The Gear Of Champions
The Evil Geniuses line was designed in collaboration with one of the best esports teams in the world, and is only available on SteelSeries.com.

Cherry MX Reds
Known for their low (45cN) actuation force, Cherry MX Red switches provide rapid actuation through a light keypress - perfect for fast double taps.

Built Like a Tank
Reinforced with a steel back plate and formed with the toughest plastics, the Apex M500's construction and materials can withstand almost anything.
White LED Illumination
White LEDs under every single key provide the brightest visibility and eye-catching style. Choose between 3 different breathe settings with 4 individual levels of brightness.

Evil Geniuses
The EG product line is the same as the team uses during training and tournaments. EG is one of Dota2’s most winning teams, dudes we like, and a steady partner to test and improve our gear.
