Compact tenkeyless gaming keyboard

The SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL 64831 is a wired membrane keyboard built for gamers and office users who want quiet tactile switches in a space-saving layout. Whisper Quiet rubber dome switches are rated for 20 million keystrokes and deliver near-silent operation. Eight-zone PrismSync RGB illumination provides 16.8 million colour options. The compact form factor leaves more room for mouse movement.

Check USB port and layout needs

This keyboard connects through a single USB 2.0 cable and requires an available Type-A port on the host system. The tenkeyless layout removes the numeric keypad, so verify that your workflow does not depend on dedicated number-pad keys. No palm rest is included in the package. Ensure your operating system supports standard HID keyboard input for full functionality.

Spill-resistant build with practical routing

An IP32 rating protects the internal circuitry from accidental splashes and dust ingress during daily use. Premium ABS keycaps resist wear from extended gaming or typing sessions. A clickable volume roller and dedicated multimedia controls sit at the top edge for quick access. Three-way cable routing channels let you direct the wire left, right or centre for a cleaner desk setup. Gaming-grade anti-ghosting covers 24 keys simultaneously.

Questions about this item

Does the SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL 64831 include a wrist rest or extra keycaps in the box?

The package contains the keyboard, a quick start guide and a product registration card. No palm rest or additional keycaps are supplied.

How do the Whisper Quiet switches and 8-zone PrismSync RGB differ from a full-size RGB model?

The tenkeyless layout removes the number pad for more mouse space while keeping the same 20 million keystroke switches and eight independently lit RGB zones.

What does the IP32 rating and 24-key anti-ghosting mean during a gaming session?

IP32 protects the internals from splashes and dust, and the 24-key rollover registers every simultaneous press in supported games.
