The magnetic Hall Effect keys really won over the gamesradar+ editors. The huge customization options plus powerful new effects such as Rapid Trigger make Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 the best in class.
"SteelSeries nails the feel of these clickers, providing more tactility and awareness of how far down the actuation range you are with any given press. When it comes to dual-step commands and overall comfort, that's a big deal in Hall Effect options," they write in the review.
"With a set of Hall effect optical switches underneath (most of) the keycaps and a fantastic typing feel, it's the best gaming keyboard on the market."
"It's buttery smooth, with just enough thocc to feel satisfyingly mechanical in nature but with the speed and customization options of those optical clickers. Actuation points can be set to a super lightweight 0.1mm, which I found to be supremely speedy for competitive endeavors, or all the way down to 4mm for full travel. "
