The box for the MSI GK-601 is eye catching, with its stark yellow and black contrasting scheme. However once its drawn your eye, it really just wants you to touch the keys and feel what Cherry Red switches feel like.
The lid also flips open to – along with the back – showcase some of the keyboard's features, including its braided cable, inbuilt memory, gold connectors and “humanity operation interface,” which I think is the code word for the software, but I'm far from certain.
Accessories wise, you get a simple set up manual and a driver CD. If you've not had a fancy keyboard before, you might wonder why a driver CD would be necessary, but it is so that you can remap certain keys to perform different functions, as well as setting up macro commands.
Also included is a key changing tool and four bright yellow direction keys, so you can either replace your WASD with these if you are a shooter fan, or the directional keys if you prefer.
