If you are a PC player seeking ways to improve your gameplay but tired of spending forever customizing your keyboard settings, you must read this article!
SteelSeries remains at the forefront of keyboard technology, as we just launched the Gen ٣ of our Apex Pro gaming keyboards. With it, we’re releasing several new features, including QuickSet, which takes out the guesswork from setting up your keyboard for your favorite games.
We know it can be frustrating to spend time and live-test keyboard settings, or maybe it’s all just too much to follow. So if tinkering with Actuation, Rapid Trigger, and so on is not your style, just use GG QuickSet and start winning.
What is GG QuickSet?
We now offer Apex Pro Gen ٣ users keyboard ready-made presets for various games. Simply select them from the GG QuickSet menu in the SteelSeries GG software, and they will automatically launch with your game.
If you connect an Apex Pro Gen ٣ keyboard to GG after updating it to GG ٧١٫١, a new icon will be added to the side navigation menu: that will be QuickSet! This feature is also available to the ٢٠٢٣ versions of Apex Pro TKL and TKL Wireless.
As soon as you click on the QuickSet Icon, you will be guided through a quick onboarding process. This will provide an initial walkthrough and launch a game detection scan, to ease the adding & customizing of profiles afterwards.
Once you pass that first step, you will see the primary views of the feature:
1. Dashboard: Device selection and configurations
٢. My Games: Lists all the games detected by GG QuickSet
You can easily select a favorite games from the list (or manually add a game if one is not detected).
Once the desired game is selected, you will be taken to the Dashboard view and can apply desired configurations to your devices for each game.
What's the win?
Now comes the best part of the story. Every time users launch a game with a configured QuickSet profile, the feature will auto-magically recognize the game being played and apply the relevant preset, and users will see this notification pop:
As soon as you switch windows or close your game or close, your settings return to their default state.
Here’s what the Fortnite preset changes:
Here, you have four different actuation ranges configured. Protection mode, Rapid Tigger & Rapid Tap on. And they’re all gathered in one preset, Available in only one click!

So if you’re an Apex Pro Gen ٣ gaming keyboard user and want to enjoy Rapid trigger, Protection mode, or Rapid Tap (for instant strafing) in perfectly balanced configs without effort, you must give GG QuickSet a shot to play your games, not settings.
