    Super Fast Typing and Responsive for Gaming

    I've been using the SteelSeries Apex Pro 2023 TKL Wired Mechanical Keyboard for nearly a year, and it has been an exceptional addition to my gaming and typing setup. The first thing that stands out about this keyboard is the OmniPoint 2.0 adjustable actuation switches. The ability to customize the actuation point for each key is a game-changer. Whether I'm gaming and need rapid, responsive key presses, or typing and prefer a slightly longer actuation, this keyboard adapts perfectly to my needs. The keys are incredibly smooth and responsive, making both gaming and typing a pleasure. The TKL (tenkeyless) design is compact and frees up valuable desk space, which I appreciate. Despite the smaller size, the keyboard still feels sturdy and well-built. The aluminum frame adds a premium feel and ensures durability, which has held up well over the past year. The RGB backlighting is vibrant and customizable through the SteelSeries Engine software. I love being able to set different lighting profiles and effects to match my gaming setup. The software itself is user-friendly, making it easy to adjust settings and create macros. One of the standout features is the OLED Smart Display. It's a unique addition that allows me to see useful information like in-game stats, Discord messages, or even system information directly on the keyboard. It adds a layer of convenience and enhances the overall user experience. The detachable magnetic wrist rest is another highlight. It's comfortable and provides excellent support during long gaming or typing sessions. The magnetic attachment is strong and ensures the wrist rest stays in place without being cumbersome. In terms of connectivity, the wired connection is reliable, ensuring there are no input lag issues during intense gaming sessions. The cable is braided and durable, showing no signs of wear after a year of use. Overall, the SteelSeries Apex Pro 2023 TKL has been a fantastic investment. Its customizable actuation, compact design, vibrant RGB, and additional features like the OLED display and wrist rest make it stand out from other mechanical keyboards. If you're looking for a high-performance keyboard that adapts to your needs and provides a premium experience, this model is definitely worth considering.

    Relief for disabled gaming

    As someone with nerve damage, this keyboard is an absolute dream to use. The ability to adjust the actuation for each key to fit the needs I have for different genres of gaming or just general typing has brought huge relief to my hands and a greater ability to type for longer periods of time. It's also light and portable and fits in my laptop bag no problem. The removable cable/mouse pad (which is extremely soft and easy to clean), 3 position height adjustment and built in key remover on the backside are excellent quality of life additions.

    Apex pro tkl review

    The Apex Pro TKL is a high-performance mechanical keyboard from EVGA, a well-known brand in the PC gaming hardware market. This tenkeyless (TKL) model removes the numpad to provide a more compact footprint, making it well-suited for gaming setups with limited desk space. One of the standout features of the Apex Pro TKL is its use of EVGA's proprietary adjustable actuation switches. These switches allow you to customize the actuation point from 1.5mm to 3.6mm, giving you more control over the keyboard's responsiveness. This is particularly useful for gamers who want a lighter, faster actuation for certain games, while maintaining a more tactile feel for typing. The build quality of the Apex Pro TKL is excellent, with a sturdy aluminum top plate and a sleek, minimalist design. The keycaps have a nice textured surface and the keyboard features per-key RGB backlighting with a variety of customization options through the accompanying software. In terms of performance, the Apex Pro TKL delivers. The adjustable actuation switches provide a responsive and satisfying typing and gaming experience. The keyboard also includes dedicated media controls, a volume roller, and a USB passthrough, adding to its functionality. One potential downside is the relatively high price point compared to some other mechanical keyboards on the market. However, the customizable switches, premium build quality, and overall performance make the Apex Pro TKL a compelling option for discerning gamers and enthusiasts who are willing to invest in a high-end keyboard. Overall, the EVGA Apex Pro TKL is an excellent mechanical keyboard that offers a unique and highly customizable typing and gaming experience. Its combination of features, build quality, and performance make it a strong contender in the crowded mechanical keyboard market.

    One of the Best Gaming Keyboards

    The keyboard is amazing. Great sound, great build, wonderful customization, and some of the best performance from a keyboard I’ve seen. Being able to change the actuation on the fly, w/out needing to download possible bloatware is a plus as well. All in all, 9/10 keyboard, the price is the only thing holding it back.

    USB-C and Best! Keyboard Software out there

    My buddy had the first version of this keyboard and got me interested. One of the key features of this 2023 edition was the USB-C port. Makes it so much easier to unplug and travel with a different cable as to not mess up my desks cable management. Seems like a small detail but fixed cables have haunted me for years. I also really like the soft linear switches and the degree of control over actuation. The Steel Series software is also top notch. Gives me granular control over macros and allows for highly customisable meta macros. Definitely expensive but in my opinion, a fantastic keyboard software passage.

    This keyboard helped me get better in all fps games as it helped me switch weapons and do things very quickly (0.1mm actuation) and also helped me to move exactly where i wanted to move in games (to get a pixel perk and stuff like that) with rapid trigger. Rapid trigger, 0.1mm actuation and the oled screen easily makes this THE best keyboard and worth the price.

    SteelSeries software actually works very well with this keyboard. The OLED panel is super fun to mess around with and has various game/software support. I currently have it setup to show my hardware temps in a loop and display whichever user is talking in the Discord channel I'm in. The keys are linear and just how I need them to be. The actuation is adjusted for the keys 'A' and 'D' to feel a little more resistant when strafing or steering. I wish there was a wireless version of this keyboard because we don't have enough wireless options for TKL keyboards sold through Best Buy.

    Excellent keyboard, it has the fastest actuation of any keyboard I’ve ever used. Build quality is solid, it’s pretty heavy with some metal under the caps.

    The rapid trigger function with the adjustable actuation points sets this keyboard above others, solely based off features/utility alone; Along with a recent firmware update, adding features introduced with Razer's Huntsman V3 series that further elevate your competitive experience.

    Apex Pro, huh? It's quite something! It's known for its adjustable mechanical switches, allowing you to set the actuation point to suit your style. The RGB lighting is also a standout feature, making it look super cool. Its aircraft-grade aluminum frame gives it a sturdy feel. However, it's a bit on the pricey side. But if you're a serious gamer or typist, it might just be worth it. Amazing keyboard recomend it

    it's a great keyboard. I love it. 0.1 ms actuation and insane response time to my games. great for gaming. but, the blue LED on 2 of my keys has gone out and I've only had my keyboard for a few months. it kind of makes me mad seeing different colors on my keyboard. I've tried restarting the keyboard, even factory resetting it. nothing has worked. the light is totally out.
