Full-size membrane gaming keyboard

The SteelSeries Apex 3 64795 is a full-size membrane keyboard built for gamers who want quiet operation and spill protection. It connects via USB 2.0 and works with Windows and Mac OS X. A detachable magnetic wrist rest and dedicated multimedia controls add comfort and convenience for long sessions.

10-zone RGB illumination and IP32 spill resistance

The keyboard offers 10-zone RGB illumination that reacts to games and Discord, providing colour customisation without per-key control. Its IP32 rating protects against accidental liquid spills, though it is not submersible. Whisper quiet switches are rated for over 20 million keypresses, giving a durable yet nearly silent typing experience.

Rubber dome tactile switches for quiet play

The key switch uses a rubber dome mechanism with a tactile feel, not a mechanical design, so actuation is soft and quiet. Buyers who want the crisp snap and distinct actuation point of mechanical switches should look elsewhere. This board suits users who prioritise silence and spill safety over mechanical feedback.

Questions about this item

Will the Apex 3's USB 2.0 connection work reliably alongside my older USB 2.0 peripherals on the same hub?

Yes, the keyboard uses a standard USB 2.0 interface and draws normal power, so it will not saturate bandwidth or cause conflicts with other USB 2.0 devices on the same hub.

How can I verify the 10-zone RGB illumination and whisper quiet switches are functioning correctly after plugging it in?

Press several keys to confirm the tactile, near-silent feel and watch for lighting across all ten zones; then open SteelSeries Engine 3.15+ on Windows 7+ or macOS 10.11+ to customise effects and test each zone individually.

Does the box include the magnetic wrist rest and are any extra cables or adapters required for setup?

The package contains the Apex 3 keyboard and the detachable magnetic wrist rest; no additional cables or adapters are needed — just plug the attached USB 2.0 cable into a free port.
