Engineered for SpeedInspired by the design of the popular Apex gaming keyboard, SteelSeries set out to make the fastest mechanical gaming keyboard without compromise. We thought of everything: from the low-profile design to the fast-reacting switches to the dual processors. |
Unlimited CustomizationWhether you like to destroy your enemies, explore new areas of the latest x-pac or build a new city, the Apex M800 has virtually unlimited ways in which to customize it to make it yours. From advanced custom lighting schemes, to advanced text macro creation, to in-game integration, the M800 has everything you need to make it yours. |
Attention to DetailWe obsessed over the angle of attack of the keyboard to make sure that your hands wouldn’t tire as quickly as they would with a traditional board. We sweated over the ideal key shape to allow you to glide faster between key strokes. We even insisted on a clear dome on the illuminated switches – so the keys would be the brightest on the market. It’s the little things that matter. |

Newly-Designed SwitchesWith a smooth linear action and 25% faster actuation than the traditional mechanical switch, the QS1 is built for pure speed. QS1 switches have a 3 millimeter throw depth, a 1.5 millimeter actuation and only require a 45cN actuation force. All of the design choices in the QS1 switch specifications were made with two goals in mind: react faster and spend less wasted effort as you destroy your competition! |
Low-Profile LayoutThe M800 keyboard is built at a low angle and with an optimally designed linear key layout that cuts down on finger travel distance. This allows for seamless, quick transitions between keys and across the keyboard for less fatigue on your fingers no matter how furiously they fly. |
Dual ProcessorsYour 600 APM would go to waste if the brains of the keyboard couldn’t keep up. That’s why we added an additional CPU inside the M800 that is dedicated only to processing key presses. No lag, no excuses. And when the gaming gets hectic, N-key rollover allows up to 256 key presses at once with zero issues. |
Custom ProfilesConfigure and save as many variations in your keyboard’s lighting and programming as you want and instantly remap them with the touch of a button. Fire up a game and SteelSeries Engine recognizes that, instantly changing settings for you. When you change over to a different game your fine-tuned settings will switch right along with you. |

Quick-Access KeysThe left side of the keyboard features 6 quick-access macro keys. This gives you more choice, customization and control right at your fingertips. And just like every other key on the Apex M800, these are also fully programmable. |
Individual Key IlluminationAll of the LEDs on the M800 are individually customizable and feature a centered LED and a clear switch housing. The new keys are the perfect solution to show off your keyboard’s 16.8 million colors and 8 brightness levels with crisp illumination and minimal light bleed. |
N-Key RolloverApex M800 is a zero ghosting gaming keyboard. In game mode you could press up to 256 keys at the same time. Thankfully you don’t have that many fingers, the M800 doesn’t have that many keys, so you never have to worry about a missed key strike in the heat of battle. |
Cable ConvenienceNo more worrying about cables getting in the way of your gamplay, we crafted a cable management routing area under the center of the keyboard. SteelSeries also built in a USB 2.0 hub to give you quick access to your USB devices. |
