3rd Generation Tensor Cores: Get up to 2X the throughput with structural sparsity and advanced AI algorithms such as DLSS. These cores deliver a massive boost in game performance and all-new AI capabilities.
IP5X dust resistance offers protection from particle ingress for better durability.
A 2-slot design maximizes compatibility and cooling efficiency for superior performance in small chassis.
A stainless steel bracket is harder and more resistant to corrosion.
Auto-Extreme technology uses automation to enhance reliability.
GPU Tweak III provides intuitive performance tweaking, thermal controls, and system monitoring.
The SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Gen 3 is a high-end compact 60% gaming keyboard featuring Hall effect magnetic OmniPoint 3.0 switches with adjustable actuation from ~0.1 mm to 4.0 mm.
It offers advanced gaming features like Rapid Trigger, Rapid Tap, and Protection Mode to prevent mis-inputs.
The keyboard uses double-shot PBT keycaps, a detachable USB-C cable, and a compact aluminum top plate build for durability.
Other highlights: true 60% layout (61 keys), wired connection (no wireless variant in this size), per-key RGB lighting via SteelSeries GG software.
