If the LEDs on your Apex keyboard are acting up, like showing the wrong colors or looking a bit off, here are a few suggestions that you can follow. Don't go AFK yet!
Step 1: Boot up your SteelSeries GG software.
Step 2: In the Engine tab, locate your keyboard in the device list. This is your command center for customizing your gear.
Step 3: Navigate to the Settings tab. On the left side, you'll see your region settings.
Step 4: Change your region to any other available option.
Step 5: Wait until the new region is confirmed. Then, switch back to your original region setting.

But if the issue still haunts your keys, it might be time to call in reinforcements. Reach out to our Support Team, and we’ll help you gear up for a warranty replacement.
Now, let’s talk about a scenario where LED is refusing to cooperate but the warranty has expired. This issue is often fixable. This isn’t a noob task, though—fixing one of your LEDs means identifying the problem and either repairing or replacing the faulty connection or component.
Here’s the breakdown:
-
Diagnose the problem: The issue could be with one of the RGB color channels (Red, Green, Blue). You’ll need to carefully locate where the problem is.
-
Precision soldering: If you’re confident with a soldering iron, you’ll need to carefully reconnect any faulty wiring. But remember, this isn’t like swapping out keycaps—precision is key to avoid bricking your board.
If you’re not a soldering wizard or feel like this quest is above your skill level, take your keyboard to a pro. They’ll make sure your RGB is back to full power without any risk of critical failure.
