STEELSERIES APEX PRO

When it comes to PC gaming, you can’t beat the tactile clacking of a mechanical keyboard.

And if you’re about to make the switch, then you might as well go all-in. The SteelSeries Apex Pro may be a pricey proposition but it’s a solid investment that’s guaranteed to last you beyond a mind-boggling 100 million keypresses.

The secret sauce is that each of its magnetic key switches can be adjusted. So whether you’re typing or gaming, and whether that’s a fast-paced shooter or a more thoughtful strategy game, you can customise the actuation of every key so that it feels exactly how you want it to be for any situation. Compared to standard mechanical keyboards, these switches also boast faster response and actuation right out of the gate.

Further customisation is offered by a mini OLED display just above the number pad, alongside a volume wheel and media key. This allows you to set a custom image, or even a GIF, to make this Apex Pro truly your own. Oh, and let’s not forget the RGB backlighting, which you can tailor to your preferences with per-key illumination.

The sturdy frame, made from aircraft-grade aluminium alloy, has a lean design with virtually no space beyond where the keys are, so it won’t fill your desk like other keyboards – although you will want to keep the wrist rest magnetically attached at the bottom, since it’s going to provide vital comfort for any extended sessions.

Granted, there are cheaper mechanical alternatives on the market, but the Apex Pro lives up to its name by dominating other high-end keyboards in its price range. So if you’re prepared to splash the cash, you may just come out on top.
