SteelSeries Apex 9 TKL Gaming Keyboard Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2022-11-20

Before trying the keyboard out, we have started typing some articles and we were quite happy with the optical switches’ response, while keeping noise at a minimum; due to the very fast response time you may need an adjustment time though. The matte keycaps do offer a nice grippy feel while the customizable kickstands do increase the comfort level. When switching to gaming, after some rounds in Shatterline, Warhammer Vermintide 2 but also when playing Dying Light 2, the 1mm actuation response is instant and does really help especially when things get complicated with a lot of enemies are there to get you.
