Competitive Gaming Keyboard

The Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E. 3 is a wired gaming keyboard built for competitive players who value tactile response. It uses a custom P.U.L.S.E. membrane keybed tuned for 60g actuation force and reset precision. The design includes a detachable palm rest and a red colour scheme to match themed setups.

Simple USB Setup

Installation is straightforward with a standard wired USB connection requiring no additional drivers for basic operation on supported Windows versions. The 12 dedicated macro keys allow uncomplicated programming across three modes for 36 total bindings. A Windows key lock prevents accidental desktop returns during intense sessions.

For Macro-Heavy Players

This keyboard suits gamers who rely on extensive macro commands and customisable RGB lighting across 16 million colours. The seven-key anti-ghosting limit means it is not ideal for users needing full n-key rollover for complex simultaneous inputs. Buyers wanting mechanical switches or wireless freedom should consider other options.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the P.U.L.S.E. membrane keys are registering correctly after I plug the S.T.R.I.K.E. 3 into my Windows 7 PC?

Open a text editor and press several keys at once; the anti-ghosting supports up to seven simultaneous keystrokes, so every character should appear without drops.

What accessories are included with the MCB43112N013/04/1 and what must I provide?

The box contains the keyboard with its detachable palm rest and the integrated wired USB cable; no separate cable, software disc or power adapter is required.

Which colour variant of the S.T.R.I.K.E. 3 should I choose for a red-themed build?

This model is offered in a single red finish with fully customisable RGB backlighting across 16 million colours, so it matches a red theme out of the box.
