As a Keyboard snob and a very hard keyboard user, I really like this keyboard and this company overall. It has a nice break for each key and while the typing is not whisper quiet, it is much less than a cherry red mechanical. I can touch type easily and quickly as everything is where it should be. I also have a older Apex 5 keyboard with the Cherry Brown keys I believe - great keyboard as well, but noisy. I think this Apex 3 is superior in feel and typeability. I have never used the wrist rest before on any keyboards due to my very large hands, but this time I gave it a go, and it really improved the overall feel through my wrists. I am now a believer in the hard smooth angled wrist rests One thing I really like about this keyboard is that you can get the white LEDs pretty bright so that I can program without overhead lighting and never not see the keys - it is bright enough and it looks legit while being bright. I am too old for the RGB effects, just give me bright white keys! On my Apex 5, I wore the keys to a high shine and it still hasn't missed a beat. Steel series knows how to put out a extremely useable, high quality product every time. I have had virtually all the big names keyboards and they all have their charms, but for reliability and quality, none has surpassed this manufacturer in my experience, although some have equaled it. From a dollars and cents standpoint - this is a excellent value!

I’ve been using this keyboard for a few months now, and it’s easily the best value for under $50. If you’re like me and share a room or game late at night, the "Whisper Quiet" switches are a lifesaver. You get a nice tactile bump without waking up the whole house.

Extremely solid keyboard, works really well. The RGB is smooth and blends well with the overall product.

The media could not be loaded. I have been a fan of Steel Series for quite a while now and this keyboard did not disappoint! The construction of this keyboard is fantastic. It has a durable metal case that feels extremely sturdy and has a very nice weight. The included wrist rest is magnetic, and the magnets are strong enough to keep it in place without worrying about knocking it off by just moving around. The keystrokes feel really nice and responsive for both gaming and general use, and overall this a very comfortable and satisfying keyboard to use on a daily basis. The RGB lights are also a very nice touch, and the Steel Series software is very easy to use and provides great customization options to get the look and feel you need. You can also use programs like SignalRGB and OpenRGB to control the lights if you prefer. For the price of this keyboard, I am pretty blown away by how good the quality is. This is an awesome all-around keyboard at a great price, and I'd definitely recommend it. I bought mine for my gaming rig and I'm seriously considering buying a second one for my workstation! 😄

UPDATE: 1/10/24 - Long term comment here - I love this keyboard, buying one for my wife now... It has been working flawlessly for over 1 year now without a single hiccup and gaming every night!! Originally purchased Nov '22 - I highly recommend this product! ************************************************** I am not easily impressed and i am not one who would normally spend $50 on a keyboard... This is my first product from Steel Series Let me just get this 1 Major Negative out of the way first. This prevented a 5-star review that i nearly never give <sigh> 1. The default light pattern is RGB and you have little control out of the box, at best you can control the speed at which the color changed across the zones. Quick google search said you need to install the OEM software to get more control over the colors. Hmm, i wasn't pleased about that but so be it, a lot of OEMs do it and its just more crap running on your pc to slow it down.. 2. Software installed was 270MB, pretty darn big TBH, It installed tons of irrelevant stuff for products i do not own.. This could certainly have been done better. 3. YOU MUST CREATE AN ACCOUNT with Steel Series to change anything about your product!!!! WHY??? Just another account username and password to track just so i can set a static color??? **On the bright side, the control software Does Not need to run to keep your color settings, i do suspect if you use the other feature the software provides then you may have to have the software running in the background. OK, that is the ONLY gripe i have so far, Tempted to give a 3- star but that would be me placing too much weight on something that really annoys me and not fair to this product. So, What is good about this item? Taking the software issue out of the equation, it would be a 5 star product for sure. The only thing that would make it better is a lower price. I had just a few simple requirements for my keyboard and this fits perfectly. - Quiet - I hate the clackity clack typing sound especially when gaming - Backlit - I hate RGB and rolling RGB on a keyboard, i find it distracting. I like a nice soft glow to illuminate the keys so i can see the letters in the dark. I used to use blue or purple but have settled on red these past few years. - Compact, but full keyboard layout (108 keys?) - I hate big @$$ keyboards with tons of buttons, switches and misc. macro keys. Yes they have their purpose and are useful to some people, guess I'm getting old an traditional. - Durability - Who doesn't want that??? Side note, Ergonomics IMHO is a personal preference but i kind of feel like the buttons are too high against the base but the keypresses are solid and actuation defined like when pulling the trigger on a quality firearm, you barely feel the slack being taken up and the you get a crisp break of the trigger. Very light keys with positive stroke, it's just good, end of story. All boxes checked with this keyboard - Durability TBD but it feels pretty solid so far. Backlight can be very dim or resemble the surface of the sun (not quite but it is bright). I know they call it "Steel Series" but this thing as some weight to it, it's not heavy but it is clearly not just a block of super thin/cheap plastic.. I have not thoroughly explored the software capability but a brief romp around the menu's looks to be extremely inclusive and a similar type ecosystem to Corsair's iCue ecosystem which allows the software to interface and control all aspects of the OEM's product line. I found a lack of details or explanations for some of the features but not to terrible, most options are pretty straight forward. I believe in HONEST reviews and this has been my honest review that i almost didn't do but morally i have to give credit to Steel Series on a good product, they earned that much especially since this is the first product of theirs i have ever purchased.

I bought this after getting tired of my other loud, thwacky blue-switch mechanical keyboard. Love it so far. It really is a super quiet keyboard that is still very satisfying to type on. The magnetic wrist rest that it comes with is also really nice and improves the experience even more. I'd definitely recommend this.

I can enthusiastically recommend this keyboard. It feels good to type on, it's well made, the palm rest is soft and comfortable and the keys have backlighting such that one can see the keycaps in dark conditions and type accurately. This is a well made product. I've had an Apex 3 TKL for about a year and it's been fantastic, and recently ordered the full version and am very happy with it. I attempted to look for a Mac compatible key caps set and was unable to find one. If Steelseries was ever to make any improvements I would love to see a set of key caps I could swap in for Mac keys.
