SteelSeries’ new Apex Pro Gen 3 has upgraded switches and a thockier sound

SteelSeries is launching its latest lineup of Apex Pro Gen 3 gaming keyboards today, and there’s a noticeable focus on improving how the keyboards sound and feel. SteelSeries is upgrading its Hall effect switches, adding dampening foam, improving its switch stabilizers, and even factory lubricating each key in an effort to create a thockier sounding board.

SteelSeries is moving to new OmniPoint 3.0 switches on the Apex Pro Gen 3 lineup, which includes a full-size board and TKL (tenkeyless) wired and TKL wireless variants. SteelSeries says it’s the “most technically advanced switch on the market,” and it has improved sensors that are designed to reduce noise.
