It's definitely not what I'd call a compact board though, and that's almost entirely down to the extremely thick and rigid (non-detachable) cable. It's not a featherweight by any means, but I somehow expected it to weigh much more given the amount of features it has.
The first thing I noticed is how light the Apex Pro TKL is. This is the first keyboard of its kind, so naturally we decided to take a look and see if this keyboard is worth your hard earned cash or if it's more gimmicky than anything else. At first sight it's 'just' a flagship gaming keyboard, but under the hood are their new OmniPoint switches which allow you to customize the actuation point for each individual key. Ever since it cames out we've seen tons of Fortnite professionals switch to this particular product, so we're definitely not the only ones who got their heads turned by this new product. SteelSeries has been working to resolve that issue, and the Apex Pro TKL is the result of that work. Sure, you can swap switches ( some keyboards allow you to hotswap switches) but that involves some work and can become quite costly, so if you're someone who likes variety or a different setup for gaming and working things can get pretty complicated. But once you have a switch installed that's pretty much it. You can get them in a massive variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from budget picks to fully custom built boards with high end switches and top quality materials of your choosing. Some would say that mechanical keyboards have been pretty much perfected.
