When I stepped into SteelSeries' Copenhagen offices and noticed what was on the table, my heart sank a little. It was another Apex Pro keyboard that, for all intents and purposes, looked the same as the last. My hopes weren't raised by talk of the new software presets and the company's take on SOCD, either. But then I heard the new Apex Pro 3 clack. And boy, does it clack.
I was mighty impressed by the unadulterated thockiness of the Apex Pro 3, given it's a Hall effect gaming keyboard and that weighty thunk is traditionally a more mechanical affair. Still, after the SteelSeries representative had given a tantalisingly short demo of the Pro 3's clickety clack, all talk of its newest bells and whistles fell on somewhat deaf ears.
