Our Verdict

SteelSeries Apex Pro

Razer Huntsman V3 Pro [Mini, TKL]

The SteelSeries Apex Pro and the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro are wired gaming keyboards that use analog optical switches, allowing you to customize individual switches' pre-travel and reset distance. While both offer similar raw gaming performance, the Razer provides significantly better input granularity and supports analog output, which is useful in games like racing sims where you can benefit from gradual, joystick-like control. Their other differences lie in extra control features: the SteelSeries includes an OLED screen and a programmable scroll wheel, while the Razer offers dedicated media keys and a programmable rotary control knob.
