Every once in a while, we see a gaming hardware company come up with something that you would want to look into – especially those who do have a penchant for the outrageous, there is the Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 Professional Gaming Keyboard which will surely blow your mind away. Basically, this particular gaming keyboard is enhanced with an advanced touch sensitive display as well as boasting modular construction to deliver an enhanced competitive gaming experience. The touch screen interface is known as V.E.N.O.M, where you are able to take control of your gaming environment, launch games or applications at the swipe of a finger, in addition to deploying custom macro commands, run a program chat, game, and alter media settings amongst others.

Darren Richardson, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz Interactive, Inc., said, “The S.T.R.I.K.E.7 is the first in a line of new keyboards and rounds out our PC gaming range of F.R.E.Q. headsets and R.A.T. gaming mice. Our engineers created a keyboard that delivers unprecedented customization and performance. We believe the S.T.R.I.K.E.7 will capture the imagination of passionate gamers and continues to demonstrate our ability to innovative in the core gaming sector.”

The asking price for the Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 Professional Gaming Keyboard is not cheap though – we are looking at a rather backbreaking $299.99 a pop.
