pricey but great
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the ability to set a different actuation point is wonderful, smooth switches, not so great stabilizers, but a little bit of lube fixes that right up price is a little high but if you get it on sale its great

WORTH EVERY PENNY
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this keyboard in search for the best gaming keyboard out there, and this is no doubt the best keyboard that i have ever purchased, i guess you can say this was my "best buy''. This keyboard has adjustable actuation which allows me to change how much pressure i need to put down on the key before it registers. i 10/10 recommend, despite the price tag it is worth every penny

Do not buy if you are forgetful, you'll regret it.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Loved it at first but then I forgot to charge it. I purchased this keyboard in october and the size was perfect, it was beautiful, and I enjoyed the sound it makes when typing. Now I usually always plug it in after use but a while back I was cleaning my desk and unplugged it to clean the area, and I forgot to plug it back in. With the full size version of this keyboard there is a way to factory reset it to correct the issue. The mini keyboard does not have this function and now it won't even charge. Im outside of my exchange window so I guess this will just sit in its original box in a corner for the rest of my life.

Lots of Small Issues that Keep Building
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this keyboard about 4 months ago and for the most part loved it when I initially bought it, however, there have been small issues that just keep popping up with no way to solve them. Its made me so frustrated I'm looking to sell it and get a new keyboard. It is disappointing because I actually love the size of the keyboard and it looks and feels very well made! It is solid but still very compact and easy to lift and move if needed. The lights show up very well and I also have small hands but it's easy to type on without overly extending or tiring out my fingers. However, I just don't think these things justify the repeated issues with the keyboard. Issues I've had pop up in the four months of owning it have been: -Immediately out of the box not charging past 60% until firmware has been updated but then the keyboard won't connect to the computer to update firmware despite following the instructions. -When I was finally able to get it to update and charge to 100% it takes an extremely long time, like a half day to full day almost. I don't feel like it stays charged long enough to justify this. -At least once a week I have to completely reset my PC because the keyboard freezes and stops responding, the lights are on but no one is home. Turning it off/on doesn't help, unplugging the dongle and putting it back in, its just totally unresponsive. I just have to restart my PC and then the keyboard is back to working. -Frequent random stuck keys even though nothing is being pressed, example: I'll be in the middle of typing a sentence and the r key gets stuck and I just have repeating lines of r's until I turn the keyboard off to stop it. The keyboard becomes unresponsive but turning it off and back on does help in this situation. Its just frustrating to have it constantly happen in the middle of doing something! -If you don't want the Steelseries program running in the background constantly then you can't use the alternate color schemes for the lights. If the software isn't running, its the default rainbow. Not necessarily a negative for most people probably but I don't like having tons of software open as it can impact some of my bigger programs I need to run and part of the draw of this keyboard was the ability to mess and play with the lights. Long story short, I wouldn't buy this keyboard or recommend it to anyone, at least not for a $240 price tag. If it can be found on a really, really good sale and you are willing to take a gamble, maybe then I would but only maybe. I personally just expected less issues out of something so expensive.

Premium product for sure.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've used steelseries for a bit and this keyboard is quality. Ive been using it primarily on my PS5 so I haven't used all the functions from the app. It being smaller than most will always have it's drawbacks. It's great on space saving if you want a minimal setup. Battery last a good while before charging.

Absolutely amazing
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive had a lot of keyboards. An alienware AW768, steelseries apex pro tkl, logitech g915, and now the apex pro mini wireless. I've been searching for a keyboard with very little downsides for a long time. the apex pro tkl's scroll wheel would mess up a lot and the g915's keycaps were abs so they wear down and they fit very loosely so it would rattle all the time. With this keyboard, it's finally what I've been looking for. PBT keycaps so they don't wear down, both a fast connection for gaming and bluetooth to connect to my mac, and super smooth switches. 10/10 buy this keyboard.

Worst keyboard
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably the worst keyboard that I be ever bought, it has a lot of issues with connectivity I've used it for 4 hours and the keyboard keeps disconnecting randomly and then doesn't work again, I tried using it with Bluetooth, with cable and without it and doesn't work again, I talk to the support if I can return and they say no even this keyboard doesn't work anymore, and then I talk to the customer service of SteelSeries and they just make excuses and for not repair my keyboard, so just be aware this keyboard is not ready to be used since has a lot of issues, I've used in MacOS and windows 11. So keep in mind that and also the software to handle all the RGB is very limited.

Dongle not pairing
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Updated the firmware for both the keyboard and the dongle. After that, I unplugged everything then replugged everything back as I wanted. The keyboard could not pair to the dongle. It still worked when wired and in bluetooth mode, but I wanted to use yhe dongle. Other than that, the switches feel amazing. Had some creaking where the bluetooth/2.4 ghz button was and the RGB looked dim with the keycaps

Save your money, it's not worth it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This would be a 5 star review if SteelSeries cared enough about their customers to make decent firmware for the dongle and the keyboard. My experience with this product is 98% frustration because the keyboard will not charge and if the dongle stops working, you'll spend hours switching USB ports, restarting your PC, restarting your PC again to boot into your BIOS to see if there's anything you can change to the BIOS USB settings. If it wasn't for all that frustration, this would be a 5 star keyboard. The build quality is excellent! But for $230, it should work right out of the box with zero issues. I'll be returning this keyboard.
