Product Overview

MSI VIGOR GK50 LOW PROFILE is a mid-range mechanical keyboard that features Kailh Low Profile switches, brushed aluminum top plate, and per-key RGB lighting.
Naturally, the VIGOR GK50 LOW PROFILE supports 100% anti-ghosting with N-key rollover. Its Kailh Low Profile switches offer high actuation speed (1.5mm actuation distance) that many gamers and typists prefer. It also provides a moderate 3mm total travel. The switch's tactile feel is designed to mimic that of Cherry MX Red switches.
Design-wise, the VIGOR GK50 LOW PROFILE features unique octagonal keycaps that complement the keyboard's design.
MSI also markets a number of other mechanical keyboards, including the full-height GK50 ELITE.

Reviewers from tomshardware have found:
The Vigor GK50's use of speedy switches and well-designed keycaps seemed to heighten my speed. The keyboard is supposed to work with MSI Dragon Center software, but at the time of this writing the software won't download properly. Despite lacking software, I was able to test out 8 different color effects, plus off.
Pros
  • High-quality mechanical switches
  • Comfortable keyboard
  • Solid build quality
Cons
  • Spacebar isn't as easy to press as other buttons
  • No RGB lighting
