SteelSeries - Apex Pro TKL Gen 3

Pc tower itself, probably around 2K as a very lowball. I would say 1200, but inflation and tariffs (if you’re American) have raised prices along with low availability on parts. THAT is for building a pc. Prebuilt I’d say around 1500-2.3k. The minimum size monitors would be 27 inch Monitors. Those are around 150 (MSI) - to 500 (Samsung like mine). Both can do 4k, both can do 200+ fps My keyboard is a Steelseries apex pro, it was 200 at the time. My mouse was around like 40 or 50 bucks, a g5 hero with customizable weights and a couple extra buttons and a dpi button. You can get both a keyboard and mouse for under 200 if you’re on a budget. And there’s half keyboards that fps players use that are cheaper.

SteelSeries worked for me... Apex Pro keyboard and Aerox 5 mouse....w Novo Pro. Their GG and Sonar worked well with little bloat, everything served a function (key actuation points were important for me).

I like my Apex Pro Gen 3. Hardware wise it’s even nicer than my first Gen Apex Pro - software wise it got worse (no onboard memory anymore) The quick alternating keypresses are nice and it can be so sensitive that simply putting my hand on the key presses them.

I very much like the Hall Effect one I got from SS. Apex pro I think? Can't remember but it was 'spensive. Adjustable actuation distance on the keys is great.

Op1 4k v2, huano tbspd switches, with either artisan dots or corepad pros (not decided which i like best yet, love the dots but can feel a bit quick some days, corepads opposite issue. May try some full sized jades) on a type 99 + steel series apex pro tkl gen 3, I LOVE this setup, can’t see a reason I would change. I know the keyboard is no Wooting but meh, does the same job

LCD and OLED screens on keyboards are dumb and useless depending on your positioning. Had a SteelSeries keyboard with an OLED screen to which I never used for the 7 years I used it.

I highly recommend giving a hall effect keyboard a go. I got one of the steel series ones, and I'm never going back to mechanical.

I had the wooting 60he but I needed a bigger board and bought the apex pro gen3, love the keyboard nothing I can do to customize it other than a new wire and keycaps https://preview.redd.it/40xjornvlnqe1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c737d453ed571e3dbeb552c4d84dcebb9319b5d6

I have steelseries apex pro and its the same for me. currently considering to buy new keyboard because the backspace sometimes not registering keypress. wont buy another steelseries

I'm using the Mchose Ace 60 Pro with the TTC Uranus Magnetic SE switches. It's under $50. Simple and does the job. The software has gotten much better since launch. I used to complain about it but it's so much better. Not perfect but it works as it should now. Low bar i know. Sounds decent. Good weight... better than my more expensive Apex pro TKL ( didn't last as long for the price ) There are better so I'm told. TMR switches are modern and the direction gaming Keyboards will be going. One aspect of TMR, it uses less power which means they don't need a big battery in them and can go wireless and last a decent time before recharging. Mine is wired. Something to consider. He may want a clean, wireless Keyboard. I'll post the link to mine. It's pretty inexpensive.
