Amazon is currently offering the SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard for $184.99 shipped. Normally going for $206 in recent months, today’s deal marks the lowest price we’ve seen for this model since February. For comparison, SteelSeries directly is matching today’s Amazon deal while Best Buy is still listing this model for the MSRP of $240. Coming equipped with the brand’s unique OmniPoint 2.0 adjustable switches, you’ll be able to change the actuation distance between 0.2 and 3.8mm. This is useful to make your movement keys easier to trigger while requiring more of a press to use your expendable equipment in games. A new feature with the 2.0 switches is Dual Action keypresses so you can configure two actions per key, like having a half-press on W be walking and a full press making your character sprint. The keyboard will come with a detachable USB-C to USB-A cable so you can charge the keyboard and also use it wired if you don’t want to utilize the 2.4GHz wireless functionality. Speaking of the keyboard, it utilizes the 60% form factor to save space on your desk so your mouse has more room to move around.

If you’re looking to save some cash, you could instead go with the Logitech G413 Carbon Mechanical Gaming Keyboard for $62. Unlike the keyboard above, the G413 Carbon uses Romer-G key switches that are “purpose-built for pro-grade performance, responsiveness, and durability.” Another difference here is that while the keys are backlit, it is only with red lighting which can have a few different effects applied using the Logitech Gaming Software. This same software allows you to set up custom functions and macros on the function keys. You will have access to a USB passthrough port for connecting additional peripherals like your mouse.
