SteelSeries Apex Gaming Keyboard Capsule Review

After the hype from Corsair's K70 RGB since its announcement early this year, mechanical RGB keyboards became all the rage. Several companies even managed to beat Corsair to the punch and release an RGB mechanical keyboard first, such as the tenkeyless...

And these are only the mechanical keyboards that threaten the SteelSeries Apex; there are even more membrane keyboard at lower prices (too many to effectively list). They do not have the number of extra keys or the RGB backlighting that the Apex does,...

SteelSeries Apex gaming keyboard

A flashy and comprehensive keyboard that's well suited to gaming

Practical layout and implementation of macros keys ; Great additions such as multi-zone illumination and oversized space bar

Integrated wrist rest leaves no room for adjustment ; A bit pricey for a membrane-based keyboard

The SteelSeries Apex does a good job of securing its place as a premium, membrane-based keyboard. While the design and illumination is compelling, it may be tempting to pay a bit more to get a mechanical keyboard instead.

SteelSeries Apex review

You'll notice right away just how large the Apex is. The palm rest isn't an optional accessory as it is with many other keyboards, so it comes out of the box in one large unit. The length is also exaggerated by the many macro and media keys on either...

The SteelSeries Apex was made with gaming enthusiasts in mind, from the flashy customizable colours and macro keys to the addition of diagonal directional keys to minimize key presses. Once you've got your fancy new gaming rig, you'll want a keyboard...

Steelseries Apex Gaming Keyboard Review

For a non-mechanical keyboard the Steelseries Apex works really well and is supported by some excellent intuitive software which made the process of adding macros or adjusting the various lighting effects a dream.
