SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini - HyperMagnetic Gaming Keyboard - World’s Fastest Keyboard - Adjustable Actuation - Compact 60% Form Factor - RGB – PBT Keycaps - USB-C​ - American QWERTY Layout - 60%

Great keyboard for competitive games, good rapid trigger implementation and very responsive overall. The stock keycaps are a lot nicer than those that come on some other keyboards like my old razer huntsman. The software is big and bloated like most large gaming companies but nowhere near as bad as Razer or asus so not the worst. The keyboard does sound terrible stock, but no keyboard sounds amazing until it’s modded really. It’s cheaper and easier to get a hold of than the wooting so I’d recommend as a rapid trigger alternative.

The 0.2mm actuation did not work even though I set it to 0.2mm. I had to re install the software several times to be able to have the option to update the firmware. Then the Q key sometimes doesn’t register or is really delayed. Terrible keyboard, if you have the original apex pro tkl stick with it!

Overall really good fast keyboard only issue i face is when i changed my colours of the keyboard in the software on a pc and when i connect it to my console it didn't change and stayed to its original colours however overall really good keyboard i still use

Good: Having the ability to customize the actuation (whole point of the keyboard other than its size) is nice. Key feel is nice, sound isn't too bad by default. Bad: Software is a bit of a let down - say you want much lower actuation when playing a game than for regular computer usage (a common occurance I would bet) - well, you wouldn't know what profile you've switched to by using the hotkey as there is no indication. The lighting stays exactly the same, and you can't assign different lighting schemes to the different "engine" configs (where you assign layout, actuation). Literally have to load up the software each time to check the profile. You need the software running in order for it to recognise any changes you've made - it doesn't save it to the device. And you cannot export your settings for backup. You have to have a minimum of 5 profiles. You can't cycle between just 2... you have to cycle between 5 while also not having any indication whatsoever of what profile you've switched to. The profile feature seems to not be well thought out at all despite them being default buttons, printed on the keyboard. Dual actuation is rather useless. It doesn't allow you to have two independent functions on a single key, the smaller actuation will always trigger. The lighter one first, followed by the key assigned to the heavier press, even if you set the lighter one to trigger when the key is released instead of pressed. Just dissappointing software in general and you'd expect much better thought out features and implementation for the price of the keyboard. Again, the hardware seems decent enough itself, but it is let down by the software. I will update this review if things change. One thing I am concerned about hardware wise is that I'm reading posts of phantom key presses, though I have not yet experienced them after ownership of about a week. One solution was to switch it to a different USB port, may be helpful to know for someone.

When I received it the packaging was damaged,I opened it up and it looked the the box was old as it had a big sticker on it,plugged it in and over 30 different pages automatically opened so I'm certain it had been used before

If you're thinking of buying the steelseries apex mini for gaming don't hesitate. It's not expensive when you consider how high quality every aspect of it is. I loved my last keyboard. It didn't break in 3 years and I had no problems with it and this is still a purchase I'm happy with. Whatever game you play will instantly be better. I haven't even tried the fastest actuation and it's still a lot faster than my last keyboard. It's so comfortable too, the keys feel amazing and they don't sound loud or annoying. They are surprisingly quiet but springy. Definitely buy this, there isnt a better keyboard or one you'd be more happy with.

Hochwertige Tastatur die überzeugt. Jede Taste einzeln einstellbar,Druckpunkt und Farbe. Leise auch wenn es mal Hecktisch beim Arbeiten/Zocken wird. Ich als Gamer bin mehr wie überzeugt! Klare Kaufempfehlung zum fairen Preis.

My son loves this keyboard.

Güzel

Been using this for a year or 2 now. It has withstood moving. Very high quality, i can change the actuation, rapid trigger and everything. It's not too heavy so i can travel with it. Considering how long it has lasted the value is very much there, especially considering you can put new keycaps and everything on. The lighting is amazing too, you can configure it so many ways and it doesn't interfere with anything!
