      Save $60 on the Apex Pro Mini Gen 3, a 60% keyboard designed for speed with Rapid Tap.

      Best Buy

      If you prefer compact keyboards and prioritize quick, responsive inputs, this is a significant price reduction on a premium model. The SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Gen 3 is now priced at $159.99 (down from $219.99), giving you a savings of $60. This discount is noteworthy because adjustable-actuation boards often fall into the "nice, but expensive" category. At this price point, it’s much easier to justify if you’ve been considering a 60% setup for competitive gaming or a tidier desk.

      What you’re getting

      This is a 60% wired mechanical keyboard featuring OmniPoint adjustable switches, allowing you to customize how far a key must be pressed before it actuates. This is the primary advantage of this type of keyboard: you can configure it to respond almost instantly for gaming or adjust it for more deliberate typing.

      Another key feature is Rapid Tap, which enhances quick directional shifts and repeated inputs, ideal for fast-paced FPS and movement-centric games. Additionally, you benefit from the typical advantages of a 60% layout: more space for your mouse, a more compact setup for smaller desks, and easier portability if you switch environments.

      Why it’s worth it

      The real value here is in performance customization. If you’ve ever felt your keyboard was limiting—whether due to sluggishness or a need for greater control—adjustable actuation is one of the few features that can genuinely alter the way a keyboard functions, not just its appearance.

      This deal is also reasonable if you’re upgrading from a basic mechanical keyboard and prefer a "one and done" choice rather than settling for something inexpensive now and needing to replace it later. The only major consideration is the 60% layout: it’s excellent for gaming and minimal setups, but may require some adjustment if you depend heavily on dedicated arrow keys or function rows for work.

      The bottom line

      At $159.99, this is a great purchase if you seek a compact gaming keyboard with adjustable actuation and a focus on speed. Pass on it if you know you’ll miss a full-size layout for productivity, or if you won’t utilize the adjustable switch options.
