Today the gaming peripheral giant, SteelSeries announced the new entries to its line of Apex gaming keyboards, the Apex Pro Mini and Apex Pro Mini Wireless. These keyboards bring players a smaller, faster, and highly adjustable new set of keyboards that pack even more of a punch at only 60% of the size of a traditional gaming keyboard.
These keyboards include brand-new OmniPoint 2.0 switches which give players 11x faster response times, 10x faster actuation, and are 2x more durable than standard mechanical switches. Improving on the foundation that its predecessor laid, the OmniPoint 2.0s operate between 0.2mm and 3.8mm which allows for faster response and actuation times, with even more adjustment capabilities than previously allowed.
SteelSeries also touts these switches as giving “the fastest keystrokes in the world” when adjusted to 0.2, with a 0.54ms response time. In addition, the OmniPoint 2.0 also offers Dual Action keypresses which makes hitting combos or pulling and tossing a grenade a seamless action.
Apex Pro Mini Wireless - $239.99
Combining OmniPoint 2.0, the world’s fastest key switches, with a new smaller 60% form factor, the Apex Pro Mini Wireless allows gamers to take a high-performance keyboard with them on the go. Quantum 2.0 Wireless ensures lag-free gaming and working while offering dual connectivity, so users can switch between 2.4Ghz Gaming Grade Wireless and Bluetooth connectivity wherever they go. Rated at 100M keystrokes, the OmniPoint 2.0 switches need the right keycaps to match, and double shot PBT keycaps are the perfect pairing, delivering unrivaled durability so they last from the first press to the last.
Apex Pro Mini - $179.99
Utilizing the new OmniPoint 2.0 switches, the Apex Pro Mini allows users to adjust between 0.2mm and 3.8mm, switching between weightless actuation and deep deliberate presses. The 60% design allows for more desk space, ensuring that big mouse swings go uninterrupted while offering better ergonomics when working and playing. Double shot PBT keycaps ensure the keycaps last as long as the switches, while side-printed key functions allow users full keyboard functionality in a small package.
Both of these keyboards are available now via the SteelSeries website. Be sure to check out our review of the Apex Pro Mini next week.
