I noticed a considerable change in responsiveness while playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I have a bad habit of resting my fingers on the keys after reaching the end of a sentence, which led to a couple of instances of double-typing when I set the actuation point too low. At the lowest setting of 0.2mm, even grazing the keys was enough to set them off. Personally, I like feeling resistance when I type, so I had my level set to the max of 3.8mm while working. “I” will increase the actuation point and “O” will decrease it, and the keycaps have arrows indicating that. The keyboard’s OmniPoint adjustable switches can be changed by holding down the function key (the keycap has a neat little SteelSeries logo on it) and hitting one of two keys. You buy a 60 percent model because this what you know you want, of course: fewer keys, more free desk space. I do miss the 10-key number pad at times, but I adjusted as needed. Arrow keys, media controls, and even the intensity of the RGB lighting are still accessible. The missing keys are instead accessed via the function key. It was almost like my brain adapted to the change a few minutes into typing. I thought I’d miss the breadth of a full-size keyboard, but those thoughts quickly subsided once I put my hands on the board. I have a confession: This review is actually my first time using a keyboard that’s missing so many keys. So the Apex Pro Mini is on the higher end of 60 percent keyboards but does little to warrant the high price. While the tech is definitely impressive, the Apex line of keyboards have been using these switches since they were introduced in 2019, and a number of other keyboards, including the Huntsman Mini Analog, have competing gimmicks, such as optical analog switches. The appeal of having different key-switch response times is what separates the Apex Pro Mini Wireless from its competitors (like the Razer Huntsman Mini Analog). The switches use magnetic sensors to let owners adjust the exact distance at which a key registers for faster response times, increased accuracy, and extra durability. The SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Wireless is a "60 percent"-style keyboard that features SteelSeries’ proprietary OmniPoint adjustable switches.
