Off the bat, the SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL Keyboard is a sturdy and attractive peripheral, with LEDs that can display up to 16.8 million different colors. Finally, you have five rubberized feet on the bottom, with the two rear feet allowing you to adjust keyboard tilting. This allows you much flexibility in controlling how you want to arrange the cabling coming from the keyboard. Peaking under the SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL’s metal frame, you have three-way cable routing. Single presses control play and pause, double-presses trigger a “Next Track”, and triple-presses trigger a “Previous Track”. The media controller button works like the single controller button found in many headsets today. The wheel handles master volume while the nearby black button acts as a media controller. Going deeper, you have dedicated media keys in the upper right of the keyboard. These keys as well as the keyboard’s LEDs are all configurable via the SteelSeries Engine, an app within the free SteelSeries GG software. The six keys above the arrow keys, double as programmable macro keys. The right side of the keyboard is as you would expect with a TKL keyboard, sans the numpad. Under those keys you have eight lighting zones powered by PrismSync lighting. The switches are built with a low friction material which allows the keys to remain as quiet while also combating key degradation. The SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL Keyboard’s Whisper-Quiet Switches tout a 20-million keypress lifespan. SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL Keyboard Specs Top Material
Let’s dive right into the SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL Keyboard, to see what the highly approachable price of only $44.99 gets you. Not only does this tenkeyless keyboard house SteelSeries’ Whisper-Quiet Switches, but it also sports IP32 water resistance while being priced at an eye-opening $44.99. As it turns out, SteelSeries recently released a quiet switch gaming keyboard of their own.
They not only allowed me to both work and play efficiently, but they also allowed me to do so without being a disturbance to my WFH girlfriend sitting behind me.
Strangely enough, gaming keyboards with quiet switches grew on me significantly. After a year plus with the pandemic, I gained an appreciation for peripherals that were both effective and accommodating for work from home setups.
