I really love this keyboard it may not be cheapest but it’s features make it worth the money I would defenetly recommend this to some of you want to game or just the cool keyboard I defnetly should of gotten the 100 percent just for the extra features but the 60 percent is still sweet

I have used a lot of mechanical keyboards over the years, and the SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Gen 3 is by far the best gaming keyboard I have ever had the privilege to engage with. From the moment I plugged it in, I could feel the difference. The responsive time is lightning fast, and the minimalistic aesthetics will vibe on any setup.
Out of the box, the design of this keyboard is compact, and when I say compact, I mean compact – Did I mention how compact this keyboard is, no? Well, this keyboard is ridiculously compact. Despite being about the size of a burrito bowl, this keyboard feels very well-made and has some neat additions, like the hidden key clip underneath the unit. The 60% feels more like 45’ish, because yeah, it is so compact. SteelSeries throws us a little bit of a curve with the narrowing of this board by what they trimmed to achieve the overall size. For me, the most notable, which has resulted in the most, oh yeah, they aren’t on this keyboard, are the missing arrow keys. I guess I did not realize when working in Excel how much I use the arrow keys. This is my only concern and point to note for potential buyers. Please make sure that you are fully comfortable with the missing keys. SteelSeries did include an F function key to allow for keys to have multiple uses. This becomes an excellent segue into the SteelSeries GG Quickset software. This package enables customization among SteelSeries devices, but it is really where the standout feature comes, and you pay for what you get with this device. The endless options and customization allow you to fully interact with what each key does, how fast it responds, and, of course, the lighting of the RGB. The rapid trigger & tap key are basically cheating in some situations. But my personal favorite is the Protection Mode. I am, at best, a novice on the mouse keyboard. I use it, but I am not great since I usually play on the computer with a controller. So the Protection Mode helps me prevent miss clicks by reducing the sensitivity of the surrounding keys. It's subtle but helps the smoothness of my gameplay tremendously, especially in full panic mode gameplay situations. SteelSeries claims these Omnipoint 3.0 Hypermagnetic switches are the fastest in the world currently. Although that may feel like talismanic talk to hype up the product, the measurable proof is in the usage, and I would have to say that I am currently faster than Mr. Bolt.
For me, if this product is in your wheelhouse as a top tier higher level peripheral, then this is hands down a must have recommended buy. From its styling, features, and whimsical app, this unit is going to give your gaming setup a memorable experience.
