Pros

• Brushed metal plate looks great and adds rigidity
• Nice and bright, per key, RGB
• Keys are not grease prone
• Extra, included, CTRL and ALT convex keys
• Good tactile and audible feedback
• Full range of media keys
• Software is great
• Good performance in gaming

Cons

• Kink friendly cord
• Slightly heavier resistance when pressing the buttons but we soon got used to it
• Nothing really stands out spec, visually or comfort, wise other than the great RGB and the free key caps

KitGuru says: We like MSI's Vigor GK50 Elite, there is nothing to complain about but equally nothing to rave about either. It's an all-round solid keyboard that performs excellently but isn't boasting new technology that will turn heads. If you're after a upper-mid-range keyboard this may be worth considering!
