SteelSeries Apex M750

SteelSeries Apex M750

With the Apex M750, SteelSeries presented its new flagship product in August 2017. Hence, the keyboard follows in the footsteps of the Apex M800.

Gaming Keyboard with New QX2 Switches

The SteelSeries Apex M750 is a relatively expensive mechanical gaming keyboard. It boasts a high-end aluminium casing, a unique, curvy design, RGB background lighting, individually programmable keys, and n-key rollover. The switches built in the Apex M750 are the new SteelSeries QX2 switches. These switches are produced in cooperation with the Chinese manufacturer Gateron, and they behave very similarly to the Cherry MX Red switches.

The new keyboard misses some of the extras the Apex M800 was equipped with. For example, the USB hub as well as the cable management solution were removed. The six macro keys are a thing of the past as well. However, the SteelSeries software still provides an opportunity to assign macros to any key. While not included in the price, a wrist rest can be ordered for an additional 15 USD.

New Software Features for Apex M750

SteelSeries strongly advertises the new software features that accompany the Apex M750. The so-called SteelSeries Engine is said to provide applications for intuitive and simple configuration of the keyboard and its illumination. The audio visualizer, for example, synchronizes the keyboard illumination with the playing music. ImageSynch can turn animated GIF images into lighting effects on the keyboard, and the Discord app uses the lighting to display notifications. Of course, there are also several apps to support diverse lighting effects in popular games like CS:GO and Dota 2.

"Ultimately, the SteelSeries Apex M750 is an excellent mechanical keyboard that is supported by an even better software package. However, it faces incredibly stiff competition from the dozens of companies offering similar products."

"The SteelSeries Apex M750 is an inexpensive RGB-backlit keyboard, but gets there by sacrificing other features—ones that existed on the previous Apex M800, even."

"The M750 has plenty going for it, including good SteelSeries-designed key switches, but its macro editor needs beefing up, and the price is high given features it lacks. A price drop will help its solid qualities shine through."
