Performance


The keyboard is plug-and-play compatible, making it super easy to set and of course the 64KB internal memory will let you take your profiles and settings with you. However, to really unlock all the customisation features you’ll want to download and install the Strike Pro software. Here you can tab through five profiles as well as configure various settings.

Macro settings allow you to change which hot keys trigger which macro.

Advanced settings allows you to change polling rate, key response time (1ms – 16ms), disable Windows keys and adjust the lighting.

There are six lighting settings available, off, pulsating, 30% , 70%, 100% and gaming. Gaming only illuminates the red LED gaming keys.

An advanced macro recorder is included too, handy for deploy tricky commands or cool down timed attacks.

The LED back light is rather stunning, clear white lighting on the majority of the keyboard is contrasted with a fire-red on Esc, QWEASD and the arrow keys.

Mechanical keyboards are often known to be quite loud, and the Strike Pro is no exception to this. It is noticeable louder than the Isku-FX I use for the bulk of my work and a lot louder than the low action keys of the Steelseries Apex Raw. This is of course for good reason though. The keys of the Strike Pro bottom out on the keyboards chassis, this gives a nice tap sound when you strike the key and a very satisfying tactile feedback. Sure it’s noisier, but it’s only annoying for the person sat next to you.

Gaming performance of the Strike Pro is exactly as you would expect, nothing short of exceptional! I’ve been using it for two solid days now and have very little to complain about overall. The keys are really fast, giving a nice tactile response that makes them perfect for quick double taps, and there was a noticeable improvement in my League of Legend abilities (I’m only half rubbish now, haha). Battlefield 4, Skyrim, and Torchlight II all played beautifully without issues.

The Macro key placement does concern me a little though, having extra Macro keys above the arrow keys is a little odd, am I supposed to move my hand away from WASD or my right hand from my mouse to hit them? I think extra keys to the left of the keyboard would have been a much more useful solution overall.

Typing and working on this keyboard is a joy, having shortcuts for multimedia is always a welcome bonus and Cherry MX Red switches make typing long documents a lot less strenuous on your hands. There should be more to say about this keyboard, but there isn’t, it delivers the high performance and features that Ozone promised!
