The Vigor GK80 represents the top of the line for MSI's range of gaming keyboards. At the time of review, the street price was a penny under £160, which means getting into the ring with market-leading products like the Razer Black Widow Chroma V2, Corsair's K70 RGB and the Alloy Elite RGB from HyperX. Tough challenge. When the bell rings after the final punch has landed, will the GK80 still be standing?
We recently reviewed the GK80's little brother, the MSI Vigor GK40, which was a membrane keyboard with a ‘mechanical feel'. The GK80, however, is a proper mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Red switches.
