When it comes to gaming keyboards those serious about their game time would probably limit the search to the many mechanical offerings out there. That is keyboard with mechanical per-key switches for that added dose of precision and tactile feel. The MSI Vigor GK50 Elite falls into this category, and does so with an eye towards affordability.

A snippet.

The MSI Vigor GK50 Elite is a mechanical keyboard, one featuring Kailh switches and a sleek minimal design that would suit just about any setup. The kicker though is that at $119 AUS it just so happens to be one of the most affordable on the market. And as we’ve seen with other MSI peripherals recently (the MSI Clutch GM50 Gaming Mouse and the MSI Immerse Gaming Headset), this affordability arrives alongside impressive performance and got-to-have features like software support and per-key RGB action.

Even though the MSI Vigor GK50 Elite falls into the affordable range of mechanical keyboards, it does so without any immediate compromises. The brushed metal top-plate, the vibrant lighting, and the somewhat uniquely octagonal keycaps all sport a distinct style that is very much in-line with MSI’s overall aesthetic. It’s a looker, and the traditional MSI dragon logo is presented in a way that fits in perfectly too. Above all though it’s sturdy and the build quality is great.
