There will be more functionality coming to this OLED display in the future, but that's all it can do right now.Īround the back of the keyboard, you'll find a USB pass-through. In fact, when you're adjusting the actuation through the OLED display, you can see a visualization of the amount of force required for each numbered setting. Right now, this OLED display can be used to adjust settings like actuation, lighting and OLED brightness without mucking around in the software. This OLED display will allow you to set a custom image, or even a GIF, further boosting the customization of this keyboard. And, while they are made of plastic, they still feel solid and premium.Ībove the number pad, you're going to find an OLED display, a volume wheel that you can click in to mute, and a media key which will play/pause your music by default. The key caps are elevated above the keyboard deck, giving the keyboard a very modern and clean aesthetic. The wrist rest is usually something we abandon right away, but we're still using it with the Apex Pro.

We wouldn't advise removing the wrist rest, however, as its covered in a soft faux-rubber material that is incredibly comfortable. In fact, if it wasn't for the wrist rest, this keyboard would take up about as much space as your standard office keyboard - luckily the wrist rest is magnetically attached. This minimalist design wins it big points as far as we're concerned. There is no space wasted on the sides, as the Apex Pro virtually ends where the keys stop. The aluminum frame of this laptop is just big enough to house it, without too much excess. Luckily, the SteelSeries Apex Pro avoids this trend. You'll constantly find these huge, foreboding slabs of plastic jutting out of the sides of a lot of keyboards. One of our biggest pet peeves when it comes to gaming keyboards in general is just how big they can get.
