## Long description

The STEELSERIES Apex 9 Mini is a compact 60% wired gaming keyboard with a US QWERTY layout and USB connection. Built for responsive input, it uses OptiPoint optical switches that detect keystrokes with light for faster actuation, zero debounce and a 0.2 ms response time. The keyboard retains full-size functionality through side-printed secondary functions, offers per-key RGB illumination via SteelSeries Engine, and is finished with a durable aircraft-grade aluminum top plate and double-shot PBT keycaps.
Advantages
OptiPoint optical switches deliver 33% faster actuation and selectable 1.0 mm or 1.5 mm registration depths for a balance between speed and precision. Switches are swappable for customization. The Series 5000 aluminum top plate increases rigidity and structural stability, while double-shot PBT keycaps resist fading and provide a textured surface for consistent typing feel. Detachable braided USB-C cable and height-adjustable tilt legs add durability and ergonomic flexibility. SteelSeries Engine enables per-key RGB lighting and custom actuation settings.
Suitable for
Competitive gaming where fast key response is critical
Compact or space-constrained desk setups
