Review: SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Gen 3
Briefly

The SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Gen 3 aims to be a leading compact gaming keyboard but falls short due to several drawbacks. Despite its appealing compact layout and the innovative OmniPoint 3.0 switches, the keyboard is priced at $220 which raises expectations. Users reported a disappointing typing experience and issues with software along with a limited wired connection. While the 60% design offers portability and desk space savings, it struggles to compete with higher-performing keyboards in the premium segment, making it a less attractive choice for gamers.
The SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Gen 3 excels with its compact layout and responsive switches, but a high price and mediocre typing experience hold it back.
Unlike its competitors, the Apex Pro Mini ensures accessibility with a true 60% layout, providing a unique tactile experience but lacking compared to other premium keyboards.
The OmniPoint 3.0 switch, though innovative with its dual-rail design, does not overcome the overall mediocre typing experience of the Apex Pro Mini.
At $220, while the Apex Pro Mini offers programmability and a clean design, its plastic case and wired connection detract from its otherwise appealing features.
