QS1 switches are excellent. Cartainly comparable to Cherry MX, RGB backlighting is some of the best available, Solid construction, high built quality, Great remapping and back end customisation, Great space bar
Expensive, Not the best keyboard backlighting for the money, No wrist rest.
The Steelseries Apex M800 incorporates brand new mechanical switches which are comparable and possibly even better than Cherry MX switches. We don't want to delve too much into comparisons, as this is very much a personal choice decision, but Steelseries'...
Brilliant and uniform lighting, QS1 is a solid stand-in for the Cherry Red switch, Creative handling of Caps Lock/Num Lock indicators
Proprietary keycaps are flimsy, not easily replaced, The thing is huge, Tiring to type on after a few hours
If you can get past its biggish bones and that absurd spacebar, the Apex M800 is a solid option for those who want ultra-responsive keyboard switches—especially when it's on sale. SteelSeries' asking price of $200 is more than a bit ridiculous, eclipsing...

Excellent keyboard for twitch-based games, Every keys is remappable
Pricing could be a bit more competitive, Lack of dedicated media keys, Keys are too sensitive
SteelSeries appears to be targeting twitch-based games with their Apex M800 keyboard, and I'd say that it does a great job in those scenarios. You only need to press the keys 1.5mm before they're registered, and that can be the difference between making t...
A great low-profile option for gamers, QS1 switch is a great alternative switch, The SteelSeries Engine 3 software is excellent, with a seemingly endless amount of features and configuration options, Bright RGB LEDs with some very nice features, Can be us
Keycaps can't be changed, No wrist rest or key puller
The SteelSeries APEX M800 is currently retailing for just under $170 on the SteelSeries website. A great low-profile option for gamers QS1 switch is a great alternative switch The SteelSeries Engine 3 software is excellent, with a seemingly endless amount...

So is the Apex M800 Customizable Mechanical Gaming Keyboard the best one money can buy currently? Whenever I test keyboards or mice I always tell people that my opinion of that product may not match theirs so with that into account your needs ma...
QS1 switch improves upon the Cherry MX Red switch, Key illumination is bright and full with no blacked out areas, Nearly endless keybinding and illumination customization options, Solid construction and rugged design, SteelSeries Engine 3 continues to pro
Large price tag may put it out of reach of some
Forward >>Rod AndersonI purchased this KB, along with a Razer Chroma and an Corsair K70 RGB. Tested all 3 for about 2 weeks. The SteelSeries M800 became my main KB for my gaming system, the Razer I kept as well but assigned it to my secondary PC and the C...

SteelSeries really succeeded to make a difference with the brand new mechanical switch design, which is capable of lower 1.5mm actuation, a 3mm throw and 45cN force (similar to Cherry MX switches). The central LEDs now allow a more uniform lighting of the...

Top-quality mechanical switches, Nearly unlimited key lighting and programming customization options, USB pass-through,
Expensive, Large frame, Plastic body
The SteelSeries Apex M800 is a premium gaming keyboard outfitted with high-performance mechanical switches and a staggering number of customization options for key lighting and programming...
New-style key switches offer a unique feel, Configuration utility is easy to use, Unlimited profiles, Oversize spacebar, Handsome design
Pricey for the feature set, Only six macro buttons, Superficial macro editor, No volume or brightness dial, Keys lack well-defined edges
This mechanical keyboard packs attractive features (notably, a new kind of key switch) and elaborate lighting, but its few shortcut keys and superficial macro editor suggest you should wait for a price drop. Read More…...
