SteelSeries Apex 100 Gaming Keyboard - Tactile & Silent - Blue LED Backlit - Splash Resistant - Media Controls

Fully customizable. Deep keys that don't feel as mushy as other membrane keyboards. Realistically, I want an upgrade - but a $100-$150 keyboard replacing the $15 one that has taken some damage and wear but stood up perfectly for years - it doesn't feel worth it. I am amazed that with my heavy use, this thing still passes tests and helps me type and game better. I get worse scores on ANY membrane keyboard I've tried, including 'memchanicals'. Highly recommend this if you need a cheap keyboard. I just used my macro keys to fix my text while typing. It's great, powerful, and has low enough latency that you won't get a huge improvement with that extra $100 cost. The 'blue only' led isn't great, and doesn't get bright enough for me to like it. I like the keys to have light around them, It's good enough.

I recently added a third computer to my tech arsenal at home and with it I made sure to add an Apex SteelSeries Keyboard. They're sturdy, solid, have good heft so they don't move around, and reliable. Typing is smooth, simple, and even fun with the backlit blue adding a bit of smart styling. Overall, a sharp and solid accompaniment to my computer set-up!

I bought two of these, one for my wife and one for me. Great keyboards but mine is still working and my wife's is dead. My wife accidentally spilled a "splash" of a drink into the keyboard and now it's toast. She likes to have a drink while playing games, I thought this was the perfect keyboard for her. I do not think this should be advertised as "Splash Resistant" because they simply aren't.

Have had one of these keyboards for years now and love it. Holds up well under near-constant use from gaming, writing, etc. Feels good to type on and works great for gaming. Honestly, I've spent more on keyboards I didn't like as much. It's good value. So I bought a second for using at work. Only complaint is that the newer keyboard feels a bit lighter and the keys thinner. Hopefully not indicative of a drop in quality. Still a nice keyboard for a reasonable price.

I like the back light, but the letters themselves are not lit. At night, I can barely see the keyboard. Otherwise, this keyboard is perfect and has put out a few months of steady gaming service at this point. There is no input lag as far as I can tell. It was immediately detected by both computers that used it, so no usb driver problems. Also, Steelseries Engine 3 will detect this keyboard, giving you a few more options. You can change the back light intensity, I like mine turned down because blue light blinds you at night. You can change the polling rate. You can also record and bind macros to any key, which is neat if you're into RPGs. Basically, this keyboard is just fine, and if you spend even a dollar more on one, you're being extravagant.

So many things wrong with this. Product works I guess but I refuse to use a item that was used and returned. In package I got just a keyboard thrown in a plastic bag not even sealed. No tie on the cable like when you get a new one. No paperwork what so ever except the bill. Below is the list of things wrong with the page and what I got. Put it right in the trash. Who knows what was done to the keyboard before I got it. 1.No box ( Can't use as a gift if it looks used) 2. used 3.illuminated, not backlit. 4. Paperwork and items that come with all SteelSeries keyboards.

Great budget keyboard. I used to played with a mechanical keyboard for years but those were way too loud so I went with this and I am so glad I did. The keys don’t have a clicky sound but they feel good to press and the blue LEDs are great. The LEDs on full blast are blinding and very bright so I run them on the lowest setting. It comes with steelseries software to customize key binds and much more. Overall, great keyboard for an even more fantastic price!

I truly love this keyboard. I used to play games on my laptop all the time but I graduated college and bought myself a tower. Needed a keyboard and a friend of mine suggested Steel Series. I'd already gotten my headset from them so I gave the keyboard a shot and it was the best thing I could have done. Keys feel great to press. Doesn't require much force to hit a key but you don't get accidental key presses either. Not stupidly loud like mechanical keyboards, either, but just enough of a pop to let you know your press registered without being annoying to listen to. Truly do recommend.
