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!

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
