MSI VIGOR GK30 COMBO White Gaming Keyboard (UK Layout) + Gaming Mouse Bundle - Mech-Membrane Switches, 6-Zone RGB Lighting Keyboard, Dual-Zone RGB Lighting Mouse, 5000 DPI Optical Sensor, Symmetrical

Really nice TKL keyboard. I got a good deal at prime day and had a voucher to apply and felt it was the best value for what dosh I had to spend, and felt I didn't want to go down the full custom route.The important thing - the keycaps and switches. The linear switches are light and exceptionally smooth and are KTT purple star's and are south facing. I'm unsure of the key profile but they have a nice slightly textured feel and are PBT double shot. The font used is a bit weird with a mixture of upper and lower case, though is readable ("gamery?"). The keys sound great and the stabs are very smooth.The LCD lighting is strong with vibrant colour with nice animations and is tunable with key shortcuts and the built in screen. The screen shows what device is connected and battery power and allows you to select from 20 lighting presets with tunable brightness, speeds and main colours, plus an off setting.The WiFi connection with included dongle is fine with no appreciable lag and connected by USB is fine also. I have not tried Bluetooth.The 2 stage height adjustment is fine with strong legs that are rubber capped. Also there are 4 hefty rubber feet to use flat, and have great traction. The usb cable has rear and left and right routing. The board is weighty and feels like a premium device.DownsidesYou can only change settings on the board with the screen - no MSI app for this (yet?) and perhaps they think it doesn't need app support? I would have liked to setup game spefic profiles myself.The screen is only a keyboard status indicator and programmer for lights. There is no date time or any other programmability.It is a little creaky if you twist it but that's a bit extreme.If you have usb plugged and routed out the side there is a bit of strain on the cable just after the connector.But saying these downsides, it's is really smooth to type with and feels nice when gaming, looks good and feels solid, so i can't mark it down for those, it's a great package.

This combo set of MSI keyboard and mouse it a nice addition to a gaming desktop set up, particularly if you have an MSI motherboard and MSI centre on your machine.In terms of usability, my other keyboards are mechanicals and this keyboard measures up pretty well. It has a nice feel to it and the key layout is good. Key size is average so typing on it took very little change for me. The response is quick too, so everything I need for gaming or doing something that requires typing longer text - like this review.The mouse is also good. Response is decent and it has a nice feel. It is quite a compact mouse so if you prefer a large size this may not be the one for you. It is just about right for me, but definitely smaller than previous ones. In terms of gaming and general use though, it picks up well and is a nice mouse to use.If you do have MSI Centre installed then this co-ordinates nicely. Mystic Light will coordinate all the lighting across all the items. And the Gaming Gear section will allow easy customisation of the mouse.Overall I think this is a good value set, great for general use and gaming, and definitely recommended if you want to co-ordinate across the MSI ecosystem.

This keyboard feels good to type, took me a while to get to use to it as buttons are quite high compared to my old keyboard.Letters look different as well but I guess it’s individual thing.Light can be adjusted individually to each key in MSI app. Brightness and other default light modes using MSI button on keyboard which is nice and quick.Overall very good keyboard.

I recently purchased the MSI VIGOR GK30 Gaming Keyboard and Gaming Mouse Bundle, and I must say it's an excellent choice for gamers on a budget. Here's what I think about this combo:Keyboard (4/5): The keyboard is well-built and feels solid. It's equipped with membrane switches that provide a tactile feel while remaining relatively quiet. While it doesn't have the mechanical key feel of higher-end keyboards, it's more than adequate for gaming and regular typing tasks.Mouse (4/5): The mouse, which comes with an ergonomic design, is comfortable for extended gaming sessions. Its precise sensor and customizable DPI settings make it suitable for a wide range of games. The RGB lighting adds a nice touch, and MSI's software allows for further customization.Customization and Lighting (4/5): Both the keyboard and mouse offer RGB lighting, a feature not commonly found in this price range. The keyboard's lighting is customizable with pre-set effects, although it doesn't have the same level of customization as more premium models. The mouse's RGB lighting is quite impressive and adds a visually appealing element to your gaming setup.Features (3/5): The bundle offers great value for the price, but it does come with a few limitations. The keyboard's non-detachable cable could be a minor inconvenience for some users. Additionally, customization options on the keyboard are more basic compared to higher-end gaming keyboards.In conclusion, the MSI VIGOR GK30 Combo Gaming Keyboard and Mouse Bundle provides an affordable and reliable gaming experience. The solid build quality, customizable RGB lighting, and comfortable design make it a great choice for gamers looking for a budget-friendly solution. While it may lack some advanced features, it offers a solid gaming experience for the price. If you're a gamer on a budget, this combo is definitely worth considering.I hope this review helps other potential buyers in making an informed decision about the MSI VIGOR GK30 Combo. Happy gaming!
