SteelSeries Apex 3 - Gaming Keyboard - Silent Gaming Keyboard - 10-Zone RGB Illumination - IP32 Water & Dust Resistant - Premium Magnetic Wrist Rest - English QWERTY Layout , Black

I’ve been using the SteelSeries Apex 3 for both gaming and everyday tasks, and it’s been a very solid keyboard overall. It feels reliable straight out of the box and performs well in daily use. The keys are responsive and comfortable, making it suitable for competitive gaming as well as typing I haven’t experienced any missed presses. The RGB lighting is bright and shines through the keycaps nicely, with plenty of colour options and effects so you can customise the look to match your setup. One feature I really like is the detachable magnetic wrist rest. It’s comfortable to use during longer sessions and snaps on/off easily with strong magnets, so it’s simple to adjust your setup depending on how you’re using the keyboard. It’s worth noting that this is a membrane keyboard, not mechanical. If you’re specifically looking for mechanical switches or extensive customisation (like swapping switches or keycaps), this might not be the right choice for you. Overall, it’s a great keyboard for gaming and general use excellent RGB, solid performance, and a nice magnetic wrist rest make it a strong value overall.

Very soft keyboard, not really loud, the keys work with low pressure, very good for gaming. The lights are beautiful and diffused. The volume and the extra button are a nice touch, I didn't think i'd need it but surprise surprise. It is heavy enough, seems very sturdy and the magnet pad had a nice touch it's just really good. Worth the money for me.

Even though it is a tad high, using the provided wrist support makes it a very comfortable kb. (Btw, the wrist support is attached with a couple of magnets so it snaps in to place and detaches itself easely, super easy). RGB zoning is a good enough, specially if you're not planning in using super flashy setups (I always set mine to 'breathing' or 'static'). So no per-key RGB, but going one model up gives you that if you wish so, but the type of key mechanism is different, as this is a membrane keyboard, which makes it a little more silent than mechanical keys, but there's no option to chose from (as with mechanical kb which have different types of switches). All in all, key stroke lenght is not overly deep so it's quick enough for typing for most people and not bad for gaming (most likely for most people too). The volume rocker/mute button works great, but it doesn't have other dedicated media controls by default (except play/pause) , but as the keyboard is customizable (per key) with the Steel Series Engine software, you can set different profiles and use the 'M' keys as media keys (it has 6 'M' keys that double as INS, HOME, PG UP, DEL, END and PG DN, the M is activated by pressing the Steel Series key, like a Fn key) if it's something you need. If pairing this kb with a SteelSeries mouse with customizable buttons, you can use those for media. On the back it allows for the most convenient cable routing as it has locking clips to make the cable 'exit' the kb from any side or from the center. Nice little detail. Price point is great as the quality is very good for an 'entry level' model, and despite having a plastic body it's rigid enough. Only caveat I find is that keys are a little high, but it's mainly a purely aesthetic opinion and my personal taste. 5 stars for now, will review in a couple of months with a use report.

Pros: -SWITCHES. great. they're a really nice type of membrane that feel really stable. better than any other membrane i've used. for someone used to a normal membrane this thing is amazing. for someone used to mechanical, it varies: in my opinion they're a nicer version on the blues, they have a nice solid bump to press going down, the rubber makes them quiet but not squishy when they hit the bottom. -TYPING. because of the solid bump they're great for typing, nicer than mechanicals in my opinion -GAMING. having tried out many keyboards for gaming i notice that you really can get used to any switches while gaming so that doesnt matter that much. dont notice any feeling of slowness or input lag. (warning: this item does not make you good at any game) ​-QUALITY. everything but the wheel top right is made of a rubber coated plastic, high quality for price. nice rubber on all keyboard feet and wrist rest. -KEYS. had this for a while now and none of the keys/switches feel any different or defected yet -SPACEBAR. i have to give credit to the spacebar and the rest of the larger keys, they have amazing stability. the space probably wobbles less left to right than the other keys. that individual switch feels exactly like the rest which is rare on a keyboard on keyboards even above this price range. -RGB. the rgb (lights) are great. supposed to be fully customisable with software but i think its bugged at the moment. no big deal though because default is fine. brightness can be turned down and off if you like that. Cons: -CAPS. any of the light beneath the logo top right for caps,number lock etc, cannot be seen without leaning over the keyboard because they’re positioned behind the base of the high switches. pretty irritating as you can imagine. -MEDIA BUTTON. they media button below the wheel doesnt feel great (very hard press and not great quality. not that big of a deal worth mentioning. -WRIST REST. although, a nice addition, nice metallic attachment, and nice heavily rubberized coating making it as comfortable as a hard slab of plastic can be, matte rubber coating picks up marks like crazy. i dont get particularly sweaty hands but after using it for like 5 mins marks a visible and after a long night-time gaming session, i have to wipe it down and all. if you want to use a wrist rest though, its worth getting a nice one aswell. Conclusion: amazing all round keyboard, would spend twice as much for it. if it wasnt for the cons.

Great keyboard buttons are really nice to press and it gives you an app to make the keyboard colours to your liking and how you'd like them to light. Really cool feature for thr price I paid

Köpte detta för att jag behöver upplysta tangenter då jag ofta sitter vid datorn i mörker (och jag älskar de växlande färgerna). Dessutom har den ytterligare två perfekta funktioner för mig: en steglös rulltangent som man snabbt och exakt reglerar ljudet med, samt att tangenterna är tystare än normalt! Dessutom är den spillsäker, så om olyckan är framme och kaffekoppen välter så blir inte tangentbordet förstört! Skyddar dessutom mot damm och skräp. Det enda jag INTE gillar är att det är svårt att komma åt instruktioner och inställningar. Mycket krångligt - via webben, på engelska! - för någon som är okunnig i datorteknik! Vissa bokstäver finns heller inte markerade på svenska, men de finns i alla fall där fast med andra tecken på....

I always bought cheap keyboards and decided to go for a reliable brand this time. I love the feedback of the keys, i finally feel in control while gaming. It is quiet and also super comfortable and got a nice design too. So far nothing to complain about. I like that you can dim or remove the lights.

Die SteelSeries Apex 3 ist eine sehr gute Gaming-Tastatur, die alle Erwartungen erfüllt. Die 10-Zonen RGB-Beleuchtung ist sehr dekorativ und kann individuell angepasst werden. Die Premium-magnetische Handballenauflage ist sehr bequem und sorgt für eine gute Unterstützung während langen Spielstunden. Die Tasten haben eine gute Reaktionszeit und die Tippdämpfung ist sehr effektiv. Das deutsche QWERTZ-Layout ist sehr gut verarbeitet und die Tastatur macht insgesamt einen sehr soliden Eindruck. Die Verbindung via USB ist stabil und die Software zur Anpassung der Beleuchtung und der Tasten ist sehr benutzerfreundlich. Insgesamt bin ich sehr zufrieden mit dieser Tastatur und würde sie jedem empfehlen, der eine gute Gaming-Tastatur sucht. Die Preis-Leistung ist sehr gut und das Produkt ist sehr empfehlenswert.

Detta var en julklapp men mottagaren blev nöjd.

Bardzo dobra klawiatura, kilka razy zostala oblana i na razie dzielnie sie trzyma 😊 i do gier i do pracy
