Info & tech specs

The MSI Vigor GK71 Sonic is a full-sized keyboard that is designed to appeal to RGB lighting enthusiasts. The keyboard features pudding keycaps, which are designed to showcase RGB lighting in a bright and colourful manner. The clear bottom half of the keycaps allows for the lighting to shine through, creating a dazzling effect. However, the design may reduce the light that shines through the top of the keys.

In terms of build quality, the GK71 Sonic has a solid plastic frame topped with an aluminium plate, which gives the keyboard a premium look and feel. The metal surface also provides added durability, and the keyboard includes convenient features such as dedicated media controls, a kickstand, and cable routing.

The GK71 Sonic by MSI features keycaps that have been a highlight for this model. After using the keyboard for writing and gaming purposes, the clear caps proved to be comfortable to touch. The mixture of plastics resulted in a well-balanced weight distribution that made typing a smooth experience.

MSI's Sonic Blue switches, in partnership with Kailh, were designed to reduce the actuation force required for a keystroke, resulting in effortless typing. While the switches didn't necessarily reduce fatigue during long gaming sessions, they contributed to the smooth typing experience.
