Why we like it

The Apex Pro TKL Wireless Gen 3 pairs SteelSeries' OmniPoint 3.0 Hall-effect magnetic switches — adjustable from 0.1–4.0mm with Rapid Trigger and Rapid Tap — with Quantum 2.0 dual wireless (fast 2.4GHz or Bluetooth) and a wired mode. Double-shot PBT keycaps, triple-layer sound dampening and a small OLED for on-board settings make it the most polished all-round premium option for players who also want wireless.
