless for practical real-world use, but it's aesthetically pleasing, and you can add your own image, so I'm not mad. I was concerned because one Youtube review described the OLED/media scroll and button as feeling cheap and flimsy, but I don't find that to be true.
If I had to criticize anything, I'd say the footprint might actually be too small. There is practically nowhere to grip the keyboard if you have to pick it up. First world problems.

Love the response and the way that I can customize each key to have its own actuation.
Mini display isn't that useful for me so I just put on a custom gif to it.
The only thing I don't like is the software would randomly crashed without any error, not very often.
