BTW only the main keys are omni point, not the FN row, arrows, or shortcuts.

I have been in love with this keyboard since day one. Happy to see a revised version. Thank you for covering it so fast! Wouldn't of known about it so soon if it wasn't for your video being reccomended.

I wish if they make a WHITE APEX PRO WIRELESS 🤩🤩🤩

I was just thinking of getting an Apex Pro tkl for Christmas and boom an updated version comes out.

A 75% keyboard from these big name brands would be a game changer. All the functionality of the TKL but with the horizontal space taken up by a 65%, which is only one more column of keys than the 60%. Whoever gets that first to market would probably make big bucks.

Hey man. I like your videos a lot. I was recently in the market for a new keyboard and have been watching lots of different videos. I am enjoying yours the most. I am typing this right now on my brand new SS Apex pro TKL wireless and it's a dream! I love everything about it, the omnipoint 2.0 switches are a game changer , being able to make custom profiles all with different actuations for doing different tasks. It's amazing, thank you for helping me make my decision.

The keyboard I been waiting for finally!

Thanks a lot for the in-depth review and for comparing it with the previous Apex Pro and the Razer Deathstalker! How do the battery life and typing experience feel with compare to the Deathstalker? I'm debating between the two and am on the fence over which one to go with

I’ve been waiting for this for sooo long

Thank you one more time to be the very first to review the fresh new tech. There’s some misunderstanding about the switches among other reviewers, so is really the omnipoint Hall effect switches but 2.0 is that right? Cause I already saw a reviewer that call them optical switches! 🤨

I currently have a customized GMMK Pro, but I just ordered the wireless Apex Pro. Without hesitation. I’ve been waiting for this one! The pro was my favorite, but hated the cable. I need something for my Mac and typing/writing and gaming. The Omni point switches make that possible with just a few clicks. Super hyped for this one!

Great video! Do you think you'll mod this like you did your previous one? If so, I'd love to see a video of that!

Appreciate your hard work brotha!

This is exactly what I've been waiting for 🔥🔥

hey techne you got any mousepad recommendations? I’m getting my apex pro tkl soon and I haven’t thought about a mouse pad until now.

You have a hallow/greater impact refection key press sound on the wired. With the Wireless you have a dampened/greater impact absorption key press sound. Due to the board density as a result of the additional batter cells.

It would be awesome to get your take on the TKL w/ Rapid Trigger update.

I like the "Floating key caps" design, but I can't find a lot of keyboards that has it. Any recommendations (TKL to 65%)? If there's hot swappable that would be cool too.

Hey I just got this board after watching your review. I can't seem to figure out the onboard profile stuff, do you know if you're able to save custom RGB profiles to the board and have them recallable without the software?

im going to buy my first wireless, which one do you think is better for competitive gaming, the apex pro or the deathstalker v2

Also been away a while, moving into uni and stuff, love the goatee!

Very awesome I am totally gonna get this to replace/upgrade my old razer keyboard. :)

I've never really got into gaming with mouse and key until recently. From the research I've done I've been pretty drawn to SteelSeries. I'm thinking about going all in and getting the Arctis Nova 3 headset, the Prime mouse, and the Apex 9 TKL. As cool as the Apex Pro is I don't think I need the display or the extra actuation speed. I'm looking for high quality stuff that isn't the most expensive.

Good to see them going wireless or at least being able to swap cables. No one wants to dig behind a computer if you have to use a laptop real quick. Tough call with the Deathstalker, so easy to grab that and go. This against the huntsman v2 might be an easier fight to win but because of the wireless option. 60’s are too small but could be like having a controller or something you use only for gaming. Maybe they could do one of those one handed deals for gaming. Would love to see a low pro as well.

I remember hating this ducky keyboard with the speed silver switches because of accidental key presses. If you set it on the lowest actuation, is there a lot of that going on?

WHAT?! I had the Apex Pro and returned it for the Apex Pro mini wireless. I was wishing for a wireless version the other day then I see this video pop up on my feed. I don’t know what kind of magic you cast since you post videos on products that are so close to my interest and so soon

What should I get or do you recommend apex pro tkl 2022 or apex pro 2023

So you upgraded the last one can you upgrade this one?

Will you be making a modding video for these new keebs?

How is the typing experience compared to Varmilo keyboards? And since you mentioned the Deathstalker in the video, how does that keyboard compare to the Apex Pro TKL and Varmilo keyboards in terms of typing feel (stabilizers, rattle, smoothness etc)?

Thanks for this. Been waiting on this board and was getting impatient. Like you, I’m a TKL guy and have the newer Pro Mini. I just can’t get used to it (but I still love it!). As soon as your video when live, I literally squealed, lol. I immediately went to the website, seen they were up for order and snagged the Wireless one. Lol. I think you’re the first person on KZfaq with a review up on this. You’re awesome. Keep it up! *Edit - Wanted to ask two questions. 1) Does the Escape key continue blinking green once it’s fully charged or if you just wanna use it in Wired mode? 2) Have you had any issues with Lethal Cables while using the Wireless dongle, instead of the included cable SteelSeries gives ya?

hey techne, i was just wondering which keyboard you would prefer between the new apex pro tkl in this video or the apex 9 tkl in terms of typing, gaming and overall experience. kind of stuck between which one to choose for my next board

Thank you for the review, just ordered mine it was a £170 from £230, thanks to the amazon prime day deals, gonna try to sell my current keyboard (razer huntsman te tkl)

I'm looking to see what switching devices using Bluetooth is like? I use my keycrhon k6 to jump between home PC and work laptop very often, I'd love to see how easy it is to go between paired devices with this

I’ve been waiting for this refresh. Gonna spring for the wireless version because I hate money!!!

Detachable cable is huge. Might actually buy one now!

I wonder what is the actual battery life of this with the RGB always on (with profiles) but is maybe set to the 10% or 20% brightness and the OLED also.

The magnetic wrist rest will always be my favorite part of buying a steelseries keyboard 😇

Does the 2023 apex pro wired version have the same mushy feeling the older apex pro had

So unless I missed it in the vid, how do you go in and adjust the actuation on this keyboard? Is it handled within the software somehow or do you have to pop every key off and adjust them with something it comes with? Sorry pretty new to the keyboard space, looking to upgrade my old Razer BlackWidow TE v2 TKL. Been having trouble finding a TKL option I like

I just picked up this keyboard yesterday. I love it so far but for some reason it seems my LED screen is not working. when I hold down the button down it does absolutely nothing. do you know how to fix it?

What keyboards would people recommend. I am looking for a gaming keyboard that is 65% (maybe tkl) that is quiet enough to be used around others. I live in a dorm room so don’t want to piss my roommates off too much. I have been looking mainly at the fnatic streak 65lp, blackwidow v3 mini and glorious gmmk. Any thoughts?

Is this apex pro tkl a good upgrade for the apex 5 ?

Can anyone please explain how to configure the 2-in-1 action key feature? Specifically, how do you make the GG Engine software recognize both actuations as separate functions in a game? I can set dual actuations for the W key. But how do I get them to register as walk and run in a game (e.g., Destiny 2)?

What would be the purpose of moving the wrist rest off to one side of the keyboard?

Is the battery rechargable? or is with separete batteries?

i would still go for the old steelseries its just that the omni point is out of date they should just use the app to customize that instead of creating a new switches... i also love the keyboard that has extra usb slot for mouse usb or anything... but i dont know as well if theres gonna be an actual difference between the old one and the new one with just .2mm difference.

Is the new one better or the older one?

Apex pro tkl old version or new one, which should i buy ?

Does this have the rapid trigger function of the Wooting board?

Just finished buying the new wireless version, had the original and I'm glad I wont really have to be dealing with the annoying cable as often in the new one🙂

***Read this before buying this keyboard!*** I've had this keyboard for 1 day, and I'm already experiencing several problems: the keyboard double clicks quite often. The keyboard does not wake up as it should when coming out of sleep. The RGB bug is due to the software & certainly the keyboard as well. If you want to charge your keyboard and put it off, the keyboard stays on LOL. It's great when you want to go to sleep. Ah yes if you load your keyboard, the 'ESC' key remains green. The different color modes do not work on the steelseries apex pro tkl wireless through the keyboard. The different bug modes also on the steelseries software which is not normal. The F key row will flash white each time the keyboard aperates via the 2.4ghz dongel. So, every time you restart or turn on the pc it does it. The keyboard does not wake up on its own, you have to click on a key otherwise it does not wake up on its own. See an iceberg, it's only a simple taste of what you will have as problems. I hate these subjective presentations. Your tests are ridiculous. Warn people about the different issues with each item you test instead of overplaying something about a brand that shouldn't be. This keyboard is good for playing, but there are so many side issues that in the end it really sucks.

Wooting used to have a TKL. The stupidest decision they made was discontinuing that model, the Wooting One. I also don't like 60% boards. Lowest I'd like to go is 65% because they still have arrow keys. I need my arrows.

When will they release the full keyboard version though...

very expensive BUT it's a great board. contactless, wireless, good keycaps, detachable cable. they pretty much fixed every complain I had about the old one. I wish you could indeed control the lighting (and macro) without the software, like the old one. oh, also the macro support on the old one is GREAT I use that every day:)

So I bought the wired (don't want wireless), switches are a bit loud for me but everything else seems great. If talking strictly wired versions, would you recommend this or the Huntsman v2 TKL? Huntsman v2 seems super quiet and smooth, cheaper than this, but do you think this has better features and better switches?

How many dongles is needed to have a keyboard/mouse/headset combo working?

do you think the deathstalket v2 pro is better option than the new apex pro tkl? Do you expenienced any delay on the deathstalker v2?

So do you keep it on your desk? or the deathstalker

On my old apex pro tkl there is a green line in the middle even if the rgb if of or on and I don't know how to fix it. It's almost like the flashing green line on the wireless apex pro tkl

Would it be worth it to get the mini over the tkl to save some space or are the features on the tkl too good to pass up

Dies this new version also exist with a number pad? U like those new keys but might miss the number pad for home office

How is this keyboard compared to something like a keychron series board

are you going to show bluetooth pair and switching between computers?

Still hesitating between this new Apex vs Deathstalker v2 pro… which on e should I pick ? 🤯

What do you advise me to buy confused between two things -Steelseries Apex Pro Mini - Apex Pro TKL wireless keyboard.2023

Love the video as usual, but in a unrelated note that goatee needs some love techne

I got a 6gv2 and a 7g as well.. I need to resolder the m key on the 7 though.. and I don't have the wrist rest.. was a thrift store pick up.

Is it me or have they removed the feature of letting you customise the oled screen on these new versions?

No input lag? Wireless worries me. Is there a way to prove there’s no added delay to input

Bro I completely agree with you, I can’t do 60%. I gotta have my arrow keys and del key

Hey Techne! Have you noticed the RGB backlighting acting funny? I just picked up the Apex Pro Wired 2023 and the backlight animation constantly freezes for a moment or two and then will suddenly switch to a different lighting position in the sequence with mine. Updated everything i could think of (drivers, firmware, etc), reinstalled their engine software, checked other apps to make sure they weren't trying to control the keyboard... nadda. Just curious if youve noticed this as well? I contacted Steelseries support, waiting for a reply. Thanks for your vids, been enjoying your reviews and mod videos!

techne i have a apex pro tkl wireless but does it respond faster wireless or connected?

would have loved to see the software in action and also are all the keys using the new switches?

Imagine if the Shurikey Hanzo had reprogrammable keys AND media keys/roller... it'd best many dedicated gaming keyboards

Hello , when does the wireless one release ? I can’t find it on the steel series website

Today I found one of these at goodwill for $3.99. I was in need of a new keyboard and remembered the keychron K6 that I found there last year which my wife claimed as hers. Im not really into keyboards so I didn't know what I was looking at. So far I am was really happy with it. It does not have the wrist rest though.

Techne what keyboard are you using these days?

does omnipoint switches causes double click issue ?

I have apex pro and pretty happy about them!! Good to see wireless tkl depending on the price I might grab it 😂

Is this what early feels like?

is this compatible with steel series prism keycaps?

guys i just bought this new keyboard, but wired. I just wanted to know something about the illumination. Since you can’t change color from the keyboard and you have to use the steelseries software, once you created some configurations of illumination, how do you switch them from the keyboard? Because switching configuration from the keyboard doesn’t change color configuration, it’s always the same color…

Does the keyboard always charge when you plug in the cable or you can chose between wired mode and charging mode?

Hi techne! Should i w8 for this or get Huntsman v2 tkl? Huntsman in my country 150€. Apex 200€++++. Keep the good work!

Can you change the volume on the lcd screen?

i see in rtings the total travel was increase does it bother you to have to bottom out deep in this switches?

I'm not exactly sure why you say sound tests within keyboards are boring, it's the only reason I watch these kinds of videos before I buy a keyboard. Don't care about the build, the caps or the type of switches - just the sound :P

Can we change effects and colour in the software

i just bought a apex pro tkl 1.0 for 144 tbh worth it for 144 :) good review btw :)

Is this keyboard faster than the mini

7:52 i can't understand why this keyboard not have analog. why i have to use dual actuation for walk/run?

I am curious as to if the Keychron Q2 would be a good option for gaming.

which one is better this or hunstman v2

How did you get snek mine Doesn’t come with

Anyone have freezing lights bugs on the apex pro 2023 wired? Heard that all the wired units are having this problem atm, can anyone confirm? Seen a few videos on youtube of the issue.

do you can buy it now or can u buy it just in 2023

Excited to see how this affects the price of the old one on amazon ...

A pro wireless keyboard is honestly so rare and unheard of, super hard to find a good one nowadays

Will the release this new Apex Pro with a numpad?
