CONCLUSION

   It took some time for SteelSeries to release a high-end gaming keyboard after their highly anticipated and award winning Apex M800 model and although the Apex M750 isn't exactly just as impressive still it delivers where it really counts. Quality is top notch (just as good if not better compared to the M800), the floating keys design is certainly much easier to clean and the new QX2 switches seem and feel far more durable than their QS1 ones (they are a bit louder however and are certified for up to 50m actuations and not 60m as the QS1). We did like the design and the extend of the RGB system on the M800 more than that of the M750 but the latter seems brighter than the former so that may or may not be something people will care about. Once again SteelSeries has used two sets of different height rubber feet instead of height adjusters and although they do feel steadier they just don’t raise the keyboard as much from the desk. As for the Engine 3 software well we’ve used it so many times already that we don’t have much to say about it. It still needs work (too dark and resource hungry) but it’s one of the most detailed and easy to use (not to mention it’s unified) so there’s not anything to complain really.

   The Apex M750 Aluminum Core Mechanical Esports Keyboard carries a price tag currently of USD139.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 115Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) so it’s priced way beneath the M800 at launch. Sure you’re not getting the same impressive gaming keyboard (in terms of looks) as the M800 but the M750 with its QX2 switches and the aerospace-grade aluminum frame not only looks but also feels more durable and honestly you’ll really have a hard time finding something just as good at around the same price point which is why we give the Apex M750 by SteelSeries our Golden Award.
