Keychron K4 HE vs SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Gen 3

Buy the Keychron K4 HE if you want one keyboard for a Mac, a Windows PC and a tablet, need a numpad, and want to tune actuation and Rapid Trigger per key without a cable. Buy the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 if you mostly game on a desktop and want the most polished analog software, an OLED display and a wrist rest. Both use magnetic Hall Effect switches with adjustable actuation and Rapid Trigger, so the real split is wireless and a numpad versus a tighter TKL gaming build. Owners of the K4 HE praise it out of the box and its customization depth; Apex Pro owners rate it well, though it is heavier and desk-bound.

• Choose the Keychron K4 HE if you want a 96% board with a numpad that connects over Bluetooth 5.2 or 2.4 GHz to three devices and runs QMK firmware.
• Choose the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 if you game on a wired desktop and want GG QuickSet presets, an OLED smart display and a wrist rest.
