Is the Apex 3 TKL worth it?

Yes if you want a quiet, compact, spill-resistant gaming keyboard at a low price. Skip it if you want mechanical switch feel or wireless.

How does it compare with the full-size Apex 3?

Same membrane switches and IP32 rating, but the TKL drops the number pad and is shorter, leaving more room for the mouse. Both keep the volume roller and media keys.

Does it have battery life?

No. It is a wired USB keyboard with no battery, so it draws power from the PC.

Is it good for typing as well as gaming?

Yes. The quiet tactile membrane and 24-key rollover suit office and school work, though heavy typists may prefer mechanical keys.

The keyboard and a USB cable. No wrist rest or extra keycaps are included.

Budget membrane boards like this one usually drop during back-to-school and Black Friday sales. Compare the current price with its recent range before buying.
