Aluminium-frame 96-key mechanical keyboard

The Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E. 13 Chameleon is a premium wired gaming keyboard built on a brushed aluminium top plate. It uses Cherry MX Red linear switches and provides per-key RGB backlighting across 16.8 million colours. The compact 96-key layout includes a numeric block while saving desk space compared to full-size models.

Suits gamers and typists wanting linear feel

Players who prefer smooth, quiet keystrokes without a tactile bump will appreciate the Cherry MX Red switches. The sturdy aluminium frame resists flex during intense sessions. Users who need dedicated macro columns, a volume roller, or wireless freedom should consider other designs, as this model omits those features.

96 keys with full RGB per-key control

Every key is individually addressable for lighting effects and the layout retains the number pad for data entry. The wired USB connection ensures consistent response without battery management. The keyboard relies on the host system for advanced macro storage, so cloud-sync profiles or onboard memory banks are not available.

Questions about this item

What do I need besides the keyboard itself to use the 96-key S.T.R.I.K.E. 13 Chameleon?

A Windows 7, 8 or 10 computer with a free USB port is all that is required; the board is wired and draws power from that connection.

Will the 96-key layout and Cherry MX Red switches fit in with my older full-size keyboard muscle memory?

The compact 96-key design keeps the alphanumeric block, arrows and navigation cluster in familiar positions, so the transition from a standard board feels natural.

How can I verify the RGB backlight is working across all 16.8 million colours after I plug it in?

Press the dedicated lighting keys or use the Mad Catz software to cycle through colour modes; every key should illuminate without dark spots.
