We have, for example, used the same key to walk and run, the only difference being that we’re pressing lightly when walking and deeper when we want our character to start running. It’s definitely useful, very responsive, and quite convenient when playing games like Cyberpunk 2077.

Its dual actuation prowess – its per-key ability to have two actions at different actuation points – is just as effective.

The opposite thing happened when we changed A’s actuation to 0.2 and kept P at 1.1. During testing, we changed the WSP keys from 1.8 to 1.1 and kept the A key at 1.8, and we could tell the difference – it took a little more pressure to move Razputin on Psychonauts back or left than it did moving him forward or right. Its adjustable actuation (3.8 to 0.2) really works and works well. However, there’s still no denying that the price you're paying for those customizations is pretty steep for most gamers – and it feels steeper still if you won’t be taking full advantage of this keyboard's superpowers. That high price makes a lot of sense, though, if you compare the features, as neither of those keyboards can compete with the level of customization the SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Wireless offers. Same with the newer Corsair K70 Pro Mini Wireless, which will also set you back $179 (£169, AU$299). The popular and well-received Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed, for example, will only cost gamers $179 / £179 / AU$299 of their hard-earned money (and we use the word 'only' very loosely here). Programmable keys: Yes, with adjustable actuation and dual actuationĭimensions: 11.53 x 4.02 x 1.59 inches (293 x 103 x 40.3mm)Ĭharging $239 / £239 / AU$499 for a mini keyboard seems a little excessive, even if we weren’t in the middle of an economic squeeze – several of the best 60% and 75% wireless keyboards on the market are considerably more affordable.
