Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E.M

A 60% keyboard running Membrane switches. Wireless connectivity and single-color backlighting round out the spec sheet. A 60% layout maximizes desk space but drops arrows and F-keys to layers. Switch feel is personal; try the switch type before committing if you can.

At $59.99 it sits in the mid-range keyboard bracket. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing.
