The first thing that caught my attention about this keyboard is its sleek and modern design. The keyboard has a smooth matte finish, and the keys have a soft and comfortable feel when typing or gaming. It's also equipped with 10-zone RGB lighting, which allows you to customize the lighting effects and colors to your liking.
One of the standout features of the SteelSeries Apex 3 RGB Gaming Keyboard is its durability. The keyboard is built with a water-resistant design, which means that it can withstand accidental spills and splashes without damaging the keyboard's internal components. This feature provides a sense of security and peace of mind, especially for those who like to enjoy snacks or drinks while gaming.
The keyboard is also equipped with silent gaming switches that are rated for up to 20 million keypresses. These switches provide a satisfying tactile response while also remaining quiet, which is ideal for gaming environments where you don't want to disturb others.
Another notable feature of the SteelSeries Apex 3 RGB Gaming Keyboard is its dedicated media controls, which allow you to adjust the volume, play/pause, skip tracks, and mute the audio without having to leave your game. This feature is very convenient and allows you to easily manage your media while focusing on your game.
Overall, I would highly recommend the SteelSeries Apex 3 RGB Gaming Keyboard to anyone looking for a reliable and durable gaming keyboard that delivers great performance and customization options. With its water-resistant design, silent gaming switches, and dedicated media controls, it's definitely worth considering for your next gaming setup.

The material feels quite premium, and so is the detachable hand rest is really nice. The keys are just right (not too hard, not too soft) to press and are fairly quiet. The software also allows some key customisation.
A few things I wish were better;
- the caps lock indicator light is very small, and located only on the top right corner, hard to see behind the keys. So if you toggle caps lock on and off frequently, it might be difficult to know if it's caps locked.
- the RGB lights are zonal and you cannot assign individual key colours. But for the price, I wouldn't complain about it.
Overall, I'm happy with my purchase.
