Customer Ratings & Reviews

This keyboard is by far the best i’ve ever used!!!

Bought this for my son. He love Les this brand. He says it’s a really great gaming keyboard.

It is so good. I lightly touched the crate keys as the wind blows over my keyboard it activates.

One of the "faster" keyboards on a mini version for those who need extra space on their desk

Small in size but works great. Definitely recommend

For those unfamiliar with the wacky world of alternative keyboard layouts, the Apex Pro Mini is what is known as a 60%, a reference to how many keys it has compared to the standard 104. Taking the idea of the tenkeyless board (a keyboard without the number pad) to the extreme, this style also removes the F-keys, navigation keys (arrows and ins, home, etc.), and control keys (print screen, scroll lock, pause break), relegating them to combination keys activated by a button next to R-Ctrl. The arrow keys are cleverly mapped to WASD, F keys are mapped to the number keys, and the bottom row of keys handle the typical set of alternate functions that are usually mapped to the F-keys, such as the volume, brightness, and media controls. Typing on the Steelseries Apex Pro Mini 3 feels amazing. The Omnipoint 3.0 switches have adjustable levels of actuation, so you don't have to "bottom out" every key you press for it to register (though that is an option). At the highest sensitivity level (0.1mm) you barely have to breathe on the keys to get them to register. The key action is so smooth and buttery. The keys themselves have a slight matte finish. The entire thing feels like typing on electric velvet. Typing on this keyboard makes me think of the movie Naked Lunch, and the weird head thing that Peter Weller sticks his hands into to type, but in a good way. While this keyboard is great for gaming, especially with features like key protection which prevents you from accidentally pressing keys next to ones that you tend to mash on, if you are a spreadsheet warrior with decades of experience and muscle memory using the F-keys you may want to stick with a more traditional setup. I never realized how much I use the arrow keys, especially in Excel, but even just typing this review and trying to edit and fix a missed word I catch myself reaching for buttons and finding nothing but air. Having to carve a new path in my brain that says "no dummy, use your pinky to hold this button down and just WASD it up" really makes the back of my skull itch from the inside. And forget about the F-keys. I can't count the number of times I tried to reach up to F5 a website or F4 a program or F2 a file I wanted to rename, only Thelma and Louise my finger off the top of the keyboard and accidentally type a number with my intermediate phalange. The RGB lighting on the keyboard feels tasteful and not overdone. They don't feel blindingly bright, the light seems to feel almost fuzzy and soft, keeping with the smooth feel of the keys. Even the sound the keys make is a light subdued thock instead of a clickety clack. Almost like chopping into a tree made of soft wood. The included USB A to C cable has a braided protective sheath and is nice and long. This keyboard is the perfect companion to my handheld gaming pc. The small footprint makes it easy to pack along, though I wish there was some sort of cover, both for protecting it in transit but also so that to protect it from dust and not-so-accidental cat typing (they do it when they are hungry to get my attention). And the software to customize the keyboard, called Steelseries GG, is something people should be downloading anyways if only for the Sonar app that lets you route the audio from any app to a specific device), so I'm fine with having it on my PC. And while I do have a separate numpad to supplement my tenkeyless, I'm now looking out for a separate navigation pad just for the days I have to work from home.
