In principle, you can still use the keyboards as regular keyboards without any software. (after all, I doubt SteelSeries Engine will run in BIOS)
I'm not familiar with the new keyboards, but from a glance at the Apex Pro it seems you can control its settings using its built-in screen. I don't know whether they are accessible or complete without the accompanying software.
I also have doubts about whether the commands currently implemented in ApexCtl are recognized by the new keyboards, or if they even make sense. (old Apex keyboards have global or per-region settings, the Apex Pro seems to have per-key settings)
That's all I have at the moment. Checking and possibly adding these features to ApexCtl will require either getting a new Apex first or reverse-engineering SteelSeries Engine. (or possibly finding a specification for the features if one exists?)
Is this tool even maintained nowadays?
Will the rewrite make apexctl compatible with new keyboards in the series like the Apex Pro? I'd be interested in getting one if I knew I could use it on Linux (specifically, Fedora 30).
