The build quality on the keyboard is very good – the keys were responsive and not too “clicky”, and I found they had just the right level of spring too. It is in that spirit that the keyboard has been compressed (60% of the size of a regular keyboard) and does a very good job of keeping most of the full-size features, generally by giving keys and alternate function that can be activated with a double-tap (for example, the number keys at the top will perform as the F1-F10 keys when double-tapped).įor general use it did take a bit of getting used to, but didn’t impact the gaming experience when I was testing it with titles including God of War and Doom Eternal – the WASD keys etc were accessible and despite my large hands, I could use them without issues.

They’re one of those things you either love or have no use for I’m very much in the former category since I do a lot of Business Stuff™, but outside of a few complex simulation games like Microsoft Flight Simulator, I can’t think of the last time I actually used them for anything gaming related. The SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Wireless keyboard is a *lot* smaller than a traditional gaming keyboard.īesides the smaller size, it’s also missing the ten-keys. Measuring 293mm wide by 103mm deep and 40mm high, it is, as you can imagine, a lot smaller than the keyboards I usually use.

My first thought on seeing the Apex Pro Mini Wireless Keyboard was “What is this, a keyboard for ants?”
