Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E. 4 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – 104-Key Full-Size, Cherry MX Red Switches, Anti-Ghosting N-Key Rollover, Chameleon 16.8 Million Colour RGB with 18 Lighting Effects, Tough Aluminium Faceplate

The Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E. 4 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard redefines what a pure gaming-focused keyboard can be by delivering elite mechanical switch performance, a robust build, and rich RGB visual effects—yet remains attainable for competitive gamers and productivity users alike.

At the core of this keyboard lies the German-engineered Cherry MX Red linear switches, which provide swift actuation and consistent response ideal for fast-paced gameplay or rapid typing. Rated for up to 50 million keystrokes, these switches ensure durability over extended gaming sessions and intense usage. 

Building on mechanical performance, the S.T.R.I.K.E. 4 features full anti-ghosting and true N-key rollover across all 104 keys. Whether you’re executing multiple hot-key combos in MMO raids, chaining rapid commands in RTS tournaments, or simply managing media and productivity keys, every input is reliably detected. 

Aesthetically and functionally, this keyboard stands out thanks to its Chameleon RGB lighting system. With access to 16.8 million colours and 18 predefined lighting effects—such as wave, ripple, breathing, and custom layers—you can tailor the visual ambiance to match your system or mood. Brightness and effect speed are adjustable via shortcuts or software. 

Durability is equally prioritized: the top surface is made of aluminum alloy, lending both rigidity and a premium look, while doubleshot keycaps prevent legends from fading over time. Meanwhile, the included 1.6 m braided USB cable and integrated 3-way cable management on the underside help reduce desk clutter and improve setup neatness. 

For customization and control, the bundled F.L.U.X. software enables up to three onboard macro bank profiles. Users can assign game-specific macros, remap keys, and set lighting profiles—all stored on the keyboard’s onboard memory for portability between PCs. The physical footprint (450 × 158 × 40 mm) and weight (~905 g) give the S.T.R.I.K.E. 4 a stable presence on the desk—minimizing unwanted movement during aggressive gameplay. 

In everyday usage, the S.T.R.I.K.E. 4 bridges the gap between competitive gaming and productivity workflows. It’s equally effective for rapid key-press sequences in e-sports and for extended typing sessions thanks to the linear switch feel and solid build. Whether you’re racing through a battle-royale, streaming live, editing multimedia, or working from home, this keyboard offers the responsiveness, durability and visual flair to keep you engaged and in control.

If you’re seeking a gaming keyboard that doesn’t compromise on core performance, but also delivers build quality and style, the Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E. 4 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is a strong contender.
