SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL Review

The SteelSeries Apex 3 sheds some bulk and arrives in the increasingly popular TKL form, but how does it stack up against the competition?...

+ Great build quality + Bright, vibrant RGB lighting + Lovely keyswitch actuation + Reasonably priced

- Very uncomfortable without a wrist rest - No print screen button

The TKL keyboard certainly is popular amongst gamers these days, and there are some big trade-offs but these are outweighed by the advantages of the smaller form-factor. The Apex 3 TKL, however, probably doesn’t do enough to maintain that balance.

SteelSeries Apex 3 Review

The focus is often put onto expensive keyboards boasting many superfluous features that often add cost more than usefulness. Today we're looking at something which gets back down to the basics, the A...

+ Incredible performance for the money + Rubber dome keys feel really nice + RGB lighting + Media controls + Including wrist rest + Good build quality + Great SteelSeries Engine 3 software

- Software lacks preset RGB lighting effects - Delay on the play/pause button

SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL Review: A Budget Keyboard Worth Giving a Chance

Budget gaming keyboards can be iffy, to say the least. Walking the tightrope between affordability and quality is a tricky thing, and one of them usually winds up being left behind. The Apex 3, however, manages to balance both elegantly.

Nice rubber-dome switches ; Solid hardware ; Water resistance ; Good RGB lighting and features

Software's lackluster

SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL Review: Can Do More Than Most for Less

Water-resistant, media keys and only $45

+ Adjustable feet ; + Affordable ; + Dedicated media keys ; + Silent switches ; + User-friendly software

- Cable isn’t detachable ; - No per-key RGB ; - Too lightweight

SteelSeries’ new Apex 3 TKL is waterproof, quiet and unlike any other keyboard that I have used at this low of a price. It easily does more than most other $45 gaming keyboards.

SteelSeries Apex 3 review

The SteelSeries Apex 3 will get the job done, but a cheap office keyboard would serve almost as well.

instead, that'd be my primary recommendation.

STEELSERIES Apex 3 Gaming Keyboard

Volume scroll, it may seem like a small thing but I absolutely love this feature. Keyboard feels great when using it and not had any issues.

STEELSERIES Apex 3 Gaming Keyboard

Well built quality and intuitive design. Like most Steel series products, they make great high quality products which work and perform well.

The typing experience could be improved a little. I am aware that this is not a mechanical keyboard, but the typing experience does not feel "premium".
