A full-sized keyboard can really make or break your gaming experience, especially if you normally intensive first-person-shooters in which every second matters. A numeric keypad, for example, is nice to have because you can use it as a game pad for your right hand. And today you can get one without breaking the bank.
The SteelSeries Apex 3 is on sale for $34.99 at Best Buy, good for $15 off the usual price. It’s a membrane keyboard, which means it doesn’t make much noise due to the rubber domes underneath the keys. Although you won’t hear the satisfying click-clack noise that comes from typing on a mechanical keyboard, it’s still a good keyboard, especially if you prefer a quieter typing experience.
The SteelSeries Apex 3 has 104 keys, 10 different zones of RGB backlighting (if you like that sort of thing!), and a spill-resistant design. It’s a wired keyboard, so it connects to your computer via USB Type C. It’s also compatible with Windows or Mac. This keyboard is well-reviewed on Best Buy as well, with one person saying the keys “do not merely type, they glide with the grace of a seasoned ballerina.” Regardless of the flowery language, that’s some high praise right there.
If you’re looking for a quiet yet roomy keyboard, the Apex 3 is a great choice. Get it now before it’s gone forever — at least at this price.
