Review - SteelSeries Apex RAW Gaming Keyboard

Known for premium PC gaming peripherals at a premium price point (for the most part) it’s refreshing to see that SteelSeries has opted for more affordable, but no less well built, peripherals to kick off its 2013 product range. The first device out of the blocks is the Apex Gaming Keyboard, a hulking behemoth built to take the kind of punishment that only hardcore gamers know how to dish out to their input devices.

The first thing you’ll notice about the Apex is its size. It’s definitely not your average typist’s board. Dwarfing everything else we’ve got in the office by quite a large amount, it’s built to be the ideal gaming accessory thanks to its robust, low profile and fast action keys. 17 programmable macro keys, each sporting two layers, add a phenomenal level of functionality for the most complicated titles out there today.
