The SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Wireless might be a slightly older keyboard model these days, but it remains a seriously capable one with all the gaming power you’d expect from a name-brand choice with lots in the way of features – that’s adjustable actuation points, solid build quality, wireless connectivity, and a smaller form factor layout.
It’s been quite rare to see some of these Apex Pro keyboards go on discount, so this deal I’ve spotted on Amazon is all the more surprising, especially as it makes this ‘board better than half price at £100. It’s easily a new low price on such a capable keyboard that carries a comparably high £220 retail price, and well worth a look if you want a potent gaming keyboard.
The big draw with the Apex Pro Mini Wireless is the presence of SteelSeries’ OmniPoint switches, which are magnetic ones, as opposed to being traditionally mechanical. This has the benefit of meaning their actuation and reset points can be configured on a per-key basis, so you can change how far down the switch’s travel it needs to be pressed before an input is registered. This is particularly useful in high-intensity FPS scenarios when you need to be first in quick-draw scenarios, or for having it set to keys such as crouching or basic movement. It makes keyboards such as the Apex Pro Mini Wireless ‘faster’ than more standard mechanical choices, which is why the tech has become so ubiquitous in recent years, explaining the trend of the best rapid-trigger keyboards.
