SteelSeries' minimalistic, mechanical keyboard is for competitive gamers

SteelSeries has revealed a new mechanical gaming keyboard which is ‘tournament-ready’ and aimed at eSports professionals and aspiring competitive players.

The Apex M500 uses Cherry MX Red switches, meaning they’re linear switches that don’t click and actuate with the slightest pressure. They’re also guaranteed for up to 50 million key presses – though we doubt anyone will be counting.

You also get blue LED backlighting with the ability to choose between four levels of brightness, which can be adjusted for each individual key, so you can make certain letters stand out.

Furthermore, there’s 100% anti-ghosting tech on board, meaning that players can mash…er, sorry, we mean press as many keys as they like, and all of them will register without fail.

Mechanical and minimalist

This SteelSeries keyboard doesn’t go for a particularly flashy look, and that’s by design, as the company notes it wanted minimalist aesthetics and believes that keyboards shouldn’t look like they came through some kind of ‘portal from the future’.

The no-nonsense vibe also means a solid build quality, with tough plastic used in the construction of this peripheral, and the chassis benefits from a steel backplate to help boost overall durability.
