Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E. 5 Gaming Keyboard for PC

The Perfect Balance of Form and Function

Introducing the S.T.R.I.K.E. 5 from Mad Catz, the perfect keyboard with which to construct your ideal gaming setup. Whether your game of choice is an RPG, FPS, MMO, RTS, MOBA or any other genre, you can now customize your keyboard's physical layout, backlighting, and programmable keys to meet your needs.

Fully Modular for Unrivaled Customization

Borrowing modifiable technology from the world's most adjustable mouse — the award-winning R.A.T. — the S.T.R.I.K.E. 5 Gaming Keyboard's unique design provides unprecedented customization options to enhance overall comfort. Armed with total control of your keyboard's fit, size, color, sound, and programming, you can finally play your favorite games exactly as intended: How you like to play them!

5 Separate Hardware Modules

1. Control Module with E.Y.E. OLED Display

Easily navigate the keyboard's many functions with the Control Module's intuitive E.Y.E. panel. Program advanced macros, adjust backlighting, monitor respawn timers, control your media, and even take in-game control of external functions - balance game and microphone volumes, launch apps and websites - all with a few simple finger taps. Plus, the on-board 3.5mm speaker and microphone ports mean you won't have to dig around behind your PC just to plug in a headset.

2. Main Keyboard — Optimized for Responsiveness

When a fraction of a second is all that divides victory from defeat, you must have absolute confidence in your keyboard. The S.T.R.I.K.E. key bed utilizes a specially engineered membrane which provides the tactile feel and responsiveness expected by gamers. The speedy, double-tap friendly keys respond to an optimized 60g of actuation force and reset at the perfect level, all of which helps reduce muscle fatigue during marathon gaming sessions. The unique design gives you the best keyboard performance without sacrificing backlighting, durability, or responsiveness.

Not all backlighting is the same. RBG backlighting with 16 million color variants - both through and around the keys - matches the keyboard to your gaming rig and the keys' laser-etched, lacquered light guides are ideal for gaming in dim environments.

3. Function Strip with Programmable Action Buttons

The S.T.R.I.K.E. 5 Gaming Keyboard incorporates 21 programmable macro buttons over three modes to create 63 user-definable commands. The keyboard includes nine programmable buttons on the E.Y.E. panel plus four more on the removable Function Strip, three controls on the palm rest, and five extra programmable keys on the NumPad bring the total to 21.

4. Modular NumPad

Just like the Control Module, the NumPad is capable of loose or fix-mounted positioning. The custom connection scheme makes it all possible, and the included set of longer wires bolsters your arrangement options.

5. 3-Part Active Palm Rest and Two Wrist Rests

The height-adjustable, active palm-rest houses both a thumb wheel and an action button for even more controls at your fingertips. Both wrist-rests utilize a rugged 5-pin connector to attach to the main keyboard module and NumPad, effectively enhancing your comfort during stints of extended gaming.

Uncomplicated Macro Programming

An intuitive graphical interface vastly simplifies the formerly tedious task of macro programming. Assign single or multiple keystrokes, complete with custom timings, to macro keys and then easily fine-tune your settings. This ability is essential for fast-paced games which require clear but complex multi-key actions.

Each of the keyboard's three different modes can store your programmed macros, tripling mid-game access to available commands. Once programmed, custom profiles can be published to share with your community and saved for later recall, allowing for a seamless transition to another gaming PC.
