SteelSeries has unveiled the newest versions of its renowned Apex Pro keyboards, all featuring the enhanced Omnipoint 3.0 switches. These switches offer 40 levels of adjustable actuation, ensuring high responsiveness and a unique Protection Mode to prevent accidental key presses. The Apex Pro Gen 3, Apex Pro TKL Gen 3, and Apex Pro TKL Wireless Gen 3 are now available—consider upgrading your setup before the holiday gaming rush.
Sharing many features across the board, these keyboards include an OLED smart display for optimal settings, customizable RGB lighting, a robust aircraft-grade aluminum top plate, and a magnetic wrist rest for extended gaming sessions. Additionally, sound-dampening foam is included in all models to enhance performance.
The most affordable option is the Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 at $220, ideal for those with limited desk space due to its keypad-less design. The Apex Pro Gen 3, with a traditional layout, is priced at $240. The top-tier Apex Pro TKL Wireless Gen 3, at $270, offers wireless connectivity via USB receiver or Bluetooth, though it is currently out of stock.
Competing in the market, Razer recently introduced the BlackWidow V4 Pro 75% Wireless. Despite its lengthy name, it boasts wireless support, an OLED display, a hot-swappable design, customizable RGB lights, a magnetic wrist rest, and the contentious Snap Tap technology for quicker keystroke registration. Priced at $300, it’s a premium choice for those seeking top-of-the-line features.
