Ducky One 3 Mini
8 / 10 Expert Rating
The same excellent build quality as the rest of the One 3 line, shrunk down to the smallest practical footprint.
SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini
9 / 10 Expert Rating
Per-key actuation tuning in the smallest layout SteelSeries makes — one of the most genuinely useful implementations of Hall Effect switching on the market.
