SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Wireless looks better with Prismcaps (Unboxing and review)
0This is an unboxing and review of the SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini wireless, with the addition of some SteelSeries PRISMCAPS and an artisan keycap. This is a great looking keyboard with some interesting features that include adjustable actuation, dual actuation options, per key RGB and, of course, 60% form factor.
The Apex Pro Mini's switches now operate between 0.2mm and 3.8mm with 37 individual levels of actuation on a per-key basis. With the actuation set to just 0.2mm actuation, SteelSeries claims a 0.54 ms response time for the fastest keystrokes in the world.
Along with adjustable actuation, the Apex Pro Mini keyboards also offer dual-action capabilities. So you can program two different keyboard actions to the same key! This includes macros, so you can really customise it. The number of keys that can have this action is limited but it's still pretty awesome.
Features of the SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini wireless include:
World's fastest OmniPoint 2.0 adjustable switches with 11x quicker response and 10x swifter actuation
Customize the sensitivity of every key from a speedy 0.2mm to a deliberate 3.8mm
Program two different actions to the same key for powerful gaming shortcuts
Compact 60% form factor with side-printed functions for full-size keyboard functionality
Lag-free Quantum 2.0 Wireless with a 2.4GHz connection and Bluetooth 5.0
Highlights for me:
Easy connectivity and interesting customisation
Nice looking design, especially with the upgrade
Lowlights:
Feels like Cherry MX switches
Standard keycaps don't let through enough light
Bit noisy
