Verdict

The SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Gen 3 is a seriously capable analog gaming keyboard, offering all the performance you could wish for. It's accurate, responsive, and comfortable whether you’re gaming or typing, while the build quality and customizations on offer are excellent. However, it commands a very high price for a 60%, wired-only keyboard, and there are some cheaper alternatives that compete strongly with it. But for the ultimate analog experience, the Apex Pro Mini Gen 3 is hard to beat.
