Introducing Apex Pro Gen 3

SteelSeries continues to innovate with even more keyboard features. Check out what we've been cooking up.


We've made waves when our Apex Pro keyboards became the World's Fastest Keyboard, but we haven't stopped.

However, it's not just software that's updating, as each Apex Pro Gen 3 keyboard received a facelift for a completely new typing experience. We're updating the switches to OmniPoint 3.0 to be even more precise. With a vastly improved build, new switch stablizers, typing on an Apex Pro is way smoother and quieter than ever before, and slaying foes even easier. If you've been on the lookout for a new keyboard or need an upgrade, now is the time to dramatically improve your experience with a fullsize, TKL, or TKL wireless.

New Features Introduced in Apex Pro Gen 3

Your keyboard isn't simply improving with Apex Pro Gen 3; we are pushing the envelope further as an innovative leader in the esports and gaming space. There are several new features coming with Gen 3, and some of them are exclusive to SteelSeries.

  • OmniPoint 3.0: We've upgraded the switch sensors for even better precision, if you can believe that. Magnetic Hall Effect Gen 3 sensors lead to more precise keypresses, more consistent feel, and less noise.
  • GG QuickSet: All the keyboard settings are getting complicated, but now with a few clicks, ready-made, optimal presets await you to auto-launch with your favorite games
  • Protection Mode: Accidentally "fat-fingering" important cooldowns or having other misclicks? This setting reduces the sensitivity of the keys around the one you pressed. SteelSeries exclusive.
  • Rapid Tap: You've helped us beta test and bring this feature out: this is SOCD (simultaneous opposing cardinal directions) technology for improved strafting in FPS games and not only.

Other Refinements to Apex Pro Gen 3

  • Rapid Trigger: This industry-forward feature reduces the latency from your keypresses, as it no longer requires them to fully reset; this will work in concert with Rapid Tap and Protection Mode to give you an edge.
  • Improved Keys: Typing on a Gen 3 has a brand new feel. Quieter, smoother, and it just clicks right — we've added per-key lubrication, triple-layer sound dampening, and improved, sturdier stabilizers to kill wobble. Furthermore, new switch tooling also goes a long way with these.
  • Fullsize Upgrades: Now the fullsize Apex Pro is brought inline with its younger TKL and TKL Wireless siblings, as it now also features a detachable, braided USB-C cable and Double Shot PBT keycaps.

Other fantastic features like the OLED Screen of course remain, alongside your favorite RGB settings. Note that Protection Mode is only for Apex Pro Gen 3 keyboards.

Ultimately, Apex Pro Gen 3 is an even stronger fusion of industry-leading software and a whole upgrade of hardware, for a greatly refined, premium feel.
