The SteelSeries Apex Pro is a great keyboard for gamers, but it can also be used for a lot of different things. It has a special setting that lets you change how far a key has to move before it can be pressed. This lets you change how hard it is to press the key. You can turn it down to make games more responsive, or you can turn it up to make typing less prone to mistakes and accidental key presses. This keyboard is made very well, has dedicated media keys, and a nice magnetic wrist rest.
The SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL doesn’t try to look fancy, cool, or artistic. This is the first thing you’ll notice about it. Its design, on the other hand, leans more towards being strong and useful than pretty, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. With its soft-to-the-touch magnetic wrist rest, customizable OLED display, and, of course, RGB lighting, it tries to add some flair to an otherwise simple look. It’s not just that it looks strong.
It is, thanks to its strong aircraft-grade aluminium frame and fade-proof PBT keycaps that also have a textured surface to make them easier to hold. The OmniPoint 2.0 switches, on the other hand, are rated for 100 million presses, which is almost forever. Its TKL format is good for people who want something small but don’t want to give up the use of second-tier keys. At 355.44 x 139.26 x 40.44 mm, it doesn’t take up too much space and is great for smaller setups. It’s also not too heavy, but if you want something that’s easier to carry around, we’d recommend the SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Wireless instead.
The SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL has the company’s new and improved mechanical OmniPoint switches, which it calls OmniPoint 2.0. These switches are made to respond 11 times faster and be activated 10 times faster. A typical gamer might not notice the difference in milliseconds, but it will help in gaming, especially if you like fast-paced games where you often fight hordes. You can customise the Apex Pro TKL Wireless in SteelSeries GG in a lot of ways (arguably quite a bit more than you really need to be able to do).
You can set up primary and secondary keybinds, change the primary and secondary actuation points (in increments of 0.1mm from 0.2mm to 3.8mm), and assign dual bindings (up to eight).
On the customization side, there is a section for setting up the bright, per-key RGB lighting. You can also change the 128 x 40-pixel image that shows up on the OLED screen when it’s not showing other information (not very useful, but fun).
Through SteelSeries GG’s app/game integrations, the OLED screen can show more than just your custom image and how much battery life is left. It can also show information from apps and games, such as real-time hardware monitoring and Discord notifications.
