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

Great Keyboard

Finally upgraded from my old crap keyboard to this. Heard lots of good things and decided to give it a try. Pros: - Low profile: really love the look and feel of this keyboard. Doesnt feel clunky and everything is pretty smooth. - Great for gaming: quick response and sleek, barely had to think about my next move before the keyboard responded. The overall design is pretty perfect for me. Cons: - Very clicky: I know, I know. Dont get a mechanical keyboard if you dont like the clicky sound. But this click is very loud. Like you hear an echo of the click after you press the key and you can hear it through a closed door kind of loud. I also have sensory issues and the click has proven to be distracting while Im working (also got some complaints from the people I game with who were able to hear the click loudly through my mic no matter how I changed the settings). Not sure if Ill keep this or try out another model but wanted to write my experience just the same.

Everything about this keyboard is amazing to me, but there are a lot of differing desires when it comes to a keyboard, so it will ultimately depend on what youre after. Do you want pretty lights and a sweet design? Got you right here. During the day I find I quite enjoy the mode that lights up wherever I press a key. Zoom zoom go the lights across the board and its quite pleasing. At night I like the pulse, with or without zoomies. The brightness is just right for me as well. Aside from the lights... DRAGON. METAL. Very stylish. Looking for a smaller keyboard because you have smol hands and/or less desk space? Yep, this one is perfect. My last keyboard was very chunky, both the keys and the overall space it took on my desk. For most people, larger size probably wouldnt be an issue, but because my hands are quite small it actually hurt to stretch and then press those big keys. This keyboard is the perfect size for me. Im finding Im more accurate because of it, which overall makes me faster. While most might consider it a downside, I prefer the lack of handrest. The bigger keyboards with such a feature are too big for my setup and if my hand needs a rest its fine just chilling on my desk. The built-in rests tend to just get in my way. Want something that feels good to type on? Heck yeah, this thing is great. The key presses feel very clicky and responsive. This is, of course, where the noise issue will come in for many people. If you dont want something that feels and thus sounds clicky, youll want something else. It is quite loud, but I enjoy it. I would highly recommend holding onto the plastic protector that comes with it and just place that over top of the keyboard when not in use to keep this work of art sparkly clean. Just a small unintended bonus they gave people like me who like a clean keyboard, but endure a constant struggle with dust and cat hair...

This was my first mechanical keyboard and Im pretty impressed. The software is terrible and I ended up uninstalling it but the lighting is fully functional without it. I ended up adding some foam inside the case and o rings to the switch stems and I am very happy with the way it turned out. If I could change anything about it I think it would be even better with usb pass-thru and hot swap switches. Maybe cable routing channels as well but for less than $100 I dont think it can be beat.

This keyboard has a wonderful feel with real keys. It is very responsive. The font makes it a a bit hard to use. The font should bigger (50%) and use conventional characters. In particular n and w and F1 are strange looking

So far this is a great keyboard with zero issues. The low profile makes it easy to type on. Very well made. Has several LED color combos. Has a lite clicking noise when typing not to annoying. Less noisy that some other mechanical keyboards. Easy to set different light patterns and colors. Just hold down the Dragon key and press the INS key to change the light patterns. Also while holding down the Dragon key use your arrow keys to change brightness and colors. Very nice brushed aluminium. MSI has stepped up their game and you will not be disappointed in the quality of this keyboard. The only con is no wrist rest.

Better than I expected. Ive used other mechanical keyboard, but this is my favorite so far.

This is my first 100% mechanical KB. I also have the GK30, which is a semi-mechanical KB (membrane but with an imitation of a switch). I love the feel this GK50 gives; it is soft, smooth, exactly what i was looking for. I dont find its sound disturbing, if anything i find it really quiet (i though it was gonna be louder, so a pleasant surprise); in fact, the GK30 is louder (the keys hitting the plastic KB frame is louder). The keycaps are great, really soft to the touch. The backlight is also great, not dimm but not overly bright either. I had no issues with the Dragon Center App (already had it installed since i have several MSI items). I havent tried macros or per-key lightning, but i guess that would also work correctly... I was looking for low profile keyboard that gave me the feeling i had with my old Toshiba X205 laptop (i hate those chiclets keys that come in new laptops) and this just nailed. 100% satisfied and totally recommended.

Muy buen producto.
