Our Verdict

Fnatic miniSTREAK

SteelSeries Apex Pro

The Fnatic miniSTREAK and the SteelSeries Apex Pro are mechanical gaming keyboards, but the SteelSeries is a full-size board while the Fnatic is a TenKeyLess. The SteelSeries uses proprietary OmniPoint switches, which let you set the operating force to your preference. Also, it has much lower latency, and it has many extra features like a programmable volume wheel, a USB passthrough, and an OLED screen. The Fnatic is a good gaming choice if you don't need all the extra features the SteelSeries offers. The Fnatic is available with Cherry MX Silent Red and Kailh Speed Silver switches.
