Mechanical keyboards are all the rage these days. Every PC gamer worth their salt should consider picking one up. The problem is, there’s just so many of them out there. Available in varying prices, features, and looks, picking the right keyboard for you can be a daunting task. Given that these keyboards can cost upwards of a hundred dollars, going mechanical is an investment.
We’ve reviewed some of the more expensive offerings in the mechanical keyboard market over the past couple years, with keyboards that light up in a multitude of colors and offer features that would have been unheard of in gaming peripherals a decade ago. For gamers on a budget, some of these more expensive offerings might be well out of their range. Given that it would be unfair to restrict hardcore PC gaming to only gamers with the deepest wallets, SteelSeries has ventured to produce a pro-performance gaming keyboard that’ll cater to any gamer on a budget and still offer them the features they need to up their game.
Enter the SteelSeries Apex M500, the company’s latest mechanical keyboard. It’s built for simplicity and doesn’t offer all the flourishes—the bells and whistles—that you might find on a Ducky Shine 5 or a Razer Blackadder Chroma. However, what it does offer is a gaming keyboard that’s built to perform. If you don’t care about how your keyboard looks and aren’t exactly looking to impress anyone at a LAN event outside of your gaming skills, the Apex M500 might just be the driver you’re looking for.
