Today’s mechanical keyboards are offered in a variety of switch types that vary according to several factors, but one of the main distinctions is in actuation distance, or how far a key needs to move before triggering a keypress. High actuation switches can activate with barely a touch, making them generally coveted for gaming while lower actuation models that require a full press are often preferred for everyday activities, like typing. But what if you could have one switch that offers the best of both worlds?
Steelseries newest keyboard, the Apex Pro (See it on Amazon), is attempting to offer just such an experience, with special switches that allow you to change the actuation distance whenever you want on the fly. It’s a bold idea that addresses one of my personal peeves with picking mechanical keyboards, while giving players a real chance to feel the advantage of the mechanical keyboard in every aspect of their computing life.
