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.

The slim, low-profile design includes a cable management system, and quick-access multifunction keys.
