Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great keyboard, however, I wouldn't exactly call it "Whisper quiet." While it's not extremely loud, anyone in the same room can definitely hear you type and your microphone will definitely pick it up as well. The wrist guard is very nice -- it's magnetic and easily detachable if you want to not use it. It has a nice volume scroll wheel as well that have a nice tactile click as you roll it. You can use the software to change the RGB settings as well

The RGB lites are awesome and you just can't go wrong with a good mechanical keyboard I just love the sound

I love everything about this keyboard. The only thing that some may consider a drawback is the wired aspect of it, so please note that this is not wireless. I've never found a product by SteelSeries that I didnt love, and this keyboard is no exception. The keys are really soft and they feel nice under your fingertips. I also haven't noticed any sticking. This keyboard is kind of loud, so it might be good to keep that in mind if you're somebody who doesnt like the sound of loud typing. Luckily for me, it's one of my favorite sounds. The keyboard also comes with a magnetic wrist rest that attaches to the keyboard securely, so you dont have to worry about it sliding all over the place. It's also very comfortable. If you're looking for an RGB keyboard that's also affordable, I highly recommend this one.

Big upgrade from a classic work keyboard, light feature is nice and wrist pad is great.

For its price, this keyboard is an outstanding choice. The keys offer a satisfying tactile feel and provide solid feedback without being overly loud or "clicky." Customizing the RGB backlighting is straightforward thanks to the intuitive software, making it easy to personalize your setup. The media controls and macro keys are thoughtfully placed—convenient to use without being too prominent or distracting. Additionally, the magnetic wrist rest is a great feature: it stays securely in place when you need it but can be effortlessly removed when you prefer it out of the way.

My son loves his new keyboard, I know nothing about them but if he’s happy we’re good lol!!!

the steel series is dream to use and very colorful

Its the perfect size for all needs its also quiet so it wont bother anyone. The led is brite and vibrant. I would recon

If I could give this 4 and 1/2 stars I would. I have absolutely no complaints about the function of the keyboard aside from the lack of multimedia keys. Don't get me wrong, it's very easy to create macros and bind them, I just wish there were dedicated keys for multimedia functions. Keys feel great, very responsive, wrist rest is comfortable enough and the material is great. RGB is easy enough to program and the app for it is nice, especially at this price. Disclaimer: I do have larger hands and long fingers, I could see it being a bit of a challenge for someone with poor finger dexterity or smaller hands to use this keyboard for an extended period of time due to the height of the keys.

The Steelseries Apex 3 is one of the best budget keyboards out there. It has everything you could want in a keyboard. LED lights with different color combinations, volume sliders, magnetic wrist rest, and water resistance! Aspects like the wrist rest contribute to making this keyboard very comfortable to use. If you are one out there looking for a cheap, high-quality gaming, I highly recommend the Steelseries Apex 3 gaming keyboard.

This is my first steelseries keyboard and so far I am very impressed. I owned a Logitech G Series prior to this, and it felt cheap and unnecessarily big in comparison. Not only is the Apex 3 shaved down to only bordering the main keyboard, but you can disconnect the wrist rest in a moment with its innovative magnetic attachment. If I want to use it with my PS4/XBONE, I pull the rest off and I have a nice, small keyboard to transport downstairs. + responsive keys size ergonomics functionality (2 buttons to control all aspects of media play)

I love this keyboar, it is really quiet and the colors I have set to a spectrum of pink to purple. so pretty. I also bought the mouse as part of a set.

Pros: -Great value -Sturdy construction -Attractive RGB lighting -Software is easy to configure -Comfortable typing experience -Very quiet (great for not bothering coworkers) -Adjustable USB cable -Detachable wrist rest Cons: -Raised keys take some getting used to after using mostly low-profile keyboards

Fantastic keyboard! The membrane keys are great for quiet use while gaming and the diffused RGB lights make the keyboard look awesome!

This keyboard exceeded all my expectations! The keys are super responsive, perfect for both gaming and typing. The RGB lighting is vibrant and customizable, adding a nice touch to my desk setup. It feels durable and premium, and the wrist rest makes long sessions way more comfortable. Easily one of the best keyboards I’ve used!

Quiet and functional very nice. It lights up wonderfully. Whisper quiet abd on sale it was lol. I recommend this keyboard.

the keyboard wasn't too noisy and it was the right amount of softness when you press each of them. The volume roller is a nice design being away from conventional volume button. Color wise, you can set it on different brightness with 10 different sections where you can choose color. over all, I am okay with the keyboard and not wanting a higher specs keyboard for now as it serve its purpose why I bought it. Recommended? Yes!

I got this keyboard for because its lit up for my mom to see the keys. Also the sounds on the keyboard is very satisfying. I got the black keyboard and it has all the features she wants which is with a number pad onbthe side. It takes up like most of her desk space but she loves it. Good for the money.

Love the option to change the colors of the keys. Perfect sized keyboard, the keys feel nice and sturdy. The wrist rest attachment is a great extra feature, just needs to be setup in the right spot since it’s magnetic and can slide around a bit

I love this keyboard, especially that it comes with a wrist rest. It has a downloadable software to control many functions, I use it mainly for the color control lol. My son has this same keyboard in the smaller more gamer type version and he loves his as well. SteelSeries products are always a hit with my family, I'm sure you'll love it as well!
