The SteelSeries Apex Pro comes with a unique option to adjust actuation. You can set different actuation points. To enable this, SteelSeries has invented the OmniPoint switches.
These switches look like the Red mechanical switch. However, they work in a completely different manner. Once you press them, they actuate the other mechanical switches and make 2 pieces of metal touch.
On pressing one of the OmniPoint switches, you push a magnet into its stem, and it goes closer to one sensor. You can use the magnetic fields or the Hall Effect to see the distance between its magnetic stem and the sensor that is at its base.
It allows you to set it at a distance that equals your keypress. This lack of physical contact makes sure that there is no degradation. Your switches ensure longer durability.
You can set the distance at which a press should be registered in the SteelSeries software. You can also do this at the OLED screen on your SteelSeries Apex Pro. Moreover, you can set it for each key.
If you set the actuation at 0.4mm, it offers special uses. For instance, it is beneficial for a first-person shooter who is driven by the speed in gaming. When you are not using it for gaming, you can set the actuation to a lower point. It helps with better accuracy while typing.
