We can see the technology becoming a mainstay in high-end keyboards - with SteelSeries leading the charge. WASD controls in a first-person shooter are a great example, and you can set the actuation point to be lower and faster for smooth movement while adjusting nearby keys that might be used to pick up items or throw grenades to require more travel and force. The OmniPoint Adjustable Mechanical switches go a long way to cementing the Apex Pro TKL Wireless as a keyboard for gaming enthusiasts. This means you can set up a profile for a specific game and one for basic productivity tasks - and seamlessly swap between the two.
The actuation point can be fine-tuned for all keys, which is pretty amazing to witness in real time, as it can drastically change the feel without swapping out switches.
By default, the actuation point is set to 1.8mm for all keys, so right out of the box, you've got fast and smooth linear-style performance. The impressive OmniPoint Adjustable Mechanical switches deployed are the real star. It can be paired with consoles and works (albeit in a limited capacity) with Mac systems. Battery life sits at around 37 hours with RGB lighting, slightly higher than expected for a wireless TKL offering.Įven though the focus is on PC use, especially regarding software support and customization, the Apex Pro TKL Wireless is versatile. The Apex Pro TKL Wireless can double as a wired keyboard, and SteelSeries has included a nice braided detachable USB-C to USB-A cable so you can play and charge. This means you can set individual keys or the entire keyboard to be a 0.2mm actuation point lightning-fast keyboard for competitive games or go the opposite route with 3.8mm actuation for deeper and more tactile keystrokes.Īs for the keycaps themselves, they're double-shot PBT with an anti-fade design and feature an excellent textured feel that's great to the touch. With its USD 289.99 price point (it can be picked up for cheaper than this), you might wonder what the "most advanced keyboard" from SteelSeries brings.Īnd well, for the most part, it's all about the new OmniPoint 2.0 adjustable switches, which are custom mechanical switches developed by SteelSeries that are like the name suggests - fully adjustable on a per-key basis.
