Review on Keyboard SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL RU Black USB SteelSeries Whisper-Quiet, Black, Russian by Janis Skrindzevskis ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It functions perfectly, nothing unusual.

I gave this keyboard 3 points out of 5. The pros of the keyboard barely cover the cons, if not they are on an equal footing. Slightly disappointed. And I can't say that I recommend it to you. Only if you test it in the store to see if it suits you tactile. But even in this case, the game will still have a minus in the form of a curve for the application to adjust the backlight.

Pros
  • Compact keyboard, less noise than mechanics, but not that much. The backlight is pleasant due to the panel under the ons. There are also volume keys (I don't need them) and the ability to stop/resume media playback (I don't need them either).
Cons
  • - Height without stand is almost like my old Razer with stand. If you put it on legs, it becomes completely uncomfortable for the hands. Perhaps I'm not used to it yet, but so far it catches my eye. Those who like high keyboards will suit 100%; - You can't see the capsolca signal because of the high row of keys "Home", "Delete", etc. This is the most obvious drawback. It is not known why the manufacturer decided to place the capslock backlight in the most inconvenient place, instead of doing it, for example, on the key itself; - The backlight adjustment in the SteelSeries GG app is HORRIBLE. When it is completely closed, everything is reset, so you have to constantly keep the application open in the background. In addition, it is impossible to make the keyboard color monotonous, because the "Smooth" option as well as "Multicolored breath" do not work. I had to manually highlight each zone of the keyboard with one color in the "Color shift" option to get the desired result; - The sound volume control key and the ability to stop/resume media playback are located close to the high row, which is simply inconvenient, because you can easily catch "PgUp" or "Home"; - Price. For a membrane keyboard with a ty arrangement of capslock backlighting and a crooked application, this is at least a thousand higher.
