Model overview based on user reviews  
The SteelSeries Apex 3 is a reliable and well-designed gaming keyboard that offers several appealing features for its price range. It boasts water resistance, a removable wrist rest, and a volume control wheel, making it both functional and convenient for gamers. The keyboard features quiet membrane keys and ten customizable backlight zones, although some users note it could be quieter and would prefer individual key backlighting. The high-quality plastic buttons are durable and pleasant to use, though the soft-touch palm rest may wear over time. Despite the shorter lifespan of membrane switches compared to mechanical ones, the Apex 3 is praised for its quiet operation and stylish design, making it a solid choice for gamers seeking a budget-friendly yet feature-rich keyboard.

Good keyboard
2 August 2021 
Standard keyboard in a modern design, not loud, stylish. I had a similar one from their economy segment, just with backlighting, but here the backlighting consists of ten zones that you can configure yourself. The buttons are pleasant to the touch and easy to press. There is a multimedia control button, which I rarely use. The power cord can be routed left or right as desired. Three months, normal flight.
Backlight, high-quality plastic buttons that look like metal, moisture protection
Soft-touch palm rest will wear out over time

great model, I really liked it

if you need a “quiet” keyboard, then this is it. I was looking for something quiet like a laptop, and they recommended just such a model. Yes, quiet, comfortable, protected from splashing water and with pleasant tactile plastic. The roller button for volume control adds satisfaction to use. The skeleton-type design really appeals to me. In summary, we can say that I made the right decision in buying such a keyboard, and I think it will withstand my type of game in the “hard” style.
membrane keyboard with quiet keys, ten backlight zones, very high quality plastic
the resource of switches on the keys is shorter than that of mechanics

A good budget keyboard, if not the best in its price segment. I do not recommend opting for cheaper options from unknown companies. The keyboard is marketed as silent, but that is not the case; it is quite noisy, so keep that in mind if you are looking for a silent keyboard. I only have an English keyboard layout because I specifically wanted that, and I found it in one of the stores. In many games, I have achieved quite good results, so I can recommend it.

I would like it to be even quieter. And I would like backlighting for each key.

A++ level gaming membrane

In 2020, the skilled Danes from SteelSeries have completely updated their range of keyboards, releasing a whole scattering of various models of the Apex line. By tradition, the devices turned out to be of high quality, interesting and expensive. For example, the Apex 3 that fell into our hands is a classic full-size membrane that costs about $100 and is in fact in the big leagues, but at the same time is the youngest model in the updated Apex family.

Whisper Quiet switches feel vaguely Cherry Red

Apart from the overall high level of performance, the coolness of Apex 3 is manifested in a bunch of little things that you don't pay attention to at first. SteelSeries is one of the few companies that lists switch models not only for mechanical keyboards, but also for membrane keyboards. In this case, Whisper Quiet switches are used, which feel vaguely reminiscent of classic Cherry Red. The stabilization of the caps is excellent, it is difficult to accidentally miss them. Responsiveness and tactile feedback are also very good, it is comfortable to play even after familiar mechanics. It's only inconvenient that the left Shift was shortened. I also liked the zonal backlighting of the keys, which not only shines with all the colours of the rainbow, but also performs a functional role - it can signal received messages in Discord or a critical state of health in the game.

Convenient removable stand with magnetic latches

Visually, SteelSeries Apex 3 looks interesting. There is nothing unusual about the high black keycaps, but the white base under the keys looks at least unusual. To control the audio-video player, there is a dedicated volume wheel and a general multimedia button. For brushes, a removable stand with magnetic latches is provided. Drainage holes are located along the bottom to drain accidentally trapped moisture. Add the excellent SteelSeries Engine 3 software for macros, gaming profiles and backlighting to this list and you have one of the most comfortable, thoughtful and functional membrane keyboards in years. Yes, the price is too high, there are enough competitors even among mechanical models, but it is very problematic to find such a set of characteristics. The only thing that comes to mind is the Razer Cynosa V2.
