Review: MSI VIGOR GK80 Keyboard & CLUTCH GM70 Mouse

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 05/16/2018 08:09 AM | source: | 7 comment(s)

We review not one, but two MSI products, meet the MSI Vigor GK80 Keyboard and Clutch GM70 Mouse. The products we have today are certainly aimed at the traditional 'gamer,' for sure. It's often said that peripherals marked as gaming ready can vary fairly wildly in their quality, and it does seem that you can slap the term on any product you feel like, and mark the price up accordingly.

I quite like the look of the keyboard but for that money you might as well get the Ducky Shine 6 with PBT keycaps and be done with it.

I'm still waiting with baited breath for what your WPM is, rather than INSERT WPM HERE

Great review Hilbert!

It has so much RGB packed into it, that table is glowing. For me all this RGB nonsense is just a distraction and unnecessary price inflation.

Besides MX Red's are really soft resulting in frequent misclicks. At least in case of my bear paws, MX Black is the preffered choice in my case.

180 euros = $212, that's quite the mark up compared with the US cost of $160 ! MSI can go swivel.

I don't about you, but to me the Logitech Gaming Software is utterly rubbish and useless. That's why I have been on the lookout for a new keyboard for quite a while. And the GK80 has caught my eyes, the UI of the software look find to, but I have some reservation about its ease of use and responsiveness. So I've been reading reviews to find out whether it is up to the task. And since you said it's not as good as the Logitech Gaming Software, my doubt remains.
