SteelSeries Apex 9 Mini

Compact Layout
Linear Optical Switches
Actuation Options
Custom Onboard Profiles
Choose between two actuation points
Set the registration point to 1.0 mm for a lighter press or 1.5 mm for a more deliberate stroke. OptiPoint optical switches use light to detect input, with a 35 g actuation force and a rated life of 100 million keypresses.
A smaller footprint for mouse movement
At 293 mm wide, Apex 9 Mini leaves more desk space beside your keyboard. The 60% design uses secondary functions for commands that would occupy dedicated keys on a larger layout.
Built for repeat use
Double-shot PBT keycaps provide textured surfaces and durable legends. Three-level feet let you choose a typing angle, while the detachable braided USB-C cable makes packing and cable routing easier.
Profiles and customization
Store up to five custom profiles and personalize per-key RGB in supported SteelSeries software. The switches can be replaced with compatible OptiPoint switches; this is not a universal mechanical-switch hot-swap board.
