Overview

The SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL (2023) is the latest flagship tenkeyless keyboard from the Danish peripheral maker. Its headline feature is the second-generation OmniPoint 2.0 Adjustable HyperMagnetic switch, which lets you set the actuation point anywhere from 0.1mm to 4.0mm in 0.1mm increments. Combined with the new Rapid Trigger mode, the keyboard resets the input as soon as you start releasing the key — no fixed reset point — enabling lightning-fast repeated presses for strafing, tapping, and stopping in FPS games. An OLED smart display sits at the top right corner, showing Discord notifications, Spotify track info, or in-game stats from supported titles. You can also adjust actuation profiles directly on the keyboard without opening software. The chassis uses aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, and the switches are rated for 100 million keystrokes, promising years of heavy use.

Connectivity & Compatibility

The Apex Pro TKL connects via a detachable USB-C cable. It works with any device that supports USB HID — PC, Mac, PlayStation, Xbox, and even some smart TVs. The onboard 32-bit ARM processor handles all key processing locally, and the polling rate is 1000Hz. Five custom profiles can be stored in onboard memory, so your settings travel with the keyboard. The SteelSeries GG application (Windows/macOS) provides full control over per-key RGB lighting, macro assignment, and actuation tuning.

Product Info

Released in 2023, the Apex Pro TKL sits at the high end of the tenkeyless gaming keyboard market, with a street price around ¥26,000 (~$180). The package includes the keyboard, a braided USB-C cable, a keycap puller, a few extra keycaps, and a quick-start guide. Warranty is one year from the manufacturer. It is widely available through Japan and other major online retailers.

Best Use Cases

Competitive FPS players: Rapid Trigger mode is a genuine advantage in titles like Valorant, CS:GO, and Overwatch. The ability to reset inputs by merely lifting the finger — rather than returning to a fixed point — makes counter-strafing and jiggle-peeking feel snappier than any traditional mechanical switch. The 0.1mm minimum actuation also lets you shave milliseconds off your first shot. Power users who want per-key customization: You can assign different actuation points to every single key. WASD can be set to 0.2mm for instant movement response, while the spacebar stays at 1.5mm to avoid accidental presses. The 2-in-1 action key feature lets you bind two actions to one key — walk with a light press, sprint with a deep press — which is great for games with limited key binds. * Minimalist desk setups: The tenkeyless layout saves about 20cm of desk width compared to a full-size board, giving your mouse more room. The OLED display can show system stats or chat notifications, potentially reducing the need for a secondary monitor. ## Alternatives
Direct competitors include the Razer Huntsman V3 TKL (analog optical switches) and the Wooting 60HE+ (Lekker magnetic switches). Razer's optical switches are fast but offer a narrower actuation range (1.0mm–3.6mm) and lack the granular 0.1mm steps of OmniPoint 2.0. Wooting pioneered Rapid Trigger and has excellent software support, but its 60% layout omits dedicated arrow keys and the F-row, which may be a dealbreaker for some. The Apex Pro TKL strikes a better balance between compactness and functionality for most gamers.

Things to Consider

The Apex Pro TKL is available only in US ANSI layout — there is no JIS/Japanese layout option. If you rely on kana input or prefer a full-size Enter key, this keyboard will require an adjustment period. It is also wired-only; there is no Bluetooth or 2.4GHz wireless variant. For a completely cable-free desk, look elsewhere. Finally, Rapid Trigger mode is disabled by default and must be turned on via the SteelSeries GG software. To get the full benefit, plan to install the app and spend a few minutes configuring your profiles.
