THE STRIKE BATTLE
The 685g heavy Strike Battle measures just 351mm in length, 123mm in width and 34.59mm in height (smaller compared to the Rantopad MXX we reviewed a while back).
Since we happened to have the Attack X3 by Cougar at the same time we placed it right next to the Strike Battle to see how a tenkeyless keyboard compares to a somewhat basic full sized model.
OZONE printed the product name at the front of the space bar key.
F1 through F4 can also be used to rotate the key response time (1/2/4/8/12/16ms) and polling rate (125/250/500/1000Hz) of the keyboard.
F5 through F12 also double as media navigation keys (play/pause, stop, previous, next, launch media player, mute, Volume down/up).
You can enable gaming mode (disables windows keys and enables the macro keys) with the print screen key and adjust the brightness levels of the keys with the scroll lock key (Off, Pulsating, 10%, 30%, 70% and 100%).
Here we see all six macro keys which are enabled once gaming mode is activated.
The space between the caps and the keyboard allows for much easier and faster cleaning compared to regular keyboards.
Here we see the Cherry MX mechanical switches and the red LEDs right above them.
At the base of the keyboard we see 3 rubber feet and two height adjusters rubber coated at the end.
These height adjusters raise the top of the keyboard roughly 12mm from the desktop.
The 1.5 meter long cord ends up on a gold plated USB plug.
