The new keyboards offer improved switches that are highly responsive, customizable, and can even prevent accidental key presses

SteelSeries Releases New Flagship Apex Pro Keyboards

The cheapest option of the three is the Apex Pro TKL Gen 3, clocking in at $220. It’s great for cramped desktops, as its lack of a keypad gives you plenty of space to make sweeping mouse movements. The Apex Pro Gen 3 uses a traditional keyboard layout and is slightly more expensive at $240.

The most premium of the bunch is the Apex Pro TKL Wireless Gen 3 at $270--but if you’re not a fan of wires, it’s worth the added expense. Instead of a cable, it connects to your system via a USB receiver or Bluetooth. Note that this one is already listed as “currently unavailable,” and it’s unclear when it’ll be back in stock.

SteelSeries isn’t the only company churning out new products, as Razer recently launched its BlackWidow V4 Pro 75% Wireless. The name is a mouthful, but it’s an absolute powerhouse--along with wireless support, it features an OLED display, a hot-swappable design, customizable RGB lights, a magnetic wrist rest, and its controversial Snap Tap technology, which helps register certain keystrokes at a faster pace. It’s a bit pricey at $300, but consider giving it a look if you need an ultra-premium keyboard.
