Our Verdict

Wooting two HE

SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Wireless

The Wooting two HE and the SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Wireless are both high-performing gaming keyboards with an adjustable pre-travel distance feature. The major difference is that the SteelSeries is a compact, wireless board that lacks many of the software features that the Wooting has. The Wooting, on the other hand, is a wired-only, full-size keyboard. Using its companion software, you can adjust the pre-travel distance within a longer range than the SteelSeries, and you can enable an "Analog Mode" so the keypresses emulate joystick controls. The Wooting also offers many different multi-input features that are great for fast-paced games.
