   If you like feature-rich keyboards with RGB illumination for the keys, plenty of macros and other extras with which you can impress your friends the Strike Battle was obviously not designed with you in mind. Instead OZONE built a very sturdy 88-keys (tenkeyless) keyboard by marrying durable materials with red LED illuminated MX mechanical switches by Cherry and left it at that. Certainly you have some extras like macro and media navigation keys (not dedicated ones however) but that’s just about it. Since however the Strike Battle was designed to be a small keyboard for use on the go (or in LAN events) we can’t really complain for the lack of features. As for the Cherry MX red mechanical switches as usual they provide smooth and linear motion making them ideal for gaming. Sure they don’t have the audible and tactile feedback of the Cherry MX blue switches but if you ask me the difference is not that huge (and since we’re talking about a gaming keyboard reds are better).


   For some strange reason we were unable to track the OZONE Strike Battle inside the USA so currently we only have its EU price tag which is set at 94Euros (Amazon.co.uk). This price tag places it right next to several regular and tenkeyless mechanical gaming keyboard models (with Cherry MX switches) so in the end it just comes down to how much you’re willing to spend for a quality tenkeyless keyboard. Overall the Strike Battle is a very solid and compact mechanical gaming keyboard and although it doesn’t impress with its features still it delivers exactly on everything OZONE says and for that it gets our Golden Award.
