It’s just a normal-looking keyboard with some awkward angles.Ĭherry’s RGB lighting is also top-tier, though, per usual, the “stem” design relegates the backlight to the top of the keys. The Strike 4 “matches” the Rat, but it doesn’t achieve the same sense of purpose, doesn’t ask the user to question why a keyboard’s constructed the way it is, or whether we could perhaps create a better keyboard by divorcing form and function. It’s ugly and unrefined, but in a way that feels purposeful and raw and intriguing.” I admit, I actually liked Mad Catz’s design efforts with the Rat, stating in my review, “The Rat goes to such an extreme, I find myself drawn to it. The shape is edgy and aggressive as well, and while I’m sure some people enjoy that style, I, for one, don’t. The prominent Mad Catz logo along the bottom edge is fine, but the adjacent cyberpunk-looking circuit-board nonsense is completely unnecessary. The Strike 4 is brand new, but in many respects looks like a relic from 2011 or so. The market may have largely moved on from the “gamer” aesthetic that dominated peripherals for years, but Mad Catz has not.
