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 specifically got this keyboard in place of a mechanical one because the keys would not be loud. It does the job. For some reason, pressing the esc key is particularly satisfying on this keyboard, I recommend it. The magnetic wrist rest feels really good and is a quality touch. Reasons it is only 4 stars: - No on board RGB profiles. You have to download software that will control it - The multimedia button is finicky. I have found that there is a knack to get it to pause/play. For some reason, next song and previous song seem to work more consistently. Having three dedicated buttons would be preferable.

My son is really into gaming, so I purchased several other brands of keyboards, but he didn't seem to like them. Finally, I decided to buy the SteelSeries Apex 3 Full Size Wired Membrane Whisper Quiet Switch Gaming Keyboard, which features 10-zone RGB backlighting in black. Now that I have this keyboard, all the complaints have stopped, and he is super happy with it.

Very solid keyboard. Feels very nice and while the wrist part is solid it's still pretty comfortable to use. Keys are nice and use membrane so there's no loud noise like with mechanical boards. If you're a sucker for RGB I'd go for newer Steelseries boards cause they do some crazy stuff but this is still a solid choice regardless

Curbside pickup was easy. Keyboard itself is well-built and has a good tactile feel. The wrist rest is comfortable although the magnets attaching it to the keyboard are a little week. It’s only a small issue if you Lift the keyboard often. The RGB lighting is bright and easy to customize. Overall great value.

Great most affordable keyboard also marches with my pc!

Love how silent and smooth the keyboard is the RGB just makes it 10x better

This works very well. It is sturdy and the backlit lights are nice. It is easy to use and the price is pretty hood. Especially when uou find it in sale.

This is my favorite keyboard to date. I've always been a mechanical keyboard guy and I've had about 6 in the past. I've gone through Cherry MX brown switches, red switches, red switches with O-rings dampners, and even silent red switches. They were all too loud. This keyboard feels as good as a mechanical keyboard without the noise. What sold me on this keyboard was the premium wrist rest. It's grippy and not cheap plastic. Looks amazing too.

Really great quality keyboard for the price. Keys feel good, rgb is solid and bright.

Not a single complaint about this. Writing the review on it right now, in fact. I wouldn't call it "whisper quiet" but it's satisfying to use and not in any way loud, especially compared to mechanical boards. I like how minimalist it is in terms of footprint while still having great features, like the easily detachable wrist rest (which is comfy!) and volume/media roller and key. RGB is colorful without distracting me (even though looking straight at it, I might describe the glow as "dull" rather than "vibrant" but I think that's a pro not a con). Would happily buy again.

Great keyboard, and I really like the old school clicky keys. Lights are an added bonus. Occasionally the LEDs go wonky with the lights, but a reboot of the computer it is connected to fixes it.

Tried a HyperX keyboard similar to this one and this is by far dramatically better. I have had mechanical keyboards. I don't care about how loud they get. I was always okay with that. And I never understand this whole need to be quiet thing people always point out. Mechanical keyboards are not that loud. And if no one around you wants to hear them, they can leave. Enjoy your mechanical keyboard if you have one, regardless of who hears it. But this specific keyboard has no flex in the middle like the HyperX, has an excellent palm rest pad that has strong magnets, the keys have a great coating on them that provides a non slip, almost grip like feel to them when typing. I literally feel as if my typing has gotten more accurate from the first minute I started typing. The lighting is okay. I have seen brighter but it is more than enough at this price. It has a volume wheel, and a button that allows pausing. For 50 bucks, it is incredible.

Bought this when my $200 Corsair keyboard bricked due to bios update (all done through Corsair's own software). This keyboard showed me I don't ever need to blow $200 on a keyboard again. Sure, if you must have some rainbow flavor fruit-tree style keys, custom molded caps and individually selectable lighting per key, go look for money to waste, but this one does what I want it to. Keys were a little stiff at first, compared to my bricked one, but they are quiet and I don't accidentally activate them just by resting my fingertip on one. Lighting is simple but pretty. Keyboard has a nice heft to it, solid aluminum base and very plain but effective arm rest. No USB pass-through at this price-point but I can live without it. Bonus: SteelSeries' control software had updated bios available the day I got it and it did NOT brick the keyboard! All-in-all, I'm glad I learned my lesson, and this keyboard is a sweet (affordable) consolation prize. Best Buy's free overnight shipping (from regional store to my door) was awesome, too!

Fantastic keyboard and fantastic lighting in the keyboard. Just awesome all around.

so far so good, had to replace another more expensive keyboard that had problems with the volume sporadically going up and down. This keyboard has been great. Definitely like the feel on the keys and the lighting is great.

Good keyboard. Bought this for my sons gaming PC and he absolutely loves it. It’s a good deal for the price. Comes with a wrist rest which is very important even for a kid, and it also lights up. Which will delight anyone who games, of all ages. For $50 pretty good deal

To start, I have never written a review for anything EVER. I have purchased a lot of keyboards over time, a few that were $150+. This keyboard is by far the best typing experience I’ve had. I was a little hesitant at first because of the silent switches but man they feel good. Every key has a great feel and the letters on each key are large and well placed. For less than $50, this tops every keyboard I’ve bought. I would’ve easily paid $150 for it. To each their own but I think just about everyone will love the look and feel of this one. Oh and did I mention it had a wrist rest included?

Had it for about a week got it for work because it's a quiet switch I don't even like the sound of keyboards clicking so why would I bother people around me at the office. The keys feel great and the response when typing is perfect. I'm thinking of buying 2 more just to have on hand for when this one breaks or if I have to use it as a weapon.

I recently moved to a new floor at work where the colleagues complained about the noise of typing. Being a fast typer, I was looking for an ergonomic and quiet keyboard to use for long hours without disturbing my colleagues. I came across a keyboard that had great reviews for being quiet, ergonomic and had some great features like backlights, a scrolling volume control knob and a magnetic wrist rest bar. Although I loved these features, it was not as quiet as I had hoped for an office setting that was only half-full. I wanted to rate it three stars for being louder than advertised, but because it's perfect for gamers and has a lot of great features, I gave it four stars. However, if you have a roommate, it may not be the best choice as it could keep them awake.
