When MSI sent me their Vigor GK80 mechanical keyboard earlier in the year, I was only able to test the version that came with red Cherry MX switches. You may recall, however, that it’s also available with silver Cherry MX switches as well. Well, now I can finally give you a proper verdict on which one’s better, as the silver Vigor GK80 has just arrived on top of my testing pile. Below, you’ll find my original review of the Vigor GK80, plus a new section detailing how the red and silver keys differ and what they feel like for typing and gaming.
Even better, MSI has lowered the original price of the Vigor GK80 since I first reviewed it, so it now costs £145 (red / silver) in the UK and $130 in the US (red), as opposed to their original prices of £160 / $150. At time of writing, MSI are also giving away free $20 Steam vouchers on eligible keyboards, mice and headsets (including the Vigor GK80) until August 31 while stocks last, making it even better value than before.
