Adjustable actuation for competitive typists

The SteelSeries Apex Pro uses OmniPoint switches that let you set the actuation point anywhere between .4 millimeter and 3.6 millimeter. This range suits gamers who want hair-trigger response and writers who prefer a deeper press. Per-key RGB lighting offers 16.8 million colour options. A magnetic wrist rest and aircraft-grade aluminium frame complete the package.

USB connection limits software features on consoles

The keyboard connects through a standard USB port and works with Windows, macOS, Xbox and PlayStation. On Windows 7 or newer and macOS 10.11 or newer you can run SteelSeries Engine 3.15 to reconfigure actuation, lighting and the OLED smart display. Console systems do not support the configuration software, so adjustments made on a PC are carried over but cannot be changed on the console itself.

Plug in and optional software install

Basic typing and default lighting work immediately after plugging the cable in. To customise actuation curves, OLED content or per-key colours you must install SteelSeries Engine on a supported computer. The most common issue is forgetting to update the firmware through the software, which can leave the OLED display or actuation settings unresponsive until the update is applied.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the 0.4 mm and 3.6 mm actuation settings on the OmniPoint switches?

Use the SteelSeries Engine software or the OLED smart display to set each key anywhere between 0.4 mm for rapid response and 3.6 mm for deliberate presses, matching your play style or typing preference.

What does the 0.4 mm to 3.6 mm actuation range actually feel like in a game?

At 0.4 mm the keys register with a feather-light touch for fast flicks, while at 3.6 mm they require a deeper press to avoid accidental inputs during intense moments.

Which USB standard does the keyboard use and what does it limit?

The keyboard connects via a standard USB port; the connection supplies power and data for the OLED display, per-key RGB, and adjustable switches without needing extra drivers beyond SteelSeries Engine 3.15.
