The tournament-grade SteelSeries Apex M800 is the world’s fastest and most
programmable mechanical gaming keyboard. It gives you the quick response and
personal control to master your favorite games.
Our newly-engineered QS1 Switch, the low-profile layout of the keyboard and
dual processors all help to ensure swift transitions between keys, minimal
finger fatigue and consistently fast key strikes.
Powerful software and hardware features make Apex Mech Elite incredibly
customizable. You can switch between unlimited custom profiles, rebind all keys,
custom lighting schemes, or use powerful text-based macros. Keys feature N-key
rollover allowing 256 key presses at once. The slim, low-profile design
includes a cable management system, and quick-access multifunction keys.
