The best part is that you can set 61 individual keys at different actuation forces. If you set your keys to 1, you can activate your switch with barely a press, while setting them to 10 requires you to depress the key fully. With the Apex Pro, you can adjust the actuation force of the OmniPoint switches to anywhere between 0.4 mm and 3.6 mm, which translates to a 1 to 10 scale in the SteelSeries Engine app. In most keyboards there isn't a simple way to change that fixed point without tearing the peripheral open. Keys have to travel to a certain point before they actuate.

Meet the OmniPoint Switch: A mechanical switch with adjustable actuation force. SteelSeries didn't put just any mechanical switches in the Apex Pro the company made its own. The Apex Pro also comes with a magnetic wrist rest that's incredibly soft to the touch, which is a nice change from pure plastic wrist rests. You'll also find to clips underneath that can elevate the Apex Pro. Meanwhile, the underside of the peripheral features three-way cable routing, which is especially useful to prevent the cable from awkwardly wrapping around the keyboard. To top it off, the Apex Pro has a USB pass-through port, which is located in the back of the keyboard, just between the Escape and F1 keys. You can activate these features via the SteelSeries Function key.

Meanwhile, keys F9 to F12 function as the keys for profile switching, on-the-fly macro recording, brightness down and brightness up, respectively.

There are six macro keys, which are secondary functions of the Insert, Home, Page Up, Delete, End and Page Down keys.
