The keyboard lights make seeing specific keys easier

The keyboard works great. My mother was having trouble seeing and identifying the keys on her old keyboard. She can see the keys great with this new keyboard. The keyboard lets you program your colors and the pattern you like. It also lets you chose different sections for specific colors. I'm pleased with this purchase and I would buy it again.

Truly whisper quiet

For a non-mechanical keyboard, it has a great feel and lives up to the name whisper quiet. The RGB lighting is satisfying and easy to control. I find myself using and enjoying the attachable wrist support more than I expected.

Good keyboard when on-sale

Only complaint is you can't really see the caps-lock and few other light indicators since they're blocked by the number-pad key caps.

It's good for the price.

It's a nice keyboard with soft touch finish, but the interface to set the colors is not easy to use. And it has been glitchy and the keys stop working. You need to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to work again.

Be cool with a light up board

I really enjoyed this keyboard. It is pretty sturdy, chunky, and big. I find that it gives an ease to using it when it's like that. The lights are nice, they aren't distracting but very vibrant. I found out that the keyboard is also magnetic which is really cool. I would definitely buy again. I like how it was easy to set up, you literally just plug it in. The keyboard is easy to use. The keys don't make too much noise when pressed on.

Quality keyboard with solid feel

Surprisingly nice feel and quality for the price. Easy to adjust backlighting color with the downloaded software, and once the color is set it retains it without reloading the software each reboot.

Decent keyboard

Decent keyboard overall, feels good to use and doesn't make too much noise. Two complaints so far: - It's difficult to see whether or not caps lock/scroll lock is enabled due to the keys blocking your view - There's some key rollover that causes it to miss inputs occasionally when typing too fast. It doesn't seem to affect the kind of inputs you'd normally use in a video game though.

Nice Keyboard for the price. The operation is smooth, lights are vibrant, and it looks nice. I like the low profile, it is not super bulky like some gaming keyboards can be.

Great keyboard for the price

Good Illuminated SteelSeries Apex 3 Keyboard

Really like the illuminated SteelSeries Apex 3 Keyboard with the exception of the number/special character keys. For whatever reason, for those keys the number is at the top of the key & the special character is at the bottom. This is contrary to all other keyboards I've ever used, so this is the reason to take one star away from my review. Guess I'll have to get use to it. : I do like the ability to change the illumination brightness & color. You must install the SteelSeries app in order to configure colors. Brightness can be adjusted from keyboard. Overall, this is a real nice keyboard.

3 weeks in

The keyboard works as advertised and is definitely quiet. There is RGB lighting, but I'm not really into that sort of "bling". I purchased for the dust/water resistances mainly.
