Q: Is this keyboard able to be used on Xbox?

submitted by Marek - 7 months ago
  • A: Hi Marek, thanks for reaching out about SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL Wired Gaming Keyboard for PC. The SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL Wired Gaming Keyboard is primarily designed for use with PCs. Limited Xbox Compatibility: While some keyboards may have basic functionality on Xbox consoles, the Apex 3 TKL's specific features and software integration might not be fully supported. Key Considerations: Software Limitations: The SteelSeries GG software, used for customizing lighting and other features, might not be fully compatible with Xbox consoles. Macro Keys: Macro keys, which allow for complex key combinations with a single button press, may not function as intended on Xbox. Recommendation: For the best Xbox gaming experience, it's recommended to use a keyboard specifically designed for Xbox consoles. These keyboards are optimized for Xbox functionality and often include features like dedicated Xbox buttons. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Is this a 60% keyboard or a full size keyboard?

submitted by Ab - 8 months ago
  • A: Hi Ab, thanks for reaching out about SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL Wired Gaming Keyboard for PC No, this SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL is not a 60% keyboard. The "TKL" in its name stands for "TenKeyLess." TKL (TenKeyLess): This layout removes the numeric keypad (the "ten keys" that are gone), but retains the function row (F1-F12) and the navigation cluster (arrow keys, Insert, Delete, etc.). It's a slightly smaller version of a full-size keyboard. 60%: This layout is even smaller than TKL, removing not only the numpad but also the function row and navigation cluster. These missing keys are accessed through function layers. The SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL offers a good balance between compactness and functionality. It's smaller than a full-size but still has dedicated function and navigation keys, unlike a 60% keyboard. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

It compact, it is quiet and I appreciate that it’s dust and water resistant. Not only good for gaming but for everyday use as well.

Ultra Quiet Keyboard

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are looking for a great gaming keyboard that won't make a lot of noise, this is it. The keys are incredibly soft and whisper-quiet, perfect for late-night gaming without bothering anyone. They're also responsive enough for any competitive game. One of my favorite features is the on-the-fly macro recording. I can just hold the function and F10 keys to start recording, which makes creating custom binds super easy. The keyboard also has dedicated keys to adjust the illumination brightness, which is great because the bright neon colors sync lighting looks amazing. I'm also impressed by how durable it is. It's both water and dust resistant, so I don't have to worry about accidental spills. For connectivity, it's a breeze-just plug it into my PC, Mac, PlayStation, or Xbox with the USB cable. The dedicated multimedia controls for pause, skip, and rewind are a nice touch too. Overall, this keyboard is a great choice for gaming and esports. It has all the key features you need in a sturdy, quiet, and user-friendly package

Quiet and pleasant to write - very comfortable to work and play video games. Perfect for me as Dad gamer and Twitch streamer. Solid build and water resistance another good thing for this keyboard. Compact TKL layout – the lack of a numpad frees up desk space and makes mouse movement easier. Programmable keys and macros – almost every key can be remapped or assigned macros using the software.

Awesome Silent Keyboard - Unexpected Software LAGs

I bought this keyboard as I'd wanted to have a more silent keyboard at the cubicle in the office that is like my steelseries apex pro at home. Sadly the Macros on this keyboard do not support the meta keys - where's the point in having a meta key at all? I'm used to a lot of macros and they simply do not work with this keyboard (like with any other keyboard).

Product works as advertised. I’ve been enjoying the armrest and the flexibility that it being detachable provides. The key caps aren’t remove able so cleaning it will be more difficult than other keyboards with removable caps, but it’s a welcome upgrade from my Apex 150.

I have had this keyboard for a few weeks and I must say i really enjoy it. Before i have had blue switches which were kinda annoying at night but this keyboard really fixed the noise. Also I love the implementation with the Steelseries engine, which provides many more functionalities like remapping key ect. Also the illumination coverage on the keyboard is great. The only 2 downsides i would say are it feels more like an older keyboard because of the membrane and also you cannot change the keycaps which is a little disappointing but not a big Factor. I would still recommend this keyboard to a normal consumer who doesn't care about keycaps and just want more functionality for a low price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This keyboard was pretty nice! The keys felt really good and they weren’t as loud as the keyboard I have now. This was a pleasant surprise! I also feel like it’s a quality keyboard. The only things I didn’t like was there wasn’t a number pad and it’s not wireless. I prefer wireless keyboards for ease of use and less wires.

This is pretty important to me because I cannot stand the constant clicking noise on the keyboard. Versatile. Used it on different machines with no problems. Bonus points for the cute lighting in the dark.
