    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

    Perfectly good keyboard - I ended up returning it, but only because it was not what I was looking for. It was a bit too high-profile for me. Otherwise, the RGB lighting was great, the keyboard was neat, the keys were pretty quiet. I'd definitely recommend for someone who doesn't mind slightly taller keys. Especially at that price point, it was a great keyboard.

    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.

    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!

    It works well, but lighting isn't as expected

    Making assumptions usually doesn't end as one would hope. The keyboard works as described, the feel of the keys is better than I expected, and it lights up. What I didn't realize is that to get the keyboard to glow in one color took downloading a keyboard management program. I also assumed that if you weren't using the keyboard for awhile, it would power off the lights. Not so, you have to power off the computer or you can use two buttons simultaneously to dim the keyboard until it's dark. Also, the keys are raised and not outlined by other material, so light leaks out from around all of the keys and around the keyboard itself, so it's really noticeable when it's on, even from another room. So, it functions well, but did not meet my expectations when I searched for a backlit keyboard for my desktop.

    To begin I am not an expert at all in keyboards and I’m also just beginning to do pc gaming. The keyboard feels durable and the wrist rest thing is awesome and magnetic so if it’s not your thing you can remove it. As soon as it was plugged in I could download the app and edit my configuration which was easy to do as well. You can hear the clicking but it’s not obsessively loud and makes it fun to type. Overall for the price I believe it’s a good deal

    I bought this for a friend of mine and from what he’s told me, it’s a great keyboard! He had an older gaming keyboard that he used with his laptop, and since I recently built him a new PC, I thought it would be nice for him to have a new keyboard to go along with it. The overall feel of the keys are very nice and very responsive, I was almost jealous and almost got myself one after using it for a little while, while at his house Additionally, at the price point it’s currently at, it’s a bargain for the amount of performance it offers. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to get a new keyboard and have a lower budget.

    The keyboard has good tactile feedback and is pretty quite when typing. The backlight is nice and functional. No issues with ghosting or sticky keys. Comfortable to type on or game with.

    For the price and size its a really good keyboard. Keys never have any issues, they are relatively quiet. RGB is nice, not like the overly excessive ones. Wrist rest is useful and when I don't need it is just comes off. To summarize, its really worth the price.

    Works great! not distracting and the colors are fun. I had best buy points I wanted to use so I got this and I like it. Not a gamer, I just found it interesting to set the colors to change. happy with it, thinking about buying another one for my work office. Also, not too expensive. Put the word "gaming" on a keyboard and the price usually gets absurd.

    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.

    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

    We need better membrane keyboards by Steelseries

    Out of the box I wasn’t expecting much, boy was I surprised. This keyboard is INSANELY quiet, even when using it heavily during competitive gameplay. The wrist rest does get fingerprints easily which kind of sucks because it looks bad, but it works. The lights look incredible and the software is spot-on, my main complaint is that you can’t individually change the color of each key, it’s a bummer for me since I don’t like mechanical keyboards and I can’t seem to find a membrane steelseries keyboard where you can do this. Overall, good performance with ok visuals.
