Bugha's keyboard history
Bugha has stayed with SteelSeries the whole time and only changed size. The table shows four periods, and the pattern is simple: he moves between the Apex Pro TKL and the Apex Pro Mini Black.
He started this stretch on the Apex Pro TKL in September 2022. In February 2023 he tried the Apex Pro Mini Black, but that lasted only about a month before he went back to a TKL, the 2023 version of the Apex Pro TKL. That one stayed for nearly 30 months, his longest run in the table by a wide margin.
In September 2025 he went back to the Apex Pro Mini Black, and it is his current board. The second stint on the Mini is already much longer than the first, so this looks like a settled choice rather than another quick test.

Switches and actuation
The Apex Pro Mini Black uses SteelSeries OmniPoint 2.0 switches. It is a 60% board, so the layout is compact and there is no function row, navigation cluster or numpad. That leaves plenty of desk space around the keyboard.
The PCB is non-hotswappable. What ships on the board is what you play on, and swapping switches means desoldering. That is a real difference from the Wooting boards listed in the alternatives, which are hotswappable and come with a range of switch options.
The board has RGB and weighs 610g, so it is fairly solid on the desk.
Key binds
Bugha's Fortnite layout is built around the left hand. Crouch is on L-Ctrl and jump on the space bar, so movement stays close to the WASD keys.
The harvesting tool is on 1, and weapon slots run from 2 to 6 along the number row. Building sits on X, V and C for walls, floors and stairs. Roof is on L-Shift, trap on T and rotate on G. Edit has F as a keyboard option, and Use has E.
Turbo Building and Confirm Edit on Release are both on, and Disable Pre-Edit Option is off. On a 60% board all of these keys are within easy reach, so the compact layout costs him nothing for this setup.

Should you buy Bugha's keyboard?
The Apex Pro Mini Black suits players who want a small 60% board and more room to move around the desk. It is also a good fit if you like a build-focused layout where everything sits near the left hand. If you want a function row or arrow keys, a TKL is the better choice, which is why Bugha's earlier boards were TKLs.
If you want more control over the switches, look at the alternatives:
- Wooting 60HE+ is the most-used of the three among pros. It is hotswappable and offers several switch options, including Lekker Linear and Lekker Tikken variants.
- Wooting 60HE v2 Silver has the same switch options and is also hotswappable. It is a much lower-profile board than the Apex Pro Mini.
- Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Mini is also 60% and non-hotswappable like the SteelSeries, but it uses Razer Analog Optical switches.
The trade-off is simple. Bugha's SteelSeries board gives you a fixed setup with OmniPoint 2.0, while the Wooting boards let you change switches later.
