Tin Salamunic: Switching keyboards is like getting a new car. There’s an adjustment period, and everything feels foreign for a while. Using SteelSeries’ APEX Gaming Keyboard for the first time reminded me of shifting from my old Sentra to a new Mustang. It’s bigger, it has more features than I can wrap my head around and it takes a few days before driving becomes second nature. Much like the Mustang, the APEX is a gorgeous monstrosity. Its intimidating size, measuring 2.05 (H) by 22.05 (W) by 8.66 (D) inches, exhibits a sense of grandeur and supremacy without sacrificing elegance. This is the kind of peripheral that completely dominates its surroundings with its colorful illumination zones and stylish design.
The Apex 5 is a premium feeling keyboard that manages to pack in a satisfying amount of customization and performance at a relatively budget friendly price.
Steelseries is has a well-deserved reputation for selling high-quality mechanical keyboards. How does the Apex M750 compare with the rest of their product? Check out our SteelSeries Apex M750 TKL Review to find out exactly how.
NGB Wrote: "The SteelSeries Apex M800 is a superb mechanical keyboard, whose QS1 switches straddle the line between the feel of traditional Cherry MX switches and the quiet nature of a membrane keyboard perfectly. With virtually unlimited customisation options, SteelSeries have produced a serious contender in the highly competitive gaming keyboard market at the top end, and can surely only improve things through advances in the SteelSeries Engine 3 software. The only two quibbles I have with it are the fact that it has a plastic construction (even though it is really sturdy) and that price tag. However, if you’re willing to drop some serious cash on your peripherals, it’s really hard not to recommend the M800."
