Product Overview

MSI VIGOR GK50 ELITE is a mid-range mechanical keyboard that features Kailh switches, brushed aluminum top plate, and per-key RGB lighting.
Naturally, the VIGOR GK50 ELITE supports 100% anti-ghosting with N-key rollover. The Kailh Box White switch offers improved stability and a crisper typing experience compared to Cherry MX Red, while the Kailh Blue switch provides faster and lighter actuation in the same comparison. The VIGOR GK50 ELITE can be purchased with either.
Design-wise, the VIGOR GK50 ELITE features unique octagonal keycaps that complement the keyboard's design.
MSI also markets a number of other mechanical keyboards, including a low-profile variant of the GK50.

Reviewers from tomshardware have found:
MSI's Vigor GK50 Elite keyboard has tactile, clicky Kailh Blue switches. If you're used to non-mechanical keyboards, this keyboard will take some getting used to. The keys on the keyboard are well-spaced, which was advantageous when gaming. You can also control RGB settings, including speed, colors and brightness.
Pros
  • Comfortable, clicky switches
  • Easy to use
  • Comfortable typing experience
Cons
  • Tiring switches
  • Loud click
