![]() While you do get a USB passthrough port on the keyboard, it takes two USB cables to power the Apex Pro. One thing, though, you'll want to make sure you have a USB hub handy. There's the aforementioned aircraft-grade aluminum chassis, per-key customizable RGB lighting, a soft-touch magnetic wrist rest, a cable that can be routed through one of three points under the keyboard, a dedicated volume roller and mute switch, and a dedicated media button. The entire deck is very well thought out. If you're looking for that machine-gun din while hammering away at the keys, you'll need to pick up a Razer or Das Keyboard deck. ![]() The only issue one could possibly have is that the OmniPoint switches are smooth, not clicky. Each key is rated for 100 million presses, but can theoretically go for 200 million or more. Unless someone else adopts similar technology, I don't see a reason to ever switch from the Apex Pro. They're the fastest switches I've ever used on a keyboard and they're impressively easy on the fingers. While you can't disable keys surrounding your gaming hot keys (like you can with the Logitech G915), you can make it more difficult to accidentally activate those keys. Whereas you need a purposeful press if you set the actuation to 10. The lowest requires only a feather touch to activate the key and is perfect for twitchy gaming sessions. While it seems like it'd be an easy throwaway selling point, there actually is an appreciable difference between the first and last actuation point. What's nice is that you can save them in a preset to be loaded later so that it's easy to switch from standard typing to a gaming configuration on the fly. Any one of the 61 main keys can be adjusted anywhere from 0.4mm all the way to 3.6mm. That's why you can modify the actuation point via the onboard OLED screen or the (Mac-compatible) SteelSeries Engine.
