Compact Tenkeyless Form

The SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL is a compact gaming keyboard that removes the numeric keypad to save desk space. Its tenkeyless layout allows wider mouse movement for competitive play. The board connects via USB and works with Windows, macOS, Xbox Series S/X, PS4 and PS5. Durable ABS construction supports long sessions.

Whisper Quiet Switches & IP32

The whisper-quiet switches suit gamers and typists who need low noise without losing tactile feedback. Anti-ghosting ensures every keystroke registers during fast combos. Eight-zone PrismSync RGB lets you customise lighting per zone. Buyers who require a full numpad or per-key RGB control should consider other models.

20 Million Press Durability

Switches are rated for over 20 million keypresses, giving ample headroom for daily gaming and work. IP32 water and dust resistance protects against minor spills and debris. The clickable metal volume roller and dedicated media keys handle audio on the fly. Heavy macro users may want software-driven per-key programming not offered here.

Questions about this item

What USB port does the keyboard need to work?

It connects via a standard USB port on your PC, Mac, Xbox Series S/X, PS4 or PS5.

Will the tenkeyless layout change how my existing macros or numpad shortcuts function?

The compact form factor removes the numpad entirely, so any macros or shortcuts bound to those keys will need to be remapped.

How can I confirm the 8-zone RGB illumination is active after plugging it in?

The keyboard will light up immediately with default effects; use the dedicated multimedia keys or SteelSeries software to adjust zones and brightness.
