SteelSeries is offering significant discounts on its Apex Pro gaming keyboards. The Apex Pro Mini (Gen 2) Wireless keyboard is now priced at $119.99, down from a list price of $239.99. This represents a savings of up to $120 and a discount of up to 50%. Customers can also purchase the newer Apex Pro Mini (Gen 3) Wired model for $156.74, which is a 29% reduction from its $219.99 list price, saving over $63. Additionally, the Apex Pro TKL (Gen 3) Wired keyboard is available for $199.99 after a 17% discount off its $239.99 price, offering savings of $40.

These keyboards utilize OmniPoint 3 Analog Magnetic Switches, which are Hall effect switches that allow gamers to adjust actuation distance between 0.1 and 4.0 mm with a bottom-out force of 45 grams. The Gen 3 Wired models include specific features like Protection Mode, Rapid Trigger, and Rapid Tap. Protection Mode reduces sensitivity on surrounding keys when one is pressed, while Rapid Trigger resets the key immediately upon lifting the finger to cut latency. Rapid Tap prioritizes the most recent key press between two switches for faster inputs.

All models feature an aluminum frame, per-key RGB lighting, and ergonomic legs. The TKL version includes a clickable volume roller, a multifunction media key, and a customizable OLED display. SteelSeries keyboards are controlled via the SteelSeries Engine software. The Apex Pro Mini (Gen 2) received Tom’s Hardware’s best mini gaming keyboard award, while the TKL (Gen 3) earned a four out of five score in its review. Although these are expensive items, the current discounts may make them affordable for some buyers, though the duration of these offers is unknown.
