SteelSeries New Apex 9 TKL – HotSwap Optical Mini Keyboard – TKL Esports Design – Optical Switches – RGB Customization – Aluminum Alloy Frame – Double Shot PBT Keycaps

This keyboard has everything you want for gaming. Only 0.7ms input lag on rtings which is really good. The new optical switches are really consistent and I love how I can switch the actuation point depending on if I'm gaming or typing. The choice between 3 levels of elevation is also nice. For gaming, this is one of the best keyboards you can possibly get. I'm a high-mmr CSGO player and I can tell you this delivers. Your counter-strafing and ability to stop on a dime is amazing. This keyboard can take as many inputs at once as you can press and doesn't have cord splitting or other artifacts. It's true 1000hz polling too. You also have a good USB-C cord that's braided and detachable. You can also keep the tool under the keyboard if you travel to LANs or in general. It's perfect. You also have onboard memory and it's very easy to use the SteelSeries software to configure. It's easy to update firmware as well. The build quality is very good too. They used aluminum in the body and the higher quality PBT keycaps. Also, if anything breaks, you can easily replace the keycaps OR the switches themselves and SteelSeries actively sells replacement parts unlike Logitech for example who only sells switches and not keycaps. There's really nothing I can complain about. The only thing maybe is that some keyboards like the wooting have release triggered as soon as your key starts going back up. However the wooting has slightly more input lag on direct press and CSGO, Valorant, and most games honestly favor new inputs over releasing inputs anyway. Also some keyboards like the Corsair K65 have 8000hz polling rate which is insane. However with that being said, the 8000hz polling and early release triggering from those competitors really aren't a big deal and have their own downsides - especially the 8000hz polling because it can actually take up some more cpu usage so I don't think it's necessarily efficient at the sub 1ms level. Overall, I looked at all of the popular keyboards for gaming in this price range and this one was the best for the price for my setup. I didn't talk much about typing btw but I am a megaracer on typeracer.com and it feels very good to type on in the 1.5mm mode + 7deg incline. If you're looking for a gaming keyboard, look no further, this has literally everything with no downsides.

this keyboard may be a bit expensive but, it’s worth it the editable actuation point is very nice, if you want to just type or make an essay there’s a typing mode on it. Where if you want to game with it there’s a gaming mode where your actuation is put down, in my opinion this is the best keyboard in the market besides the apex mini pro which is more expensive but obviously better.

One of the best keyboard I've bought, high quality and verry clean. A little overpriced, but I like the brand.

Good keyboard , feels really smooth , I’m happy with it

Works with PS5 my son loves it. Might want to order extra keys because they can easily break.

The Apex 9 TKL is seriously fast, almost too fast at times. The optical switches are super responsive, so your key presses register almost instantly. It’s great for quick reactions in gaming, but sometimes it’s a bit too sensitive. You might find yourself accidentally pressing keys you didn’t mean to hit, which can throw you off doing certain stuff. It’s awesome for shooters and games where speed matters, but doing daily stuff may not be the best for this keyboard personally I'm using it right now to type this and as it is fast and everything you also make a lot of typos. This is still a very good choice if you are into competitive gaming or gaming in general.

This keyboard is one of the best mechanical keyboards I have ever owned, and I have owned quite a few. The keys are tactile, sound nice, and are high quality. I can easily use with this with my Mac and PC. It's easy to change the colors and features with the steelseries software for the keyboard. I use this every day and the only thing I regret is not getting the one with the 10 keys on the right side since I also use this keyboard for work in addition to gaming. If you dont need it for work and dont really care about the 10 keys, this is the best keyboard you can get at this price point.

great keyboard light feeling keys and its looks cool. it does make sound when typing. it is somewhat quite. it is small. I do not like the steel series software so i do not use it. i really like how fast and light this keyboard is. it is made of almost all plastic. been using this board for over 3 months.

There is nothing to dislike about this item

Me gustó mucho la iluminación y el diseño compacto. Funciona perfecto en mi PS5 Slim y llegó en excelente estado. Muy buena calidad por el precio, lo recomiendo.

Great product at an awesome price!!! It costs more than $200+ dollars here and I got it at only $170+!!! An absolute steal!!! The build is premium and feels good! The RGB also looks really good with combination with the build compared to my old Cosair keyboard.

I just got my hands on the SteelSeries Apex 9 Mini, and let me tell you, it’s like a party for my fingers! This compact 60% keyboard is the perfect blend of style and function, freeing up desk space for all my important gaming snacks (because we all know those are essential). The first thing I noticed is the sound of the keys—they’re so satisfying that I almost caught myself clicking away to a rhythm. Seriously, if there were a musical genre for keyboard clicks, this would be the headliner! Every press feels like a mini celebration, and I find myself typing just to hear that delightful sound. The response time? It’s practically instant! With a 0.2ms response time, I feel like I’m operating at superhuman speeds. The option to switch between a light 1mm press and a 1.5mm keystroke means I can tailor my experience for whatever game I’m diving into. It’s like having a keyboard that knows exactly what I need! The double shot PBT keycaps are not only durable but also feel great to type on. I’ve put them through some intense gaming sessions (and by intense, I mean yelling at my screen), and they’ve held up beautifully. Plus, the RGB lighting adds a touch of flair to my setup—my keyboard looks so good it could be in a tech fashion show! Overall, the SteelSeries Apex 9 Mini has completely transformed my gaming experience. If you’re looking for a keyboard that sounds amazing, responds faster than you can think, and looks fantastic on your desk, this is the one to get. Your fingers will thank you, and so will your gaming scores!
