integrated into the main keyboard as toggled functions. To reduce the width, everything east of the enter key had been removed, with the likes of the print screen, home and page down, etc. Similarly, the tilde key is shared with the escape key. These are all shifted down a row, and accessed using a special key with the SteelSeries logo. It does away with the top line of dedicated function keys. The Apex Pro Mini is about is about two-thirds of the size of a regular keyboard. The process required the two PC to be operational at once, with two sets of mice and keyboards available. Not a task that I was looking forward to, especially from a continuity of business point of view. I was in the midst of swapping out the Intel i9 10900K-powered review rig for the Intel i9 12900K equipped PC that I’d been using as a test rig for the last few months.

The SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini turned up with perfect timing.

SteelSeries has taken the design of its range of Apex keyboards to create a smaller version, the Apex Pro Mini.
