Closer Look

As soon as you lift the Apex M500, you realize how sturdy and solid it actually is. Steelseries has created a keyboard that gives you a sense of maximum quality at any time. The whole keyboard is made of plastic with different finishes, including the wrist rest. The advantage of this standard layout is that the keyboard features a standard layout without additional macro or multimedia keys eating up a lot of spacce. This is quite an advantage and especially during LAN parties you'll appreciate the compact form factor. The Apex M500 is a mechanical keyboard and it's based on Cherry MX Red switches which provide good tactile feedback. A quick look around shows there is a USB hub but there are no audio jacks. In order to program macros you can use the software, which you download from the manufacturers website.

Back

The back of this particular keyboard isn't special. There is the usual label showing the serial of the product and there are four rubber feet, on in each corner. Obviously there are two small feet, also with rubber ends, which allow for tilting the keyboard to a certain angle.
