This keyboard is a heavy duty machine! Not the highway grade but definitely sturdy for every day use. I was using a cheaper Corsair and this is the slight upgrade to that. I am happy with the purchase.

Didnt need to spend an obscene amount kf money for a quality key board, not too loud either.

Easy to customize, comfortable, and satisfying in the right ways.

The SteelSeries Apex 3 is a full-size wired gaming keyboard featuring membrane switches with whisper-quiet operation. It offers a spill-resistant design and customizable RGB lighting. While the membrane switches might not provide the tactile feedback of mechanical ones, they make for a quieter typing experience. The inclusion of dedicated media controls and a magnetic wrist rest adds to the overall comfort and functionality. It’s a solid choice for gamers seeking a quieter option without sacrificing essential features.

My kids loved it, but it’s still not perfect for gamers, you have to take times learn and usually with it.

The keys have really good action and the lights are nice!
DianneM –
I feel pressured to respond. I don’t think you should pressure people to comment and the attach it to a claim that you can win something. I don’t believe it.

Needed a wired lighted keyboard, and found this on the shelf. Does a fine job and to my surprise it has a volume mute wheel. My previous keyboard was non-wired and I couldn’t keep up with the batteries it used.
Bsheep –
Love the backlit keyboard! The caps lock is a different style, but I adapted quickly. Keys are very quiet. I have not used the macro fubctions. Great features at a great price!

The SteelSeries Apex 3 keyboard is designed for ease of use with a membrane switch layout. It features customizable RGB lighting, allowing you to personalize the color aspect according to your preferences. The RGB lighting can be adjusted through the SteelSeries Engine software.

Recently bought this and already highly recommend this. The keys feel great when you type. The lighting can be adjusted to many options for colors. Functions perfectly and seems very well made. I love the magnetic arm rest it comes with. Holds well and feels comfortable. Highly recommend.

The SteelSeries Apex 3 is a testament to the idea that you don’t have to break the bank to get a quality gaming keyboard. After weeks of testing, I can confidently say that this keyboard punches well above its weight class in terms of features and performance, especially considering its price point.
First off, the build quality is surprisingly robust for a budget keyboard. The frame is sturdy, and there’s a reassuring weight to it that I didn’t expect. It feels like it can withstand the rigors of intense gaming sessions, which is a big plus in my book.
One of the standout features of the Apex 3 is its IP32 water resistance. Accidental spills during frenzied gaming sessions or while working can happen to anyone, and this feature adds a layer of practicality and durability.
The keys themselves are membrane, not mechanical, but they have a nice tactile feel to them. There’s a satisfying ‘thud’ with each press, and the key travel is just right – not too shallow, not too deep. The whisper-quiet keys are a boon, especially if you share your space with others or stream your games.
The customizable RGB lighting is another highlight. It’s bright, vibrant, and easily adjustable with the SteelSeries Engine software, which is intuitive and user-friendly. The dynamic reactive lighting effects add a touch of flair to your gaming setup.
The dedicated multimedia controls are a great convenience, allowing for easy adjustment of volume and media playback without interrupting your game or work. The inclusion of a wrist rest is another thoughtful touch, enhancing comfort during long usage sessions.
On the downside, the absence of mechanical switches might be a dealbreaker for some enthusiasts, but for its price, the performance of the Apex 3 is more than adequate.
In summary, the SteelSeries Apex 3 is an excellent choice for gamers and general users looking for an affordable yet feature-rich keyboard. It offers a great balance of performance, durability, and aesthetics. If you’re on a budget but don’t want to compromise too much on quality, the Apex 3 should definitely be on your radar.

works well. ergo dynamic. colorful. nice touch. colorful
LORI –
I bought this because I like the keys. it was easy to press and soft. I gave it a 4 star because i wish it had the option to turn off the backlight when it is not in use. I had to unplug everytime I was done or have to shut off the computer. I would buy they will have a wireless one.
Alex –
Not really a PC gamer so i just needed a cool enough keyboard and this one delivers! Its pretty quite which js what i wanted in comparison to clicky mechanical keyboards and the rgb looks better in person than in photos. Really like the range of colors too. Its minimal and gets the job done and for the price its overall very good, even as a starter keyboard as it comes with the wrist support too. The only downside is more obvious due to the color and will he on any matter black keyboard but its a findgerorint magnet, especially on the wrist support

I love this keyboard! I bought a SteelSeries Apex Pro Full Sized Wired OmniPoint keyboard back in 2020. It did great! For one quarter the price, I like this keyboard much more. The keys aren’t as raised off the base; shorter buttons which makes tipping with long girly nails much more enjoyable and comfortable. Clicking is smoother and the colors are stunning pastel rainbows. It doesn’t have the full custom color capability as the Apex Pro, but that doesn’t bother me. I use both keyboards every day, the Apex Pro is outside in my office but I prefer this Apex 3 keyboard inside more.
