These keyboards offer "the world's fastest keystrokes," for a high price

Gaming peripheral manufacturer SteelSeries has unveiled its latest addition to the Apex lineup: the Apex Pro Mini and Apex Pro Mini wireless keyboards.

Each keyboard uses the OmniPoint 2.0 switch, which operates between 0,2mm and 3,8mm and offers users faster response, actuation times, and even more tuning potential. It also features dual action keys, allowing users to program two actions on a single key, a premium feature we've seen on one of the best gaming keyboards, the Razer Huntsman V2 Analog.

SteelSeries claims that when set to 0,2mm, the 0,54ms response time is the fastest in the world. And the 60% slimmer design gives you more desk space and room for mouse movement.

The Apex Pro Mini Wireless will set you back €239 (around £200, AU$345) while the Apex Pro will set you back €179 (around £150, AU$260).
