Sure, it’s detachable, but it’s hard and uncomfortable. The real shame of this otherwise impressive package is the included wrist rest. The button can also be used for switching profiles and, combined with the wheel, on-the-fly actuation tweaks. Like headphones and earbuds, a single tap of the media key pauses or plays, a double tap skips a track and a triple tap replays the song you’re on.
While there aren’t any physical macro keys, the Apex Pro TKL does have a volume dial, configurable OLED smart display and a single contextual media key. So, say, you may want to have a mid-range actuation profile for regular gaming, short actuation for ultra-responsive competitive gaming, and a long actuation for everyday typing. What’s great about the Apex Pro TKL is the ability to use user profiles to create different configurations for different purposes. If you rarely or never use a numpad, this won’t be an issue. I’m one of those numpad-using writers, and I found my right hand instinctively reaching for it instead of the row of numbers up top. The SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL is a great everyday keyboard, unless you happen to use a numpad. There weren’t any double keystrokes or missed strokes, which makes it incredibly reliable. The Apex Pro TKL handled every game I threw at it with ease, including Sons of the Forest and BioShock Infinite. For context, my long-serving Razer Huntsman Elite V2 Optical gaming keyboard actuates at 1.3mm and my replacement Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro is 1.2mm. This isn’t quite halfway between the minimum (0.2mm) and max (3.8mm), but it’s a nice middle ground that feels responsive without lending itself to accidental keystrokes. With default settings, the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL is a speedy performer with 1.8mm actuation settings. The removable USB-C connector makes it a keyboard you can easily take with you, plus the tenkeyless dimensions mean it takes up minimal desk space. In terms of weight, you’re dealing with around 750g, which is very light. As a tenkeyless keyboard, there’s no denying that the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL excels when it comes to game performance.
