Summary
You can’t expect to be at the top of your typing game without an expert keyboard. SteelSeries has released a brand-new entry into its Apex Pro line via the Gen 3. Billing itself as the fastest keyboard around, SteelSeries has put a ton of work, development, and engineering into making sure that everything from the materials used to create it, the switches and keys you are typing on, and the built-in OLED screen make this one of the best keyboards on the market.
The most important upgrade SteelSeries has made to its Apex Pro Gen 3 keyboard is the update to the OmniPoint 3.0 switches. The latest iteration of these switches is even more precise than its predecessors, creating a smoother and quieter experience when typing or hitting keys while playing games. It’s not just better switches that make the Apex Pro Gen 3 keyboard better than the previous gen. There’s also its protection mode to help protect against misclicks or accidentally hitting multiple keys at once. The setting reduces the sensitivity of the keys around the one you’re pressing so that you don’t accidentally hit two keys at the same time.
Faster switches and more accurate keys aren’t all that the Gen 3 comes with. You also get the GG QuickSet programmable presets that let you switch the layout of your keyboard depending on what you’re using it for. You can customize each preset to your needs for all your favorite games, and easily swap between them on the fly. While you’re at it, you can also make use of the Rapid Tap system which uses SOCD (simultaneous opposing cardinal directions) technology to improve your strafing abilities in FPS games.

Take your gaming to the next gen
Take your gaming to the next level with the fastest, most accurate, and quietest gaming keyboard. The Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 keyboard has everything you could want, technology to give you incredibly accurate keystrokes, programmable presets, and of course, the color changing lights you can expect from a gaming accessory.
There are even more features hiding in this snazzy new keyboard such as the Rapid Trigger system. This reduces the latency from your keypresses so it no longer takes as long to fully reset the key, meaning you’re able to press the key again more quickly. This feature works in tandem with the Rapid Tap and Protection Mode features to optimize your experience. It’ll likely feel better to type with than most other keyboards thanks to the lubrication applied to each key, three layers of sound dampening to keep everything as quiet as can be, and new ways to prevent your keyboard from shaking.
