SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini: A Compact yet Powerful Wireless Gaming Keyboard

The SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini is a compact and powerful wireless gaming keyboard that is designed to provide gamers with a seamless and enjoyable experience. In this review, we'll take a closer look at what makes this keyboard stand out from the crowd.

One of the first things you'll notice about the Apex Pro Mini is its sleek design. The dongle automatically detects the keyboard, and I was able to start typing right away and enjoy the default lighting state, displaying a slow right-to-left rainbow fade. Setting up the Apex Mini was breezy for the most part. A USB-C port allows for wired use with and updating firmware with an included cable, and a small keycap puller is in the box if you want to make any changes.

The keyboard's design also features a sliding switch at the rear that lets you select between 2.4GHz wireless via the included dongle or Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. The keycaps have a rough finish, preventing finger slips you get with glossy keyboards and most laptops. Weighing around 540g, it's as tiny as it looks with a 293mm width, 103mm depth, and flip-out legs underneath with two height selections for typing at elevated angles.

One thing to note is that anyone without a spare USB-C port will need to use the included cable and USB-A adapter. However, this minor inconvenience is easily outweighed by the keyboard's many benefits. The Apex Pro Mini feels sturdy and well-made, and my first impressions of it were pretty fantastic.

Overall, the SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a compact yet powerful wireless gaming keyboard. Its sleek design, easy setup process, and robust features make it an ideal option for gamers on the go.
