SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL RGB Gaming Keyboard – Tenkeyless Compact Form Factor - 8-Zone RGB Illumination – IP32 Water & Dust Resistant – Whisper Quiet Gaming Switch – Gaming Grade Anti-Ghosting,Black

 

Layout & Form Factor

  • Tenkeyless (TKL) design removes the numpad, giving more mouse space and a closer, more ergonomic hand position for gaming and work.

  • Size is roughly 36 × 15 × 4 cm and about 640 g, so it is easy to reposition on the desk and reasonably portable.

Switches, Feel & Noise

  • Uses SteelSeries Whisper‑Quiet rubber‑dome switches rated for around 20 million keypresses, giving a soft, slightly “mushy” tactile bump but very low noise.

  • Anti‑ghosting is good enough for typical gaming inputs, and typing feel is stable with minimal key wobble, though latency is not ideal for ultra‑competitive esports.



Durability & Water Resistance

  • Rated IP32 for water and dust resistance, protecting against small spills and splashes, which is rare in this price range.

  • Plastic body but reported as solid with little flex, giving a durable feel for a budget board.

RGB & Controls

  • 8‑zone RGB backlighting (not per‑key) controlled via SteelSeries software, with effects that can react to games and apps.

  • Dedicated media keys plus a clickable volume roller let you adjust volume, skip, pause, and change brightness directly on the keyboard.



Compatibility & Best Use

  • Works with Windows, macOS, Xbox consoles, and PlayStation, making it flexible for multi‑platform setups.

  • Best suited if you want a quiet, spill‑resistant RGB gaming keyboard for casual/mid‑level gaming and everyday typing, not if you need mechanical switches and the absolute lowest input latency
