The Apex M800 is a medium sized hard plastic keyboard and so it measures 510mm in length, 174mm in width and weighs 1390g.

Since we had the G910 Orion Spark here at the time we started working on the Apex M800 we decided to place them next to each other to see that they are quite similar in size.

As expected from any high-end gaming keyboard the Apex M800 has a column of 6 fully programmable macro keys on the far left side.

Some people have told me that the large space bar is not very easy to use but i think it makes things easier while playing fast paced games.

The company logo is placed on the upper right corner of the keyboard.

A LED stripe is placed on both sides of the keyboard.

The Apex M800 also has two USB ports at the front center as you can see from the above picture.

At the base of the keyboard we see four large round rubber feet.

The two placed on the upper end can be swapped with the bundled ones

Here you can see the height difference between the two rubber feet pairs.

At the end of the 2 meter long braided cable we see two USB plugs (not gold plated).

The QS1 mechanical switches consist by a square plunger with a small spring a combination which results in more than just enough space in the middle for a LED (the end result is improved key illumination compared to regular mechanical keyboards).
