5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Much Perfect.
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2024
I love everything about it. I can't get into my BIOS with the delete key, but neither could my other keyboard except once on accident. So clearly the problem lies elsewhere. But thats irrelevant.

I love membrane keyboards now. I'd always heard they felt bad. But they feel and sound great too me. Obviously a preference thing. It's much quieter than my mechanical keyboard, and that was the entire point in me getting the keyboard. So that's great. I can press these keys as fast I want without breaking the sound barrier!

I love having a full keyboard. Used to have a 60%. The extra keybinds are great. Feels super responsive in my experience. No complaints. The media wheel is pretty fun to play with. Just don't accidentally blow out your eardrums by maxing the volume and forgetting it. The rgb isn't bright enough without flashbanging you. Nice weight. Feels like a solid keyboard. Material feels great. Magnetic wrist rest is awesome. I love it. I wish it was a little stronger of a connection, but it's perfectly fine. No complaints.

Can't speak for software because I'm on Linux.

As someone who spends a lot of time gaming, I tried the SteelSeries Apex 3 RGB Gaming Keyboard, and I must say, I am very impressed with its features and performance.

The first thing that caught my attention about this keyboard is its sleek and modern design. The keyboard has a smooth matte finish, and the keys have a soft and comfortable feel when typing or gaming. It's also equipped with 10-zone RGB lighting, which allows you to customize the lighting effects and colors to your liking.

One of the standout features of the SteelSeries Apex 3 RGB Gaming Keyboard is its durability. The keyboard is built with a water-resistant design, which means that it can withstand accidental spills and splashes without damaging the keyboard's internal components. This feature provides a sense of security and peace of mind, especially for those who like to enjoy snacks or drinks while gaming.

The keyboard is also equipped with silent gaming switches that are rated for up to 20 million keypresses. These switches provide a satisfying tactile response while also remaining quiet, which is ideal for gaming environments where you don't want to disturb others.

Another notable feature of the SteelSeries Apex 3 RGB Gaming Keyboard is its dedicated media controls, which allow you to adjust the volume, play/pause, skip tracks, and mute the audio without having to leave your game. This feature is very convenient and allows you to easily manage your media while focusing on your game.

Overall, I would highly recommend the SteelSeries Apex 3 RGB Gaming Keyboard to anyone looking for a reliable and durable gaming keyboard that delivers great performance and customization options. With its water-resistant design, silent gaming switches, and dedicated media controls, it's definitely worth considering for your next gaming setup.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't want a loud keyboard? You want this....

I have been using the same Logitech wireless keyboard for somewhere around 12 years. My 8 month old has decided that it is very fun to play with that one. So I was in the market for a much needed upgrade and replacement.
PROS: The keys have good travel and are, more importantly, not crazy loud. They do have an soft click to them that is satisfying for use typing or playing games but without the click is dampened to the point that, if you wish to type quietly, this is possible by just not pressing so hard. When you are putting alittle more force into the typing, say something intense is happening in your game, they are audible and clear.
The keys and wrist rest are made of a very finely textured soft touch plastic, while the body is made of harder plastic. This offers stiffer construction so the board does not flex at all under normal use, while being easy on the hands to use for extended periods of time.
RGB is bright and adjustable via the SteelSeries GG application which will sync the lighting to all SteelSeries devices if you so wish to. I use a Rival 3 mouse which has an illuminated scroll wheel RGB. Colors between the two match perfectly.
The media controls are very handy. By default the wheel rolls to change volume and clicks in to mute while the button acts as play/pause.
Key brightness can be controlled by pressing the SteelSeries key (located to the left of the right CTRL key and then pressing F11 or F12 for down and up respectively. There are 10 levels of brightness.

CONS: It does not have a wireless which is ok but is something to note.
The play/pause media button is illuminated and does not change from white.
To be expected at this price point the RGB is sectioned equally off to 10 vertical zones.
When the backlight is not on they keys are very hard to see.

Overall this keyboard checks all the boxes for an all around winner. Soft on the hands. Quality construction. Enough RGB to please everyone but the most extreme RGB heads. Media controls are quick and easy to get to.
I will be sending one of these to my buddy who is in need of an upgrade also.
