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

submitted by Marek - 9 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 - 10 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.

    Shes a beauty!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this keyboard. I love how user friendly it is and how light the key strokes are. Typing has always been a passion of mine and it’s wonderful feeling when I can breeze through typing up my content or whatever I need to get done on the computer. My husband so graciously allowed me to use his computer until I can get my own. This is a very high quality keyboard. It really is quiet and the lighting is top notch! I can safely say I got to test the water resistance the first day. I by accidentally spilled champagne and had zero issues!

    Quiet Keyboard

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] @influenster @SteelSeries #complimentary #Apex3TKLAqua My son, who is a gamer, is loving the @SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL keyboard in the stunning Aqua color. It gives off a clean, minimalist look. The tenkeyless design saves a ton of desk space and features a whisper quiet keyboard without the loud, clacky noise, which is great for late-night sessions. It's also water and dust resistant, so a spilled drink isn't a disaster. To top it off, the customizable 10-zone RGB lighting lets him create a setup that's truly his own. It's a solid, quiet, and stylish keyboard! #SteelSeriesKeyboard #Keyboard #GamersKeyboard #Gamers #10key #Boys #teens #loveforgames #inelwoo #iceeresults

    Best keyboard

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL Aqua, and honestly it surprised me in the best way. Even though it’s a membrane keyboard, it doesn’t feel cheap at all—the keys are super quiet and smooth, which I love because I can game or type late at night without waking anyone up. The TKL design makes my desk feel less cluttered, and the RGB lighting (even though it’s zone-based, not per key) still looks so good with my setup. One of the biggest wins for me is that it’s water-resistant, so I don’t stress if I have my chai or coffee nearby. Of course, it’s not perfect—the keycaps feel a little slippery at times, and I do wish it came with a wrist rest. But for the price, this keyboard is honestly such a steal. It’s reliable, quiet, and compact, and for anyone who wants a budget-friendly option that still feels premium, I’d definitely recommend it.

    This is a steal for me!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Who else gets way too excited about a new gadget? Hehe, because I do! I’m in love with this SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL gaming keyboard (though I use it for my work most of the times)! It’s lightweight yet feels as good as a mechanical keyboard without all that noise. I absolutely love the look and feel of this keyboard. The quiet, smooth keys make it a pleasure to type and game on (I do play games sometimes). One of the biggest pluses is that it’s water and dust resistant, which gives me peace of mind since I’ve broken a keyboard before from a spill, this one feels like a miracle in comparison! The RGB lighting looks stunning, and the blue color especially makes it pop with a sleek, high tech vibe. One more thing, it connects via USB-A, so if you’re looking for USB-C, that’s something to note. Overall, SteelSeries really did a great job with this stylish, durable, and reliable!

    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
