– SteelSeries Apex 3 Gaming Keyboard - Silent Keyboard, PC Keyboard with 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.

Great keyboard. Quick and easy set up without any fuss etc, pretty much plug and play.Wrist support is a boon. Makes life more comfortable, but as its magnets hold it on, easy to move away if required.The keys are very responsive and well lit, the media buttons handy for listening to music whilst gaming or working. The finish is nice quality. Personally I think it is great value for money and if your a gamer like me will find it very gamer-friendly

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.

It's exactly what to expect from a SteelSeries keyboard. Quality! It's very big and the RGB lights can be adjusted. The little scroll feature for volume in the top right corner is super fun too. It's functions perfectly and the layout is nice. Also, it's very quiet which is preferable to some. Being as heavy as it is, it doesn't slide anywhere when you use it.

Easy to set up. Smooth to use. Buttons sound nice when pressed and the colours are bright. Decent keyboard for the price. Sits nice on desk and stands are nice height.

Had for over 2 and a half years now, has not failed me in any way (except one, which is my fault and I'll get onto that later).Great design, the RGB lights work great, you can change the modes directly on the keyboard or you can use the Steelseries Engine to create your own custom RGB lights mode.The keys themselves are very high quality, sound great, and are very responsive (although I don't play many games that require millisecond-responses, so I can't tell you much about latency).The media controller in the top right is amazing, it has a button that you can use to pause/unpause, skip or go backwards, and it's relatively responsive. You also have a volume roller, which feels great to use, and you can press down on it to instantly mute.I've had this for a while now, and even though when I rage I slam my keyboard extremely hard, the actual keys have never broken. The only thing that's broken are the stands at the back, but I just put them back together with superglue.Issues? Well, the lights that tell you if Numlock, Capslock etc. are on are obscured by the keys, so I have to lean forwards to see them. Also, the wrist support is not the most comfortable wrist support of keyboards around this price range, but it's also not the worst. That's it for the issues.Overall, great keyboard! 9.5/10

Rock solid gaming keyboard for my teenage son. He immediately fell in love with it and the improvement in his competitive play. I use it for productivity and I love the positive click and feel of the stroke. The keyboard is sturdy and definitely of good build quality. It is heavier than a normal keyboard which helps it stay put during rigorous gaming. I loved it so much I bought the smaller variant for myself at work. RGB lights be dammed.

Stupenda. RGB, modding. L'unico neo, il layout inglese (esiste anche quello italiano, ma con questo ho sfruttato un'offerta). Silenziosa - ma non troppo - morbida al tatto, battitura fluida. Resistente all'acqua, Controlli multimediali dedicati per regolare facilmente il volume e i contenuti multimediali.

Żywotność klawiszy mocno zaniżona, po 6 msc zaczęły pękać mocowania

Fantastic quality. Great color and vibrant. Feels like a mechanical keyboard without the obnoxious clickety-klack that annoys your coworkers. Really happy with this purchase.

Du steel serie, donc excellent produit comme toujours.

Ennesima tastiera che vuole essere qualcosa che non è. L'illuminazione è zone, i tasti un feeling a membrana terribile, il tutto è plasticoso. Salvo solo il poggiapolsi che ha l'attacco magnetico. Evitatela che vi fate un favore, per prendere questa tanto vale andare su una rk che costa la metà.
