  • Lack of custom LEDs may be a con for some
  • When it comes to mechanical gaming keyboards, you've definitely got options. If you don't need all of the crazy RGB lightings, but want a keyboard that does exactly what it's supposed to do, the SteelSeries Apex M500 should be on your list. For its solid...

  • Excellent Build Quality, Cherry MX Red Mechanical Switches (50 Million Actuations), Per Key Illumination With 4 Stages And 2 Modes, N-Key Rollover, Unlimited Available Profiles, Unlimited Macro Keys,  ,
  • Minimalistic Design (For Some), Price (For Some),
  • Just like the 6Gv2 the Apex M500 by SteelSeries is a no-thrills mechanical keyboard so it doesn't feature a strange design and it lacks dedicated macro/media keys, USB ports and RGB key illumination. Because of that some people may call it borin...

  • For a moment, SteelSeries steps away from the curved shape that up until now has defined the Apex keyboard form. Instead of a teardrop cross-section, the Apex M500 has the appearance of a no-nonsense conventional computer keyboard. Sure enough, it has not...
