There is nothing to dislike about this item

Lo volvería a comprar sin duda, llego muy rápido a pesar que fue importado

Great product at an awesome price!!! It costs more than $200+ dollars here and I got it at only $170+!!! An absolute steal!!! The build is premium and feels good! The RGB also looks really good with combination with the build compared to my old Cosair keyboard.

This keyboard has everything you want for gaming. Only 0.7ms input lag on rtings which is really good. The new optical switches are really consistent and I love how I can switch the actuation point depending on if I'm gaming or typing. The choice between 3 levels of elevation is also nice. For gaming, this is one of the best keyboards you can possibly get. I'm a high-mmr CSGO player and I can tell you this delivers. Your counter-strafing and ability to stop on a dime is amazing. This keyboard can take as many inputs at once as you can press and doesn't have cord splitting or other artifacts. It's true 1000hz polling too. You also have a good USB-C cord that's braided and detachable. You can also keep the tool under the keyboard if you travel to LANs or in general. It's perfect. You also have onboard memory and it's very easy to use the SteelSeries software to configure. It's easy to update firmware as well. The build quality is very good too. They used aluminum in the body and the higher quality PBT keycaps. Also, if anything breaks, you can easily replace the keycaps OR the switches themselves and SteelSeries actively sells replacement parts unlike Logitech for example who only sells switches and not keycaps. There's really nothing I can complain about. The only thing maybe is that some keyboards like the wooting have release triggered as soon as your key starts going back up. However the wooting has slightly more input lag on direct press and CSGO, Valorant, and most games honestly favor new inputs over releasing inputs anyway. Also some keyboards like the Corsair K65 have 8000hz polling rate which is insane. However with that being said, the 8000hz polling and early release triggering from those competitors really aren't a big deal and have their own downsides - especially the 8000hz polling because it can actually take up some more cpu usage so I don't think it's necessarily efficient at the sub 1ms level. Overall, I looked at all of the popular keyboards for gaming in this price range and this one was the best for the price for my setup. I didn't talk much about typing btw but I am a megaracer on typeracer.com and it feels very good to type on in the 1.5mm mode + 7deg incline. If you're looking for a gaming keyboard, look no further, this has literally everything with no downsides.

I just got my hands on the SteelSeries Apex 9 Mini, and let me tell you, it’s like a party for my fingers! This compact 60% keyboard is the perfect blend of style and function, freeing up desk space for all my important gaming snacks (because we all know those are essential). The first thing I noticed is the sound of the keys—they’re so satisfying that I almost caught myself clicking away to a rhythm. Seriously, if there were a musical genre for keyboard clicks, this would be the headliner! Every press feels like a mini celebration, and I find myself typing just to hear that delightful sound. The response time? It’s practically instant! With a 0.2ms response time, I feel like I’m operating at superhuman speeds. The option to switch between a light 1mm press and a 1.5mm keystroke means I can tailor my experience for whatever game I’m diving into. It’s like having a keyboard that knows exactly what I need! The double shot PBT keycaps are not only durable but also feel great to type on. I’ve put them through some intense gaming sessions (and by intense, I mean yelling at my screen), and they’ve held up beautifully. Plus, the RGB lighting adds a touch of flair to my setup—my keyboard looks so good it could be in a tech fashion show! Overall, the SteelSeries Apex 9 Mini has completely transformed my gaming experience. If you’re looking for a keyboard that sounds amazing, responds faster than you can think, and looks fantastic on your desk, this is the one to get. Your fingers will thank you, and so will your gaming scores!
