  • Abstract:  It seems like SteelSeries might be trying to take over your computer room, and if you're anything like me you'll willingly let them. The company is constantly updating their lineup of high quality headphones, keyboards, and mice, all of which have had a s...

  • The M800 is nothing short of great. The feeling is unmatched and the keys are easier than ever to program, personalize and use. Having the ability to assign custom macros and lighting schemes to each key on automatically switching profiles offers a powerf...

  • If you can get past its biggish bones and that absurd spacebar, the Apex M800 is a solid option for those who want ultra-responsive keyboard switches—especially when it's on sale. SteelSeries' asking price of $200 is more than a bit ridiculous, eclipsing...
