Our Verdict

Razer Huntsman Mini Analog

SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Wireless

The Razer Huntsman Mini Analog and the SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Wireless are both compact gaming keyboards with adjustable pre-travel distances. However, the SteelSeries implements this feature much more consistently and accurately. On the other hand, the Razer has an "Analog Mode," which means the keypresses can emulate joystick controls on a gamepad.
