Got mine 2 weeks ago as well. No issues until today. All of a sudden it just SPAMS which causes Windows to crash. It seems to be rapid trigger related, but I cannot find any fixes besides setting the actuation much higher :(
@@stqui There is a fix that probably will work, it's called ''Calibration Mode'' you can search it up on youtube as ''Apex pro mini spamming keys fix'' or smthing
after owning this keyboard for a few months now, i recommend anyone buying it to download the software to do the firmware update and then uninstall the software. you can enable rapid trigger and set the actuation point on board. the software is such a buggy mess and takes anywhere from 5-6% of cpu utilization, which will make a difference in esports games
is rapid trigger where the second you start lifting the key it stops the key press even if your not back up past the acuation point? like the exact same as wootings?
In my opinion, there are only two major downsides to this keyboard; 1 - You have to have the SteelSeries app (which the app is bloatware btw) open all the time to keep all custom features enabled such as custom RGB layouts. 2 - I wish the switches were quieter, maybe closer to MX Reds would've been really nice.
You can actually change the switches but I mean since its soldered to the board it might be a pain in the ass. I think itd be nice if Steelseries just makes a web based software
where did you buy it? I'm sure you'd be fine since you're getting the latest batches and also the firmware seems to be flawless. Please let me know how your keyboard is
One of mine broke after updating firmware for rapid trigger and the one I’m using now bugged out for a little after updating. I ordered a wooting because there are waay to many reviews saying that they have the same issues with their pro mini. When it works it’s on par with the wooting and it’s been working for a month now. The 2 month wait for the wooting is also a good reason for buying this one but I just got scared of it breaking again.
it seems like its a hit or miss, I asked steelseries if theres any difference with early and latest apex pro batches and they said it's the same thing. Not sure what's causing some units to not work properly with the latest firmware update. I have mine plugged in my USB 3.2 port and it's working flawlessly.
@@khensationalReviews I plugged both of them into usb 3 ports because I heard that lower speeds can sometimes bug out keyboards, more specifically rapid trigger keyboards.
I've had two Apex Pro TKL 2023 keyboards start spamming keys. I'm talking to support now about the second one. I'll never buy another product from Steelseries. It's going to be painful to throw this almost $200 keyboard in the trash where it belongs.
My nephew bought this one yesterday, it started opening up apps by itself the X stayed red the colors weren't changing at all. It was like it's possesed or something. Got a new one today same story so it's going back.
Guys can you help me?I got the apex pro mini but it sounds reallllyyy badddd. I heard the apex pro mini on other streams and it sounds way better. What should I do?
1 week after buying it and flashing it it started mashing random buttons on its own, shame because its such a good keyboard even the guy that opened my ticket in the support said and I quote "Since we do not have an ETA for this, I would get a replacement. Thanks" I was asking about a possible firmware update fixing this bug but even they recommend getting an RMA 😭
This was a known issue with this product. I think it might just be a faulty firmware. I wish you can factory reset this keyboard and re install the firmware.
@@khensationalReviews not was... STILL IS and they haven't fixed it, i can't revert the firmware either so im still holding onto this thing that cost me 150 usd and i can't get a return or a meaningful refund since I live outside the US
Just put the rapid trigger above 0.1 even wooting keyboard can’t use it cuz it will give you ghost inputs wooting has theirs set to 0.15 minimum so just set yours to 0.2
we're getting HE keyboards at wooting price point(custom boards ..... excluding akko's but akkos is already half the price lol) soon tldr custom board HE >> wooting :D
Yes there's plenty of HE boards coming out soon like the Keychron and Rakka. I've seen a latency test that the Rakka actually has the lowest latency and even beats Wooting.
On my keyboard there is no option to change actuation? I got apex 9 mini but in the engine where u change it I only have the option for key binding meta bringing and settings?
I believe the Apex 9 Mini doesn't have any rapid trigger feature since it uses optical as opposed to the Apex Pro versions which uses the OmniPoint Magnetic Switches.
like with most main brands the problem is less the product, more their software. But WHY go for the copies when you can buy the original wooting, seriously.
Bro I got apex pro mini the next day when I ordered and my friend got wooting after 2 months. We both play valorant and believe me when I say in game there is no difference but wootility is infinite times better than steelseries gg.
I have to ask if this is still worth the purchase, after hearing all about the glitches that has been happening with this keyboard, I'm suddenly holding back buying it It's truly a shame though - it really is a good keyboard as an alternative, but it's worth not risking your money on just a broken software. I still wish to hear your thoughts though nonetheless, I would appreciate your response on that matter!
Sir I have tried more alternatives and honestly this ain't it no more. I'd wait for Akko Mod007 V3 HE 60% or saving up more for the Wooting. You can also get Waizowl Lightning 60 if you don't mind Raesha boards but Id only pay $99 USD for that. I personally feel like the QC is not that great.
@@khensationalReviews there is one I could still try, which is the razer huntsman v3 pro mini (tkl/mini) keyboard. I know, it isn't a hallow effect switch keyboard, and it's loud. But could still work nevertheless. There were a lot of positive reviews about it, that most popular e-sports players started switch to that. I honestly wanted to try Wooting, but the thing is that their payment methods were limited than what I intended, hence why I am looking for alternatives to the wooting 60he+ and this is one of them. It sucks, but I have to deal with it.
I heard the huntsman v3 pro RT isnt that great. I'd say get YOTD or wait for Rakka 60 or TKL. I really can't recommend the huntsman v3 pro because of the price is just insanely high for what it is. You can also check out the Polar65, I haven't tried that board but I hear good things about it.
It's about the same. Although I have an issue with drunkdeer not registering inputs during fast inputs sometimes. Also Drunkdeer support is also pretty meh
It might be best to save for the wooting, They sent me one and after testing it, it does give you a peace of mind when it comes to performance. Also the customization option is really nice. The out of the box experience is decent and on par with the apex pro mini but don't expect something out of the ordinary. It feels like any other gaming keyboard and the lekker 60 kinda feels like Gateron Yellows to me.
@@khensationalReviews wooting takes ages to deliever and I only have 180 eur price budget for the apex pro mini. im in germany rn just for vacation so yeah. idk which is better in smoothness of the clicks and stuff
Wooting is in stock right now and takes a bout a week to ship. One thing I don't like about the Apex Pros and even huntsman V3s is that the switches are soldered. With Wooting you can customize it however you like.
@@khensationalReviews The wooting maybe, but the drunkdeer not so much. The encoder is arguably terrible, possibly even scratchy with massive steps between each turn, key strokes are incredibly light too much so for my liking and lastly the software is very limited in terms of customisation, only around 7-8 preset colours and you can't even adjust them on a colour palate. Very disappointing purchase
