Review: Perfect keyboard for dark settings - 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!
Review: A lot for a little - Well its an amazing value for a quality Steelseies TKL Keyboard. Ive become very fond of it the more I use it. The keyboard is very well made. All of my keystroke activate precisely. No mistakes for missed or gently touched keys. This is one to keep in your arsenal. If you look at the prices for other SteelSeries gaming devices, there is a huge swing. I mean this amazingly good keyboard for around $30 to their others at $200. Im sure the technology is higher for their pro gaming products, you can feel and see some differences. I just dont have the coin to buy those higher priced devices! Im happy to own my steelseries TKL keyboard! The LEDs are beautiful and bright. They are highly customizable but Im happy with the rainbow scrolling. I have a steelseries I purchased. Its a win-win!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compact Powerhouse: The SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL White RGB Keyboard Revolutionized My Setup!
*by J***V on October 21, 2025*

I've been using the SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL White RGB Gaming Keyboard for a couple of weeks now, and it's hands-down the best compact board I've owned. The tenkeyless design frees up so much desk space for my mouse—perfect for my fast-paced FPS sessions in games like Valorant—without sacrificing any essential keys. The whisper-quiet gaming switches are a dream; they're responsive with that satisfying tactile click, but silent enough not to wake the house during late-night grinds. The 8-zone RGB illumination is stunning in white—customizable via SteelSeries Engine for everything from reactive waves to per-key programming that syncs with my other peripherals. Lighting looks crisp and vibrant without bleeding into the keys, and the matte white finish resists fingerprints beautifully. Durability is top-notch too; it's water and dust resistant, which saved me when I spilled some energy drink (no damage, just wiped it clean). Setup was plug-and-play with full N-key rollover for zero missed inputs, and the ABS keycaps feel premium. At this price, it's an unbeatable mix of comfort, performance, and style for gamers or typists who want compact excellence. If you're eyeing a TKL, grab this—it's transformed my productivity and playtime. Five stars!
