SteelSeries removed all the bells and whistles from the regular Apex keyboard and released a [RAW] version of the peripheral – without the spare USB ports, cloth-wrapped cable, and selective illumination by zone, among other things. However, it kept the basics: 17 macro keys (that can store 34 macros), the excellent configuration software, and the stylish angled design. Let’s describe it first and then see how this “less sophisticated” Apex fared.

Factory Refurbished in brand new packaging.

Introducing the SteelSeries Apex [RAW], a gaming keyboard designed to enable users to react quickly, move effortlessly, and customize its performance for every game. Effortlessly navigate your way around the keyboard with raised macro keys, and a unique W-key with tactile bumps for improved WASD speed, along with the visual support of bright white illumination.

The macro keys above the F-keys feature a raised design that allow you to locate them without looking and execute devastatingly fast key combinations. Simply swipe your finger down from the macro key onto the F-key for quick key combinations.

Find your way in the dark and locate your macros with brilliant white illumination featuring 8 levels of intensity.

Simply hold down the SteelSeries key and tap the Windows key to disable it. This simple key combination will disable and enable the windows key without the need for software or complicated menus.

There’s no need to install software of any kind in order to use the Apex [RAW]. Without software many features will work including disabling of the windows key and more. However, for the full experience and for the gamers who want really advanced customization options, the Apex [RAW] is supported by SteelSeries Engine technology.

Apex [RAW] is made up of sleek lines and low-profile keys that bring together beautiful form and optimized function.

The Apex [RAW] features 17 independent macros keys that are each capable of up to 2 layers. This equates to 34 potential macros.

Simply hold down the SteelSeries key and tap the Windows key to disable it. This simple key combination will disable and enable the windows key without the need for software or complicated menus.

Small bumps on the W-key provides a faster return to WASD. When you quickly have to type a message or execute a command, we want to make sure that you find your way back to WASD as quickly as possible without having to look.

Switch between macro layers quickly and easily thanks to 2 quick-access keys on the upper left corner that allow you to select your desired macro layer.

Swappable rubber feet allow you to find the most comfortable gaming angle for those long gaming sessions.

    All my old bulky keyboards sitting in the garage for 10+ years can be called 'gaming keyboard' these days.

    • My 10+ year old keyboards in the shed may be mechanical but don't have illuminated keys, Windows® key disable or macro functions.

  • I was looking for a decent keyboard with the backlight. This deal is quite contemporary.

    Though on the site it's on no backlight group, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tWHEJ-dXLc

      from what i can tell, it looks like its the illuminated keys, as the videos say its only white which is the RAW one.

      • Illuminated keys is exactly what I'm after.
        So already ordered one )))

      • Correct. Steelseries Apex RAW keyboard only has one colour (white) as a backlight. The full non RAW steelseries apex has colour zones selectable from installed software that comes with it. These are good keyboards, I've purchased the non RAW version for $99 on special a short while back.

  • Needed a new keyboard because keys are occasionally getting stuck on my IBM that's older than me (it's already a "gaming" keyboard apparently, see above :D ), was planning on trying a budget mechanical gaming keyboard but meh, I like the price and the non-standard keys and it looks comfortable.

    Read 2x reviews at places I don't usually go but no Tom's or Anandtech review are that it's solid for the price although not a must buy budget keyboard. They particularly like the raised row of function (macro) keys since this allows you to know which level of keys your on without lookin'.
