It’s a feature most wouldn’t really consider as important until you’ve tried it for yourself. Thanks to SteelSeries OmniPoint 2.0 adjustable mechanical switches, initially featured in the Apex Pro, each key can be tweaked to adjust the sensitivity of each key depending on your preference. That being said, if you’re after something a little lighter, a wireless version of the Apex Mini Pro is available, which weighs in at just 543g. It does weigh in at 610g, which is a little on the heavier side, but it wouldn’t be fair to criticise it for its portable nature, given that is not the intent. It bears a tangible sense of weight and durability, ridding the keyboard of any bends and creaks both the keys and frame might be subject to on any other keyboard. Made from Series 5000 aircraft-grade aluminium alloy, to say this thing is solid would be an understatement. However, the true value of the Apex Pro Mini’s design lies in its build quality. The slim, black design is minimal and unassuming, while various RGB effects do their best to spruce up the keys. Much like many of the competing 60% form factor keyboards, it’s admittedly tough to throw anything interesting in terms of design at gamers that would draw them in for the sake of looks alone. That being said, the inclusion of OmniPoint 2.0 adjustable switches, dual actuation keys, SteelSeries GG app and a generally solid build quality, it’s quite hard to pass up. The premium price point will mostly drive causal gamers away, or those who are looking for a more robust experience that features a dedicated number pad and directional keys, which I now realise, I use more regularly than I thought. The Apex Mini Pro feels fantastic, and it without a doubt one of the better 60% keyboards in the market today. SteelSeries is no stranger to crafting premium gaming products in all areas, from handsets and gaming mice, to a wide range of gaming keyboards for a number of users and preferences.
