Full Key Anti-Ghosting with 30-Key Rollover

 

S.T.R.I.K.E.^TE reliably detects up to 30 keys pressed at the same time, enough to easily handle any modern PC game. This is a direct result of completely redesigning the track layout, giving every key the most direct route to the central processor. Extraordinary anti-ghosting technology is yet another standout attribute. Unlike many keyboards labeled as anti-ghosting, S.T.R.I.K.E.^TE frees you to press ANY combination of keys without producing phantom strokes. You won't need to reconfigure the keyboard if you prefer the ESDF block over WASD, S.T.R.I.K.E.^TE completely removes the need to do so.

 

 

 

 

A dozen programmable macro buttons over three modes create 36 user-definable commands. Each of the three 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.

 

 

Intuitive software enables you to simply drag and drop a command to one of the keyboard's programmable buttons. 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 macro programmed using our advanced editing software can store up to 255 individual keystrokes, with precise calibration to within 1/1000th of a second. And, we've even done some legwork for you by providing pre-made profiles for over 25 of the most popular PC games.

 

 

Not all backlighting is equal, and S.T.R.I.K.E.^TE offers the ability to individually brighten specific keyboard areas. Perfect for gaming in dim environments, you can assign distinct illumination to the main keyboard, cursor keys, and WASD.

 

 

Competitive gaming on a regular basis has a tendency to make your gear deteriorate faster than normal. S.T.R.I.K.E.^TE eludes this potential by utilizing rugged build materials. The keys can endure over 50 million strokes, and the durable metal frame vastly enhances longevity. Build bases and command armies to your heart's content S.T.R.I.K.E.^TE can handle it all, again and again.

 

 

Built-in shortcut keys provide the means to adjust media and backlighting without the need to open apps or programs. Easily pause or skip music tracks, tweak the volume, and alter backlighting brightness all from buttons F5 though F12.

 

 

Accidentally pressing the Windows key during an energetic match can result in losing rather than winning. Disable the Windows key by merely sliding a switch yet another outstanding feature that solidifies S.T.R.I.K.E.^TE as the very definition of a tournament-grade mechanical keyboard.

 

 

The difference between glory and defeat can be measured in fractions. Mad Catz' Tournament Edition range is stripped back, streamlined, tuned to within an inch of its life. Faster, lighter, more precise and built to last.
