Do you love Mini keyboards but wish that they would have that arrow functionality for work and other purposes? Do you dream of jumping from cell to cell in Excel with arrow keys on your keyboard?
Now you can do that with an Apex Pro Mini. Here's how.
We are enhancing the functionality of certain Apex Pro keyboards with a brand new setting in QuickSet!
This configuration is available for the following Apex Pro keyboard models:
This will change some of the bottom right keys on the Mini to behave just like arrow keys. So even though up to this point it's been lacking it, thanks to this setting, it will be possible to have arrow keys.
Our Instagram reel is the perfect tutorial to pull this off.
To enable this setting with a QuickSet profile:
Identify games or manually find programs that you want it work for, such as Excel. Most games should appear on your list of Scanned Games.
Create a QuickSet profile for that game or app; you will have to make it on a per-game or software basis.
Use the dropdown menu under the keyboard to choose Mini Arrow Key.
When the setting for the QuickSet profile is active, the bottom right keys of your Apex Pro Mini change functionality to arrow keys.
🡩 : Right Shift
🡪 : Right Control
🡫 : SteelSeries Meta Key
🡨 : Right Windows Key
Those keys will lose their typical functionality, instead working identically to typical arrow keys on TKL and full-size keyboards. This is yet another way your SteelSeries keyboard can be customized to your preferences.
Enabling arrow keys on your Mini is possible through GG. So if you've been looking for a work-and-play versatile gaming keyboard, Apex Pro Mini might be just what you need.
