SteelSeries Apex 150 affordable gaming keyboard
SteelSeries has just announced the Apex 150 gaming keyboard. It boasts all the durability and advanced features in an affordable package.
The Apex 150 introduces SteelSeries’ new membrane switches.
These provide an ultra-fast and quiet key feel with a guaranteed 20-million click and splash resistance.
Apex 150 – Insane in the membrane
The Apex 150 features fully-programmable keys with advanced anti-ghosting and 24-key rollover to deliver fast-paced, accurate gaming.
The quick tension keys are designed for fast reaction times. How this works is that the tension membrane pulls the key into actuation, resulting in a tactile key feel and quiet operation. These switches are exclusive to SteelSeries.
RGB
The keyboard also features RGB lighting in five zones. Furthermore, this is all fully programmable with SteelSeries Engine software and compatible with SteelSeries apps such as Discord, PrismSync and the Audio Visualizer.
SteelSeries Engine
SteelSeries Engine now features chat notifications in partnership with Discord. This feature, introduced with the Apex M750, allows real-time chat notifications from Discord to be synced to SteelSeries illuminated products.
Streamers, gamers and esports players can light up the new Apex 150 with customisable notifications that indicate new messages, mute status and more.
In addition to Discord integration, SteelSeries Engine also includes other apps such as the Audio Visualizer, GameSense and PrismSync.
The Audio Visualizer syncs the illumination on the Apex 150 (and all SteelSeries illuminated products) with any music or playlist of the user’s choice.
Additionally, GameSense lighting provides reactive illumination. This responds to in-game events like low ammo, health, kills, money and cooldown timers.
Finally, PrismSync dynamically syncs multi-colour lighting effects between your board and all your SteelSeries Prism-enabled gear.
Price and availability
The Apex 150 is available now at steelseries.com/apex150 for £59.99.
