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

submitted by Marek - 6 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 - 7 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.

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.

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 review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice keyboard. Smooth keys. It looks durable enough. Makes very minimal to no noise at well when in use. 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually found a lot of things I liked about this keyboard You've got a control up at the top so you can raise and lower the audio very quickly and mute it You also have another button that you can use to play and stop shows I used it while I was watching Netflix and it worked very well. But I really like the keyboard because it's super responsive never missed a beat it has really cool lighting effects and it's very very quiet. I love the fact that you can have these buttons that you can set up it's compact it has cool lighting effects but I really love the quick access to the audio controls That's one of my favorite parts. But the lighting definitely works great in a dark space.

RGB is great and switches are quiet. Personally not a big fan of ten keyless keyboards but if you are in the market for an entry level one then I would say this is a solid choice especially for the value

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great looking keyboard. It suits my all white setup perfectly and the RGB is very bright. It feels durable but light. I do wish the power cable wasn’t connected as I like to be able to switch out my cords. As someone who uses mechanical keyboards, I personally wouldn’t use this, but if you’re not picky it’s a nice choice. Overall a solid keyboard for everyday use and gaming.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was such a fun box to open! Plugging it in was just as i was hoping it would be as well; completely beautiful. The lights are just as great as you’d think. If you’re worried they might be too bright, you can adjust them down which is a huge plus. I was surprised at some of the settings it had like being able to adjust volume with a wheel on one of the corners. Typing is very comfortable and sound of the keys isn’t too loud (or too soft). Pretty standard of what you’d expect. Overall really pleased with it. And so fun to look at :3

Great media controls, but the lack of a number pad

kimberlym697_5409 - 8 months ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm quite pleased with it. The media controls are a standout feature for me. They are incredibly convenient, allowing me to easily adjust volume, skip tracks, and pause/play without having to leave my game or application. The tactile feel of the keys is also satisfying, and the keyboard's sleek white design looks great on my desk. However, I do miss having a number pad. As someone who frequently uses numerical input for work and gaming, the absence of a number pad is noticeable. It’s a trade-off for the compact size, which is great for saving desk space, but I find myself reaching for a separate number pad more often than I’d like. Despite this, the keyboard's performance and features make it a solid choice.
