New SteelSeries Gaming Keyboards and Mouse

Good news for gamers on a budget, as the new SteelSeries gaming keyboards and mouse are designed for a lower price point. Which means you can look cool and get better gaming technology without spending as much.

The SteelSeries Rival 3 Gaming Mouse

Most important for any new PC gaming peripheral is the RGB lighting. But the new SteelSeries Rival 3 also offers the new TrueMove Core optical sensor with true 1-to-1 tracking and precise movement. That should offer a better accuracy than most products at the same price point.

You also get a lightweight 77g design, switches rated for 60 million clicks, and on-board memory. Which means you can save up to five CPI profiles, which are fully customisable. The SteelSeries Rival 3 costs £34.99, and you will be able to buy it from Currys PC World and Argos.

SteelSeries Apex 3 Gaming Keyboard

Obviously your keyboard also needs to light up. And the SteelSeries Apex 3 gaming keyboard has 10-zone RGB lighting. It’s also water-resistant, which is handy if you, or younger gamers in your family, are prone to the occasional drink spillage during the excitement.

You also get whisper-quiet gaming switches, and gaming-grade anti-ghosting, which means the Apex 3 should correctly register every single button press.

The low-friction switches are performance guaranteed for more than 20 million keypresses. And it looks professional with a similar high-quality magnetic wrist rest, dedicated media keys and clickable metal roller, plus three-way cable routing system like the more expensive Apex Pro range.

The SteelSeries Apex 3 gaming keyboard costs £69.99, and will be available from Currys PC World and Argos.

The SteelSeries Apex 5 Gaming Keyboard

The extra money over the Apex 3 gets you hybrid switches which combine the smoothness of a membrane version with the durability and tactile click of a mechanical switch.

That’s the main change, as it also has a premium magnetic wrist rest, aircraft-grade aluminium build, OLED Smart Display, media controls and volume roller, plus customisable per-key RGB lighting. And you can customise the OLED screen with gifs, view in-game info, incoming Discord messages and more.

As above, it’ll soon be available from Currys PC World and Argos for the price of £109.99.
