Our Verdict
Razer Huntsman Mini
SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini
The Razer Huntsman Mini and the SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini are compact gaming keyboards, but the SteelSeries has a unique feature that allows you to adjust the pre-travel distance on a per-key basis. Other than this feature, the two keyboards both have a similarly premium build quality and exceptionally low latency. The Razer is an older unit that's easier to find at a lower price, so unless you want the adjustable pre-travel feature on the SteelSeries, the Razer may be a better option.
