Whisper quiet switches are designed with low-friction, durable materials for over 20 million keypresses and deliver near-silent gameplay. The Whisper-Quiet membrane switches are very relaxing to type with, the plastic construction is very solid and it doesn’t creak like a door in a horror movie like in other boards I’ve used. If I were to compare the Whisper-Quiet switches to mechanical switches, I would say that they felt a bit similar to Zeal Zilents, which are silent tactile switches. The Apex 3 TKL uses rubber dome switches, which feel mushier and not as satisfying, and its latency is significantly worse. pounds (639 g), it’s a bit too light for its own good, as its lack of heft caused its small ten-keyless frame to occasionally move around on my desk during use.

You can use the spudger or knife on its own without using the hairdryer, especially if you're unsure of how long to heat the feet up by.This entire keyboard is composed of slightly glossy plastic, but it doesn’t attract fingerprints nearly as much as competitors like the Wooting Two HE, which is impressive given that it costs less than half as much as Wooting’s board. For the casual gamer, it may not be worth the extra cost just to flick a few lights on once in a blue moon. On the other hand, the SteelSeries feels better built, and the keys are more stable, providing better typing quality.
