In recent years, the Taiwanese manufacturer MSI has significantly expanded its influence on the market for products for gamers, offering not only laptops and components, but also quite interesting peripherals. So, in the Vigor series, MSI produces relatively inexpensive gaming keyboards with high quality control, different types of button switches and things that are mandatory for gaming keyboards like game mode, anti-ghosting and KRO. In fact, they have everything you need to dominate online or just enjoy the game, while they do not have any flashy, but few useful things that will not necessarily help in battle, but at the same time will significantly affect the price of the device.


Unlike most manufacturers who stick to the "metal plate + Skeleton keys" formula, MSI's designers try to give the keyboards a little personality. Some Vigor models have a dragon silhouette engraved on the body (note: MSI logo), others have a changed shape and convexity of the keycaps, and others may have low-set keys like laptop keyboards. To keep the price below $100, the Taiwanese manufacturer is sometimes forced to save on unobtrusive but practical things like cable braid, metal base, built-in memory or multimedia keys.

As for the assortment, all keyboards are divided into classes. Vigor 20 is a relatively inexpensive gaming model with classic membrane switches and simple multi-color backlighting, which is best suited for beginner gamers. The slightly more expensive Vigor 30 features more precise and durable mechanical membrane switches and full MSI Mystic Light Sync RGB lighting. Well, the older Vigor 50 is a purebred mechanic with not quite ordinary white switches from Kailh, a reinforced base and individual backlighting for each key. In addition to these trio, MSI has released several modifications of Vigor in TKL and Low Profile formats, as well as several keyboard + mouse combo sets.
