Almost Each keyboard todayApex Pro Mini has multiple layers of sound browsing inside the box. This includes a dense foam layer between the plate and PCB, and a secondary foam layer below the two -chlorine vinyl vinyl, and a thick silicon piece that fills the bottom of the box. Silicon peeling reveals output weights, which make the keyboard feel more intense, as well as prevent it from slipping on your desk, which is not usually done on a keyboard with a plastic box. However, these weights and silicone discord constitute a large part of the keyboard weight, which makes them feel light and beaten when removed.

Instead of keeping it with standard phillips, Apex Pro Mini uses T6 Torx. This makes dismantling more marginally more difficult for the ordinary buyer, but the T6 screw Cheap and common. Once these screws are removed, the PCB itself uses standard Pok3r/GH60 installation points, which means that most cases are 60 % of the stairs (such as TOFU660) Compatible with it.

In the end, Apex Pro Mini Pro is a good keyboard. It is good to write, works well for games, has acceptable building quality with some strange details. It is difficult to justify the price of $ 220. both of them WOOTING and Keychron Ask the keyboards the effect of the hall with similar functions, similar building quality, and better programs that can work in the future.

For $ 80, Keychron offers Hall Effect keyboards K2 is That has a practically identical performance, the same assembly installed on the stairs, and wireless communication. Or for $ 20 more than Apex Pro Mini, Keychron Q1 He It has all these features in addition to aluminum construction and brutal escalating, which both make the writing experience more enjoyable.

However, only Wooting 60He and Stelseries Apex Pro Mini have a 60 % real layout. Although Apex Pro Mini has more smooth switches and features such as protecting poor inputs, 60He has an 8K survey and a much better program, which is available for $ 175 with comparative specifications and performance. I don’t feel the money is well removed on Apex Mini Pro. If you really like what it seems, try to wait for the sale.
