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

Good solid keyboard.. Keys have the correct feeling.. Cant deal with those chicklet keyboards anymore..

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

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!

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.

This keyboard is as low profile as it can get. The keyboard is very small and very slim. In terms of thickness this is a little bigger than two iPhone x stacked on top of each other. The lights are bright vibrant but fairly obnoxious. (Seriously DIM the brightness or change the setting, this thing will affect gsmeplay). The lights will be noticable and can become a distraction Typing on this is fairly enjoyable, it feels like lower travel and force required by your fingers. I personally think the space bar is too stiff for my liking. I had some issues with the tab button but after removing the keycap and putting it back on it was not as stiff. I used this keyboard for the following games and here is my experience; League of Legends - felt good to use besides my previous issue with the tab button being too stiff on the outter left end of the key. Felt good playing spam champions like Karthus and Evelyn. Final Fantasy XIV - like spam champions in MMO you spam and mash buttons between cooldowns. The low profile keyboard is amazing for this. Although being an MMO the lack of Macro keys did suck. Macros are a luxury not a necessity so that is fine Call of Duty Modern Warfare - playing FPS on this keyboard felt better than my red switch Corsair K70. I quickly adjusted to this keyboard and now it is my go to. Surprisingly a good built keyboard. (I actually saw this at Blizzcon 2019 and had to look it up). It seems there is a growing market for low profile keyboards and I think this makes the cut. Especially with the attractive price (I bought this at $79.99)

Love it. Mechanical keys, can light up like a fking stadium disco ball.. MSI you cant go wrong. I recommend.

Keyboard works great they juts need to fix all the bugs in there color customization in dragon center

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.

I dont write very many reviews but I felt compelled to write one for this product because I feel like some of the reviews below are misleading. Lets get a few things straight first. This keyboard is LOW PROFILE. the keys are going to be thin. Another thing, these are TACTILE keys that have a nice CLICKY sound. The keyboard is loud. I personally love these kinds of mechanical keyboards. Some people dont. It says it in the description and it seems like some people just suck at reading. Next. This keyboard is NOT all metal construction. If you want a nice mechanical low profile keyboard, get a Logitech G815 (its gonna set you back about $180). If you want something half the price....this is it. So why do I like this keyboard. Well..... there are almost NO low profile clicky keyboards available on the market. I have a G815 but I needed another keyboard and wasnt willing to shell out another $180 atm. I love MSIs products and was not hesitant to order this when I saw it online. There are some other brands (such as Havit) that make low profile clicky keyboards but they have TERRIBLE reputations and suffer from poor build quality and malfunctions over time. This keyboard isnt the highest quality but it is by no means cheap. The LEDs are extremely bright. One thing I will give this an advantage over my G815...... the alternate key symbols illuminate whereas the others dont. This keyboard works perfectly for those who are typing all day and enjoy the audible and tactile feedback of every keypress. I would not recommend this gamers but then again to each their own. It is perfect for typing documents and writing code or whatever it is that you do on the computer all day.

I dont usually review items on Amazon but this one is deserving. I work from home so I bought this primarily so I can see the keyboard at night (backlit) without turning on the room lights. I type very quickly and other keyboards I have tried do not even come close to one. I tried 2 others before getting this one. Very few mistakes, fast and comfortable. The awesome clicking sound is oddly satisfying. Great product!
