The SteelSeries Apex Pro is available right now, from both the official SteelSeries store and third-party retailers such as Amazon. There is also now a SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL (2023), a smaller tenkeyless version of this keyboard if you fancy taking up less space on your desk. Those looking for a comfortable, robust and customisable keyboard of the highest calibre needn’t look much further than this. While it’s expensive, the Apex Pro more than justifies its asking price with a range of impressive features and build quality that sits among the higher echelon of devices I’ve reviewed in recent years. But the SteelSeries Apex Pro is £50 cheaper than the latter, with an RRP of £199.99.

While this new gaming keyboard innovation is certainly impressive, it’s not quite as fleshed out as the likes of the Wooting One or Razer Huntsman V2 Analog, which can bind multiple inputs to a single key at different actuation points. For example, you could set the WASD keys to be super sensitive so they trigger from the slightest of presses, while you could configure the ‘G’ key to require a deeper press to avoid accidental grenade tosses. While this won’t alter the feel of the keyboard, it will allow you to customise the sensitivity of each key. The SteelSeries Apex Pro is a premium gaming keyboard with a rare talent: customisable actuation points for every key.
