Great keyboard for gaming and general use - I got lucky and found this for $90 off due to being open box. The box was literally just opened up, not damaged at all, and nothing inside was touched. I'd still recommend it at MSRP, but with the open-box discount, it's an incredible keyboard. Had issues with backspace, spacebar, and some of the other wider key not registering if pressed towards the sides, but simply remounting them fixed that problem. Really please with the feel of this keyboard, and I like shiny things, so the light are a fun addition.

Customer reviews
Write a reviewExcellent all-around gaming keyboard - This gaming keyboard feels so nice to the touch you can go for long typing sessions with normal use or long hours gaming on it. I've used the previous generation of steelseries for years and loved it as well. Definitely one of the best keyboards I've used hands down.
SteelSeries Apex Pro - The SteelSeries Apex Pro Gen 3 is a fantastic keyboard. The level of customization is impressive, and the OmniPoint switches feel incredibly smooth and responsive. It is clearly a high-quality product that has been a great addition to my gaming setup. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and adjustable mechanical keyboard.
Great gaming keyboard. - I love this Keyboard for Gaming so fast you will love it
Unreliable product, terrible support. - DO NOT BUY ON BESTBUY AS THEY WILL NOT SUPPORT FIXES FOR KEYBOARDS!!! Keyboard's arrow key started to bug out after 10 months. Randomly the key would just decide to not register the input. Tried all kinds of fixes from updating drivers, factory reset the keyboard, and cleaning the keyboard. They all didn't fix the issue. Contacted bestbuy support online with no solution, had to schedule an in-person appointment. Came to store with keyboard in person, told they do not support keyboard and you'd have to have the protection plan, and even with the plan all they'll do is exchange your keyboard for a new one. Utterly disappointed. Wasted my time trying to reach out bestbuy support. Will not buy this product again from bestbuy.
Worth the money - Really happy with the keyboard and all of the extra stuff it can do. I'd repurchase for sure. Not super loud as all and the lights arent obnoxious
Love this keyboard! - I love the feel of the keys on this keyboard. The lighting effects are great. The keyboard feels solid and good quality. No complaints so far!
AWESOME - GREATEST KEYBOARD ON THE MARKET ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND
Awesome keyboard steel series quality is top notch. Looks great and works better
Very good quality & good customization features - This keyboard is no doubt the best keyboard I have ever touched. Each key feels like it was engineered to total perfection, and the GG software allows you to do so many things like change colors, adjust the sensitivity of the keys, and much more. It even has an aim trainer on it. The only issue is that the OLED screen is not that useful, and I would rather have it reaplced with something else or gone.
Unmatched Speed and Precision - This is one of the most technically advanced, blisteringly fast gaming keyboards you can buy right now. It is a powerhouse for competitive gaming, especially in shooters like Valorant and Counter-Strike 2. However, its eye-watering price tag and a few frustrating cost-cutting decisions keep it from being a flawless masterpiece. If you play fast-paced competitive games, the Apex Pro Gen 3 will legitimately give you a mechanical advantage. The OmniPoint 3.0 switches, Rapid Tap, and Rapid Trigger are game-changers for movement-heavy titles. However, if you are more of a casual gamer, a typist, or a keyboard enthusiast who likes to tinker, the high price tag and lack of hot-swappability make it a tough sell compared to other premium mechanical boards.
Great gaming Keyboard - This keyboard is the best ive had and ive been gaming for over 20 years.
Easy light up keyboard - This keyboard is easy to.use while gaming..probably the best gaming keyboard ive ever had.
Keyboard quality - Works well, quick and consistent feedback, not too clicky
Butter Smooth But At What Cost? - This keyboard is quite possibly the best keyboard I’ve ever typed on. The keys are butter smooth and quiet. I haven’t really used the other features just yet but it’s neat to know that it has them. It also has a cool little screen that is customizable. My only concern is how durable the switches are. I’m gentle with my keyboards but you just never know. These switches are proprietary to this keyboard so if they break, you may need to replace the entire keyboard, which is not cheap! Otherwise, amazing product!
Great Keyboard - Keyboard feels really good. Lots of options for customization works well with my Razer app as well.
It go clicky clacky right - Its like you wake up in the morning and you need clicky clacky, this is for you fam
3 stars because of need for the gg engine - You should not need to download any app in order to do simple settings on the keyboard. I had another brand one and still have it but decided to get this one since the other is older. This one needs the GG engine steel series engine in order to do simple things like change the color setting. My other brand one did not need an app or download to do that. I've had it a couple months and just like the recent update to the GG .messed up my mouse it had also made this ones color annoying in that when first turning the computer on the color reverts back to the original and the eventually changes to the desired color. So obnoxious to have to have an app to make adjustments to a device. More ways to get your information need an account to make those adjustments. Otherwise like it ik, takes a pounding when I get to typing.
Very nice but it’s not loud - Not super clicky or loud, but it’s also not super smooth the keyboard feels nice. The color are also nice. I used this for pc setup it’s convenient.
Unbelievably fast and highly customizable - Pros: OmniPoint 3.0 magnetic switches are buttery smooth and hyper-responsive. Rapid Trigger and Rapid Tap make a massive, noticeable difference in movement-heavy games. Full-size layout means zero compromises for productivity. Beautiful RGB and a super convenient on-board OLED screen. Cons: The software can take a minute to get used to because of all the depth, but the predefined game presets make it easy to jump right in. Best keyboard on the market right now.
