SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Wireless 2023 Ed. - World's Fastest Mechanical Gaming Keyboard / Adjustable Actuation / Esports Tenkeyless / OLED Screen / PBT Keycaps / Bluetooth 5.0 / 2.4GHz / USB-C / 64865 / 64865 + FREE DELIVERY !

The SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Wireless 2023 Edition lets you set the actuation point of every key individually, which is what SteelSeries builds its claim as the world's fastest mechanical gaming keyboard on. The tenkeyless layout drops the number pad to free desk space, an OLED screen shows system and game information, and PBT keycaps take the wear. Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz wireless and USB-C cover connection and charging.

The Apex Pro TKL Wireless is aimed at players who want speed and precise control from the same board. Because actuation is adjustable, you can set it shallow for ultra-fast keystrokes in a game and keep a deeper, more deliberate press for typing accuracy, rather than accepting one fixed switch behaviour for both.

OmniPoint 2.0 switches replace a physical contact with magnetic sensing, so a keystroke activates the instant the magnet passes the trigger point. There is no metal contact to close, which is what makes the actuation both immediate and adjustable to the depth you prefer.

2-in-1 action keys assign two separate commands to one key depending on how far you press it: walk forward on a light press and sprint on a deeper one. Actuation distance adjusts in 0.1mm steps between a 0.2mm light touch and a 3.8mm firm press, so the split point sits exactly where your finger expects it.

Measured against traditional mechanical keyboards, SteelSeries rates the Apex Pro TKL Wireless at 11X faster response, 10X faster actuation and 2X greater durability. Those three figures come from the same design decision: removing the mechanical contact in favour of magnetic sensing takes out both the delay and the wearing part.

Quantum 2.0 Dual Wireless gives the keyboard two radios: a high-speed 2.4GHz link for lag-free gaming and Bluetooth 5.0 for everything else. Switching between them means the same board can sit on a gaming PC and a laptop or tablet without being re-paired each time.

SteelSeries specifies days of uninterrupted gameplay from a charge, and the USB-C connection handles rapid charging when the battery does run down. Because the cable is only needed for power, the desk stays clear during play and the keyboard keeps working while it charges.

Dropping the number pad shortens the board and hands that width back to your mouse, which is why tenkeyless is the standard competitive layout. Low-sensitivity players who aim from the arm gain the most, since a full-size keyboard is what forces the mouse into a narrow lane.

SteelSeries Engine is where the board is configured: program the 2-in-1 actions, set per-key RGB backlighting and fine-tune actuation points from one interface. Per-key control means you can leave the movement keys shallow and set the rest deeper, rather than applying a single depth across the whole keyboard.

The top plate is Series 5000 aluminium alloy, the same high-grade metal used in aviation. It gives the Apex Pro TKL Wireless its structural rigidity, so the board does not flex under a heavy press and the switch plate keeps its alignment over years of use.

An OLED display built into the keyboard shows essential information during gameplay without pulling your attention off the monitor. It puts settings and status where you can glance at them, which is useful on a board whose actuation and profiles are configurable per key.

The keycaps are double shot PBT, a fade-resistant material that keeps its legends and its finish rather than going shiny where your fingers rest. A specialised texture on the surface improves keystroke feedback and helps typing accuracy by giving the fingertip something to register against.

The braided USB-C cable is built for durability and detaches from the keyboard with a suction fit, so it can be removed for transport or replaced on its own. A detachable cable also means the board packs down flat for a LAN without a fixed lead hanging off the back.

Height-adjustable tilt legs set the keyboard to one of three angles: flat, half or full. Being able to change the incline matters over a long session, because the wrist angle a board forces on you is what decides whether typing stays comfortable after the first hour.
