Our Verdict

SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini

Wooting 60HE

The SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini and the Wooting 60HE are mechanical gaming keyboards with Compact (60%) form factors. Both keyboards have exceptional gaming performance and analog switch functionality that allow you to adjust the pre-travel of individual keys. However, the Wooting has some additional software features the SteelSeries lacks, including a low latency Tachyon Mode, Rapid Triggers, the ability to assign up to four inputs to a single keypress, customizable reset points, and an Analog Mode that mimics the gradual inputs of a controller joystick.
