SteelSeries Releases the ‘Apex 150’ Gaming Keyboard
SteelSeries, who I’ve regularly covered here at PocketFullOfApps, has announced their newest gaming keyboard: the APEX 150. Sold at a pretty affordable and reasonable price point, the Apex 150 offers durability and a good suite of features for its price.
The keyboard features SteelSeries‘ new membrane switches that offer ultra-fast and quiet key feel while having a guarantee of 20-million presses. The Apex 150 also sports RGB lighting in five zones that are fully programmable with SteelSeries Engine software, which is a nice touch. For those wondering if the switches are Cherry MX or similar, they are unfortunately not and exclusive to SteelSeries only.
The only information available about the switches is the fact that they are “quick tension switches” according to the website. These switches are designed for for fast reaction times and the tension membrane’s design pulls the key into actuation for a tactile feel. Priced at $49.99, it seems pretty reasonable for an entry-level mechanical gaming keyboard. You can purchase it on the SteelSeries website by clicking here.
