SteelSeries - Apex Pro TKL V2 Wired HyperMagnetic Gaming Keyboard – With Rapid Tap, Rapid Trigger, Adjustable Actuation - Black

I've been using the SteelSeries Apex Pro 2023 TKL Wired Mechanical Keyboard for nearly a year, and it has been an exceptional addition to my gaming and typing setup. The first thing that stands out about this keyboard is the OmniPoint 2.0 adjustable actuation switches. The ability to customize the actuation point for each key is a game-changer. Whether I'm gaming and need rapid, responsive key presses, or typing and prefer a slightly longer actuation, this keyboard adapts perfectly to my needs. The keys are incredibly smooth and responsive, making both gaming and typing a pleasure. The TKL (tenkeyless) design is compact and frees up valuable desk space, which I appreciate. Despite the smaller size, the keyboard still feels sturdy and well-built. The aluminum frame adds a premium feel and ensures durability, which has held up well over the past year. The RGB backlighting is vibrant and customizable through the SteelSeries Engine software. I love being able to set different lighting profiles and effects to match my gaming setup. The software itself is user-friendly, making it easy to adjust settings and create macros. One of the standout features is the OLED Smart Display. It's a unique addition that allows me to see useful information like in-game stats, Discord messages, or even system information directly on the keyboard. It adds a layer of convenience and enhances the overall user experience. The detachable magnetic wrist rest is another highlight. It's comfortable and provides excellent support during long gaming or typing sessions. The magnetic attachment is strong and ensures the wrist rest stays in place without being cumbersome. In terms of connectivity, the wired connection is reliable, ensuring there are no input lag issues during intense gaming sessions. The cable is braided and durable, showing no signs of wear after a year of use. Overall, the SteelSeries Apex Pro 2023 TKL has been a fantastic investment. Its customizable actuation, compact design, vibrant RGB, and additional features like the OLED display and wrist rest make it stand out from other mechanical keyboards. If you're looking for a high-performance keyboard that adapts to your needs and provides a premium experience, this model is definitely worth considering.

Great keyboard. New update that adds rapid trigger makes it tied for the best gaming keyboard for esports titles with the Wooting60he. Wooting60he has a better interface and a web based software. The steelseries software is REALLY annoying but I have all steel series devices so it works out fine for me. With this particular keyboard however you don’t even need software because it has the OLED screen and you can set everything up through that. Also can customize the OLED screen. This keyboard I feel like just hits every single pinpoint for every type of gamer. Hands-down the best for competitive gaming but even for casual gamers who are looking for a keyboard to both game and type on you can’t go wrong with the 10 keyless set up. Do you still have all your important key is well keeping it in somewhat of a smaller form factor so it doesn’t take up too much space. I went with the 60% layout for a while but it just got so annoying not having certain keys. Also the function button on 60% keyboard doesn’t work and start up so if you want to get into the bios for instance you’ll have to map a key to F2 and I had to map a key to delete in case I ever needed to control alt delete to get into the task manager. Switching back to a keyboard that has these keys but only takes up a few extra inches of desk space makes things just so much better!!!

Incredible keyboard. For a few weeks after purchase I didn't really look into its full capabilities that much, but I recently looked into the rapid trigger and adjustable actuation functions and they are so fun. Both these settings really improve action gaming as well as help optimize typing. I'm a big fan of this board, its software is incredible and the physical build itself is also outstanding, I'd recommend it to anyone who games.
