  • 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...

  • Time to present our findings. The 22 keyboards that we tested come down to two price ranges. The “affordable” segment, which are the keyboards with an average price up to £150 and the high-end models, which start from £150. Interestingly, we find 11 keybo...

  • After testing 16 different mechanical keyboards we can safely say that when it comes to the typing experience most of the models are a lot alike. This is mostly because of the used technique; everything with the Cherry MX switches has the same key sizes...

  • Quiet, low-profile keys, Consistent, comfortable typing, Good software, RGB backlighting
  • No dedicated media buttons, Awkward USB ports, Only plastic throughout
  • SteelSeries Apex M800: Performance The M800 might not have familiar CherryMX switches, but the QS1 switch has the same actuation force as CherryMX Red hardware – 45cN. That's low for a mechanical keyboard and low when compared to other CherryMX switches...
