as well as hyperx all right guys welcome to the steel series Suite we're checking
out the m800 keyboard This is similar to their last Apex and the idea that it has
the replaceable rubber plug feed on the bottom and a lower and higher profile
setting it has dual USB hub ports on the back which aren't powered but you'll be
able to do some minor stuff with them and then other than that there's some
changes the layout is changed a little bit there's slightly less macro keys but
that's probably fine cuz you probably weren't using all of them anyways and
there's individual Lighting on each one of the keys instead of Zone lighting
like they had before I think there was about five zones before now it's individual lighting everywhere which is
going to be a lot better they've switched to their own key switch which
now has 3 mm of total travel distance and a 1.5 mm actuation Point compared to
cherri's which is 4 mm of total travel distance and a 2mm actuation Point these
key switches are also rated for 60 million presses and have a fairly
interesting design as you can probably see on the screen right now one thing
that you do need to note is that the stem is not a Cherry MX compatible stem
so you cannot put on Cherry MX key switches custom but it does come with a
few swappable things so if you want to use it on an Apple computer you can swap
out for command keys or whatever you want to do in that realm this key switch
is a linear key switch and the waiting is probably going to be somewhere
between a red and a black that's what they're telling me right now although I
don't know the exact waiting specification for that key switch quite
yet like I said before there's individual key switch lighting there's
an LED in the middle of the switch which is able to do 16.8 million colors which
is customizable in their software another thing to note is that the key
caps themselves are also a lot shorter just like the travel distance so you'll
notice quite a big difference typing on this keyboard compared to a full-size
key cap and a cherry travel distance keyboard not necessarily a bad thing
just a difference thank you for watching this video if you want to see all the rest of our CES content be sure to
