As a world-renowned computer hardware manufacturer, MSI technology continues to achieve breakthrough innovation in the research and development of new products, and continues to enrich major product lines. At CES 2022 earlier this year, MSI unveiled a new flagship mechanical keyboard, the VIGOR GK71 SONIC.
The VIGOR GK71 SONIC features excellent linear pressing and a light trigger feel, and is powered by the MSI SONIC Red Axis, developed in collaboration with MSI and Kaihua. With lighter trigger pressure, faster reaction times and lighter tapping sensations, users can achieve the thrill of instant killing and complete the domination of the arena during the game. MSI SONIC Shafts — The MSISONIC Red Axis is the result of close collaboration between MSI and Kaihua and has a lifetime of 70 million clicks. It uses an optimized linear feel to provide users with a superior gaming experience.
35g trigger pressure, 4mm total stroke, 1.9mm trigger stroke brings lighter trigger pressure and slightly shorter trigger stroke, which can quickly respond to the user's pressing operation and reduce finger fatigue caused by long-term use.
In the choice of keycaps, MSI GK71 uniquely adopts a double-layer transparent keycap, and the bottom adopts transparent treatment, which has higher light transmittance, which can bring more brilliant lighting performance when the RGB is turned on.
A multimedia control area has been added to the upper right corner of the keyboard, providing up and down track switching, start/pause, volume adjustment, and quick mute. Use the smart dual-touch volume wheel and dedicated media keys at your fingertips at the top or side to make it easy to control your music media even in the game.
The bottom of the keyboard adopts an X-type hidden cable design, which is convenient for users to pass other cables such as keyboard cables and headphone cables from the bottom of the keyboard, fix the desktop cable and keep the desktop clean, and further strengthen the user's experience.
Like the previous MSI high-end flagship keyboards GK80 and GK71, a matching keyboard handrail is provided, with dimensions of 438mm x 38mm. The hand rest uses a high-quality memory sponge, which is light and soft to use, and can alleviate the fatigue of using the keyboard for a long time for the hands and wrists.
Built-in on-board memory allows users to customize and store up to 3 profiles, including settings, lighting effects, macro keys, and switch profiles via MSI center. At the same time, GK71 also supports full-key no-flush and media combination buttons to achieve light effect switching, brightness adjustment, color switching and other functions.
