I wish they can make a low profile version of the wireless one that would be my perfect keyboard.
I’m so hyped for this
I'm using this keyboard right now! I love it! Thank you so much for making this
My friends keep calling me a steelseries fanboy because i refuse to buy anything from other companies, i don't understand the big deal. Ive been gaming without a monitor for ages now but i can wait :)
You can use the display in the keyboard
@@RussellAuckram yeah you can play snek on it now
@@RussellAuckram it also runs valorant on 15 fps 🤗
Finally you made it! I have been waiting so long for a good TKL Wireless keyboard as there is almost none out there! Good job Steelseries, this is IT!
@Brando Commando 3 year old garbage
Depends what you like, there are actually a bunch. For example Roccat Vulcan Pro TKL is overall much better for a all-time use and more durable while the Apex is starting to feel mushy after a while.
They could easy make rapid fire mode just like wooting has. even showing it in the on keyboard softwere like i think it could be made with just a softwere update to the keyboard . i havent tried the wooting 60he I ordered it but I canceled the order cuz I need a tkl but I belive the rapid fire mode is just insane. I bought the new apex pro tkl v2 my first apex pro and I play on 0.2mm the lowest actuation and I just hate the fact that I need to release the key literally ALL the way up to reuse it again .. they could easy make it in the softwere that like the keyboard automaticly recognizes how far u press the key and as soon as it recognizes that the presure is going off ( going in the - way) it pays attention for the exact moment the presure goes back up ( in the + way ) and right at that exact moment the presure goes up in the + way it sets a mark (or even 0.2mm after that moment it sets a mark) and the 0.2mm actuation go from that mark not top of the key and so on back and forth same princible like wootings rapid fire diagram. like cmon that should be possible right?? even with just a softwere update because I mean the keyboard already recognizes adding and releasing presure to a key you can see that on the actuation tab on the keyboard display so just update the softwere so the keyboard makes on its own the reset point for the acctuation based on the exact moment of the reapplaid presure. Would also even be extrem happy if like I said before: the moment the reapplaid presure happens 0.2mm later sets a mark and the 0.2mm actuation goes from that mark so like 0.4mm from the exact moment of the reapplaid presure.. I play fortnite alot and Im saying this problem only for the game fortnite . I have moments where I press 3 times really fast the key F to edit but the keyboard only recognizes 2 times because I do it so fast that the one time I probably dont let my key F go all the way up in the starting position ( so above the acctuation level which i use 0.2mm) for the acctuation to reset and to get the input and if the 3 times pressing work just fine when I try to do multiple tripple edits so I need to press like 6 or 9 times the key F really fast it happens again cuz you just also need to apply that time of you releasing the key all the way up( so above the acctuation level which i use 0.2mm ) to get a input back again in your playstyle.
when can we expect full version?
If it's possible I'd like to see the rapid trigger feature wooting has in their keyboards to be added to the apex pro series of keyboards I bought an apex pro mini recently and I honestly wouldn't recommend it when the wooting keyboards are right there that can do everything these keyboards can do and more the only benifit these keyboards have is that you can go to the store and pick them up rather than have to wait like 4 months for your wooting to arrive but if you guys added more of the features the wooting has to offer from their software then the apex pro keyboards would have the edge over wooting because you'd be able to offer the same features and have that instant availability by being able to just run to the store and pick one up
the wooting is also $300 more dollars
@@bahn4686 are you stupid?? the wooting 60 he costs 190 $. not 500$
your wish is yours to keep my friend :)
THIS IS INSANE!!!! STEELSERIES BIG FAN, LOVE U
Just copped. Lessss gooooo. Love SteelSeries
Are they going to release a version with numpad soon?
Is there a version with a numberpad??
How can you make 2 key in 1 function exclusive to the new model? what a bout fullsized Apex Pro?
steelseriers, u have done it again omg.
epic price absolutely!
When are you making a Nordic/Swedish version of the apex pro tkl (2023)?
Finally a wireless apex pro tkl!
This Pricing is really crazy.. After years it's getting more and more expensive. Older version from Apex Pro was really an upset of the Build Quality.
I just returned the 60% pro mini wireless. It's a good keyboard but not $250 good
now PLEASEEEE make it an option for my all in white setup to be able to get it in white if so im sold
This one looks so goood, DAMN
I'm desperately looking for a company to make a keypad with an analog thumb stick to compete against Razer Tartarus line. So much missed opportunity imo.
Logged a ticket with support due to the firmware issue they said they wanted to RMA it despite several other people saying they have the same issues and now are ignoring my emails and updates to the support ticket, helpful
Same here
Will it come in Nordic layout?
I mean cool and all ,but the only thing that is missing is rapid trigger ,wich for exapmle the wooting60he has (actually its the only keyboard wich has rappid trigger)
Why do you have to be so epic
BUSSIN
Wish i could animate like that
I know this is going to be super expensive but I think thats very good
Great keyboard
we need an all white version
so far i have got this new keyboard and the software engine is not working and there are no profiles on the lcd switch like the older 22 model, so far the lcd switch has for the colours is a brightness switch and thats it, i cant change the keyboard colours from the default mad flashing, the flashing on it when i type is about to give me an epileptic fit, it is the wired keyboard its not like the older 2022 model which was much better looking with its smoother profile but had dodgy leds. steel series fix the software so we can adjust this keyboard,and please bring back the usb port passthrough as i need to be able to plug my gaming mouse into the passthrough usb and put the power plug in on the rear right side, we dont want to see trails of wire going from the keyboard across our tidy desktops to the pc
basically the same but with pbt keycaps
i still have the first gen apex pro and it is still very good, it last very long so i dont see i need to buy the new one
When is the new wireless mouse????
Cant wait to use this keyboard steelseries pair with razer mouse
the song go brrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I have this keyboard and when I connect it to my PS5 it reads it as a mouse. I haven't been able to play with this keyboard on my PS5. any idea of the solution? thank you.
if u made an apex pro 60% wireless white version then that would be so fricking perfect i would buy without hesitating
It exists
just buy white keycaps
Buy Wooting 60HE
@@alphacino3514 nah its kinda ptw
Amazing build quality, but please fix your softwere...
STEELSERIES WHY?? I JUST BOUGHT THE APEX 9 MINI DAMN YOU
It was just as hard to restrain ourselves from buying any previous version when rumours of this was around months ago. Delivery Saturday!
Anyone notice the music is made from keyboard clacks and mouse clicks? xD
Please release this 2023 iteration in the full size variant!! Can I expect that soon? 🥹
Ofc just but the apex 9 mini
Me who got the regular apex pro TKL an month ago and sees this: *emotional damage*
Time to upgrade 😂
Older one is still better imo
@@saucyeuWhy?
@@Rodrigo_A1 Looks better. Better build quality and the keys sound a little different
Any performance improvements?
why not shipping to turkey ? Im so sad for this
give me this legend
Finaly a cable you can replace
Barely faster than the corsair i had before this
waiting for the full size. Is this not hot swappable?
its not
@@Jacobrod315 oh its the apex 9 that is hot swappable.
can diy oled？
I'm use apex pro from 2019 now will be upgrading 🙂
Why the difference won't be noticeable
@@xyunasi2152 I just buy, old one is too big because is full size I want something smaller also I want some improvement, and yes this was waste money
is there even any difference?
@@greegp7400 You can buy the old Apex pro TKL
@@michaelblue4619 on paper yes, but you won't notice a difference.
But why didn't you give us 100% Omni switches instead of just 60% of the switches???
No rapid trigger ?????????????????
Bruh dont put 2023 in the title, for like weeks i thought this was releasing in 2023 and just didnt check to find out ☠ Just placed my order hope it dosnt dissapoint!
I want to know, how to make steelseries make their RGB drivers work with all motherboards, including steel legend from asrock polychrome? Does it take a complete switch of brand after 2 mouses and a keyboard,i mean all mechanical ? Boycott ?
Wooting still faster with more features..
Any F keys there? also, I've tried to buy a Wooting from Amazon for around a year, and they are never up for sale. Far East. This is pre-order. Arrives Saturday.
Bro the wooting two 60HE is faster by 0.1
🤓👆
If it has as good battery as aerox 3 expect it to be wireless 2hours or less. and battery degradation 90% in less than year so its wireless just like aerox 3. Be hero buy Logitech.
How do I to setup this keyboard on PS4 because it doesn't work
so you bought a 250$ keyboard for a 260$ device
@@kfczingerbox7889 no , I gonna buy a pc later
Wooting 60HE is the fastest with rapid trigger🎉.
I don't understand why this keyboard doesn't have it. The switches should be capable of it right? Hoping they add it with a software update. I didn't want to wait until January for a wooting so I bought this.
Sadly it is not possible to use this function in csgo ):
Why is the board plastic 😑
Love the product and it is amazing ... but i hate the unreachable customer service! Hey! Get a phone!!!
LMAO just bought the apex pro mini yesterday, i hate my life
Same bro 😞
Why it's a great keyboard. And you don't lose much
@@lucutes2936 i know but i prefer tkl version but im happy anyway
@@startcior9354 is it nice?
@@lucutes2936 yes but not worth the change if u have apex pro tkl
not everybody has £200 to spend nowadays..

What are you gonna do with a num pad?
@@saucyeu play vsrg
@@saucyeu I'm LEFT-HANDED (the 13% but 90% ignored), It's all I use for gaming these past twenty years.
👀👀
so the keyboard suks.. it resets the actuation time to 1.8 after every sleep/unsleep cycle to 1.8 you can see it on oled screen in keyboard or software if using onboard profile
I wish I could work for Steelseries marketing district using the same sentences they used 4 years ago
Wow
Guck my life just bought the other tkl yesterday
You can cancel or return it within 30 days if you bought from steelseries!
Send it back and get a refund.
@@spaceiswater6539 I bought it off eBay 😞
@@spaceiswater6539 can I get it back if I got it from eBay with money back
@@spaceiswater6539 I’m thinking of selling it
The wooting two can already do that and do 5+ actions per key+ totally reprogrammable keys+controller and analog movement, for less money. and It's 0.1 mm and pls use optical switches it's faster. The wooting 3 will be 8khz+optical. U're not in da future guys, you are looking in the past
Wooting not available on Amazon here in the Far East.
epic

Dear consumers beware of purchasing Steelseries 2022 wireless keyboards and if you take a few moments to read this article, you will understand the theory that leads you to buy them and why you should avoid that at all costs so you don't find yourself in the same situation like me. Also, there is a message for Steelseries to take some notes for future untested releases launched in a hurry.
I recently purchased a keyboard from Steelseries, the Apex Pro Mini Wireless but I had to return it because I couldn't accept the software errors it came with, especially since the list price is much higher than other commercial keyboards on the market.
It's a shame because it's a well-balanced keyboard from a mechanical point of view, of the materials used, and it's a pleasure to use it for typing.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to test it on the entertainment side because of certain errors and I still regret that I couldn't reach a compromise to avoid the return.
I would like for them to solve the following issues from the software, which represent the reasons why I made the return:
The battery, according to the software, lasts less than the specified time. The transition from 100% to 85% is done quickly, in less than an hour with the brightness kept at maximum, on the wireless function. It is not a factory defect or a software issue because I got a confirmation from 2 other people that tried this keyboard and stated that the battery fully depleted under 10h of usage. It's not designed to be used at maximum brightness!
PLEASE STEELSERIES, DO SPECIFY THE BATTERY CONDITIONS OF USAGE, AS THIS IS VERY MISLEADING!
You cannot completely disable the "Escape" key light manually or through software while charging in wired mode so that it no longer flashes with a different color than the rest, green. Also, once it is fully charged, 100%, the key stays lit in the respective color (Green Lantern Mode). This is specified in the user manual, but it should be a choice for the consumer and should permit the option to disable it in the software. Below I have attached 2 official photos from Rtings.com with the keyboard at maximum and minimum brightness. It is a distracting feature and basically you cannot use it wired due to the intensity of the key that stays lit at maximum brightness. Don't think this feature will be removed since it's designed that way and nothing was done since it was released, a few months ago. Since the battery doesn't last that long (a lot less than 30h with max brightness) you will find yourself in need to often plug the cable. The battery charging indicator is really a troublesome feature.
It makes more sense for them to implement a 3 button press feature with the escape key included to indicate the battery level from F1 to F10 in 10% gradients without having to check the software and if they still want to keep the function of the blinking green color to include it there, but on press, to indicate that it's charging!

Switching from idle to pairing on Bluetooth is not fast after entering the battery conservation mode, when the functions are closed.
The color profiles for the lights do not remain set, if the connection with the dedicated software is lost. As long as the switch is made to another device where the software is not installed or supported, it will not allow them to be kept.
To set the colors, the connection to the software is always necessary because only 5 light effects can be adjusted from the keyboard functions and it is not possible to select, for example, the color Orange or White (also recommended not to strain your eyes), reference colors associated with the Steelseries brand. Also, the effects cannot be set directly from the keyboard, present on previous models.
For devices that come with IOS, the wake up function is not compatible, without the need to connect the USB-C receiver, for stability.
Once one function on the key is replaced by another, from the software, the keyboard simply freezes and you have to switch it off and on.
Also, in the reviews made by the online promoters, for this model, these aspects were not discussed, mentioned, and i wish that the respective information was more transparent because, after all, we are the consumers. Everything they mentioned negatively was related to the high price, stating the obvious.
I would like Steelseries to do something about the user's choices in the software so that all settings can be saved on both Bluetooth / Wired / Wireless on a single profile and to be able to configure the effects and colors without depending entirely on the software.
In their defense, the company does make quality products, though i don’t think they proceeded in the right way with the wireless variant, especially on the marketing side since they weren’t that transparent nor tried to fix some of the mentioned issues, since it was released.
What's important is the action Steelseries should take after these constructive feedback. Also, I wish they offered a better support since I tried to contact them about this problems and got evasive responses.
If you are unsure about this keyboard, undecided to buy it and wondering if some mentioned features, software issues have been fixed, that information can be checked here techblog.steelseries.com/
UPDATE 1:
I bought another unit to test it more rigorously and after it was completely discharged it didn't want to charge overnight above 60%, it froze at that threshold! To fix this issue, I had to unplug and plug the wire! I want to mention that I had several keyboards from other manufacturers and so far I have not got my hands on any that had this many problems at once!
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO STAY FAR AWAY FROM THE WIRELESS VERSION! I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT AT ALL SINCE YOU WILL MOST LIKELY RETURN IT. ALSO, IF YOU FINALLY DECIDE TO GIVE IT A GO, DON'T THINK ABOUT TRYING YOUR LUCK WITH ANOTHER UNIT SINCE THEY ALL HAVE THESE PROBLEMS!
I'm "GLAD" that instead of focusing on fixing these issues for products already released in the market and taking into account what other consumers are saying, they did the exact opposite and rushed with the release of the TKL APEX PRO WIRELESS VERSION... If it will have the same problems, it will simply cause you to lose all trust and hope in the company.
HAVING AN AWESOME DESIGN, BEING COMPACT AND COMFORTABLE TO TYPE ON DOESN'T WORTH ALL THE OTHER HEADACHES IT COMES WITH!
BATTERY ISSUES + GREEN FLASHES (acute dizziness) = UNACCEPTABLE!
UPDATE 2:
It took 7 hours to charge from 60% to 80%, and after i plug out the cable, the battery immediately dropped from 80% to 70% and apart from that i experienced another issue with 2 keys ("enter" + "" keys) that weren't responsive in terms of RGB colors. Those buttons were also deactivated from the GG software and they were grayed out, undetectable, impossible to select. Switched on and off the keyboard multiple times, switching between connectivity features, until they became responsive and I could again select them but that also reset the color selected for the other key lights.
GOT ALMOST HALF A BATTERY THAT WILL LAST 5 INSTEAD OF 10 HOURS, GG = GOOD GAME!
STEELSERIES THIS IS BEYOND RIDICULOUS! YOU ARE MESSING WITH YOUR CONSUMERS BIG TIME! FIX THE EXISTENT ISSUES BEFORE RELEASING OTHER PRODUCTS!
If you can't possibly fix them after 2 months do what's expected of you and arrange a mass recall.
I'm glad I ran into this comment. Your issues with not being able to change RGB profiles when using a different computer (in my case when i have it running bluetooth into my work computer where I can't install the software) and the GG software being extremely buggy is the main reason why I'll be returning it. They didnt mention any of that on the website but i assumed id be able to do this since the other Apex keyboards seem to allow this, but nope. It stinks because being able to change actuation and the quality and comfort of typing on it has been great.
