SteelSeries APEX 9 TKL Gaming Keyboard

An 80% TKL layout says good riddance to the numpad and gives you more room for swiping. And since every single key is programmable, you can still get everything you need out of the smaller footprint. It's safe to say you'll never lose because of your board - anti-ghosting means it recognises all your key presses, and the optical switches have a pro-level 0.2 ms response time. Feel free to use it for work and play too - you can tweak the OptiPoint switch sensitivity to your liking. Game at ultra-fast 1 mm actuation, or bump it up to 1.5 mm for extra accuracy when you're working.

2-Point Actuation 

Adapt to any game by changing the registration depth from a fast 1mm light press to an accuracy-focused 1.5mm keystroke.

OptiPoint Optical Switches 

Experience optical speed like never before. The custom-built OptiPoint optical switches harness light to detect the registration depth of your keystroke for 33% faster actuation, zero debounce and a lightning-fast 0.2ms response time.
