SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL 2023 Gaming Keyboard Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2023-11-19

The Apex Pro TKL 2023 improves on the previous design, offering a great level of customization thanks to the OmniPoint 2.0 magnetic switches with Hall Effect. These are pleasant to actuate and the selected keys can have two functions, depending on the selected actuation distance; each key can be selected with a different actuation distance and the Rapid Trigger brings advantages sometimes found with some gamepads. We did play Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint and noted that we could easily switch between walking and running with a single key and this feature can be used with a ton of other games as well!

Product Features, Specifications

Product Features:

 

Infinitely Customizable, Stupidly Fast

The world's fastest and most advanced keyboard performs effortlessly for all undertakings, whether you need the fastest keystrokes in gaming to destroy the competition, or deliberate presses for typing accuracy – the power is yours to wield.

 

20x Faster Actuation, 11x Faster Response Time , 2x More Durability when compared to conventional mechanical keyboards.

Omnipoint 2.0 Adjustable HyperMagnetic Switches

New OmniPoint 2.0 switches use state-of-the-art magnetic sensors for instant, zero contact keystroke activation to give you what you want — speed.

Rapid Trigger

Eradicate latency arising from the physical movement of the switch through dynamic activation and deactivation of keys based on travel distance rather than a fixed point in the key travel.

Ultimate Adjustability

Absolute precision and unmatched customization are at your fingertips with the ability to tune the registration distance of your keystrokes to the nearest 0.1 mm. Whether you prefer the feather-light touch of 0.1 mm, or a firm press at 4.0 mm, the choice is yours.

 

2-in-1 Action Keys

Program two actions to a single key, depending on how you press it. Walk forward with a light keypress, and then sprint by pressing that same key deeper. Create your own advanced combos to overtake the competition.

 

OLED Smart Display

The OLED Smart Display is an integrated command center that allows you to adjust settings, change profiles, and see updates on the fly.

Esports-Ready TKL Design

The compact tenkeyless shape saves precious desk space for big mouse-swipes, drawing you closer to victory.

SteelSeries Engine

Unlock Apex Pro TKL's unique capabilities with Engine. 2-in-1 action key binds, per-key RGB illumination, and custom actuation points are all programmable through this easy-to-use software.

Aircraft Grade Aluminum Alloy

The Series 5000 metal top plate is identical to the aluminum used in jets providing enhanced rigidity and structural stability for a lifetime of use.

 

Double Shot PBT Keycaps

Experience a giant leap in quality and durability. Our fadeproof PBT keycaps are engineered with a unique texture for enhanced keystroke feel and better typing accuracy.

 

Detachable USB Type-C Braided Cable

Durable and portable, the removable USB-C Braided Cable can withstand the wear and tear of daily life.

 

Height-Adjustable Tilt Legs

Optimally position the keyboard for comfortable play over long sessions. The adjustable tilt legs give you flexibility for three ergonomic options: flat, half, and full extension.
