MSI Vigor GK50 Low Profile RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Kailh White Low Profile Switches, Brushed Aluminum Design, Ergonomic Keycap Design, RGB Mystic Light

Love the soft mechanical click and programmable lighting. I really just needed a keyboard with a constant backlight, but not many were tunable brightness and this one comes packed with other cool features and the quality is definitely tangible. Nice job MSI. Now I just hope it lasts more than a year!

Love the low profile keys and RGB modes. Very comfortable for productivity and gaming

Numpad 8 acts like its being held down when you push it, a little irritating for how much it costs, but otherwise works great as a gaming keyboard.

This keyboard is now one of my favorites to use. It offers the RGB integration to be used with mystic light, and from what I can tell, it can represent RGB values correctly. One easy way to check if your RGB lights display the colors precisely is to display some color similar to peach. This keyboard passed the test and showed the peach color correctly. My previous keyboard and RGB devices have not been able to get the same color accuracy as this keyboard has been able to too. I highly trust that MSI has designed this keyboard to last a very long time in terms of build quality. The key switches in this keyboard allow for a perfect balance for gaming and office work. The weight of actuation force that is needed to press the keys allows for fewer minor typing mistakes and typos. I have seen what other reviews mention about the space bar, but a little lubrication could help when the spacebar starts feeling scratchy. Overall I highly recommend this keyboard for all users.

Took my home keyboard to work since the work one was a piece of junk. I wanted something cool for working at home and I type a lot so good keyboard feel was important. This keyboard checks all the boxes. There is no learning curve from my Logitech board and I may type faster on this. The clicky sound is loud and is a good quality sound, not cheap like some Ive heard. The board overall has a very good solid feel to it. No problem working with Linux Mint either.

Keyboard worked as expected Now down to personal preference Key stroke has good travel, good activation pressure for someone like me who fumbles while typing/ no accidental key strokes, great low profile keyboard, nice bright rgb, works in BIOS, Only con is im not a fan of the icons and font on the keys but its different so to each there own In my very personal opinion it is better then all razor key boards I have tried (razor clicky is to clicky and razor software is too intrusive), better the Logitech g815 (Logitech was a MASSIVE keyboard to big for my desk with slightly to light actuation force) and all other keyboards were tactile and linear which i have learned is not my preference so i wont talk about those

First off, I am really happy to see a mainstream companys keyboard using Kailh switches, they are excellent switches and I prefer them over Cherry switches or membrane any day. That said, there are a few things I dislike about this keyboard and ultimately made me return it after a few hours. First, although the chassis is a nice brushed aluminum on top, the rest is cheap thin plastic. Every key press in the middle of the board causes a hollow metallic ping to echo throughout the chassis. It is not super loud but it is also not a pleasant sound to me and got on my nerves really quick. Second, is the design of the key caps. They are much too flat and make it really difficult to find a key quickly without looking at the board. Being able to easily find the Backspace, Enter, F, and J keys by feel without looking is a must for me and for some reason it just want happening for me on this board. It is probably due to the semi-glossy feel of the keys and lack of distinct shape. The keyboard does have nice aesthetics, i really like the color of the Lock leds, they are red when the backlight is off and change to a split blue/light purple effect with it on. If you are looking for a budget low-profike mechanical keyboard, this one fits the bill nicely. If you are looking for something a little sturdier with some heft to it and you can afford a higher price tag, Id go with a regular mechanical keyboard, preferably one with hot-swappable switches so you can find the most comfortable style for you.

Fast and accurate. One year later and still my favorite keyboard! Personal taste/other keyboards comparison. I love low profile keyboards style laptops. The keys being too low, they are no mechanical keyboards for such low profile keys, so mid-height mechanical keyboards are a go-to for me. I tried the Razer Ornata Expert Mecha-Membrane, which is a pretty good keyboard, but looking at it now, the keys do feel harder to press and less natural compared to this MSI keyboard. I also tried the Corsair K70 MK.2, but as much as I reaaaally tried to love it since it was a gift, I had to return it after several weeks of trying. The K70 had no accuracy, the sensitivity of the keyboard was so high that it would type characters that I didnt mean/really pressed and would trigger num pad keys several times instead of one, or simply just ignore a key press. Pros: Fast, while staying accurate. Solid and nice quality. Good looking metal finish being the keys. Cons: Noisy (mechanical keyboard noise, wished they had a silent version). No direct control volume (need to press a combo of keys to change the volume) Minor cons for a fantastic keyboard. It felt right like home the first time I tried it and it still does today!

loved the keyboard for the short time it worked well, but the space bar is starting to fail on mine. for the last month or so, a slight movement while pressing space causes a double-press. now its beginning to not register presses at all. time to start hunting for another board that can hopefully last.

I bought this keyboard to replace a Redragon keyboard that was dropping inputs. Ive had it for a year now, and Im still in love with it. Its held up extremely well and sounds incredible. The Khail white switches are a dream if you like clicky switches, especially for low profile. Just be aware that its VERY loud and clicky, keep it out of shared spaces and keep your Discord noise canceling on. But if youre looking at this, you probably know that already. I got this at what I guess was an introductory price, its double or triple what I paid for it now. That said Id still say $100 is a good value for such a durable, reliable, great sounding full-size LP keyboard. Cant recommend enough if this is your jam.
