MSI GK50Z Blue Switch Mechanical Keyboard

The MSI GK50Z is a full-size wired gaming keyboard with 104 mechanical keys and clicky blue switches rated for 50 million clicks. It features RGB backlighting with dual light stripes, N-key rollover and a Windows lock function. The spill-resistant chassis measures 445 by 133 by 38 mm and connects via a 1.8 m USB cable. No driver installation is required for basic operation.

What to check before ordering

Verify that you have a free USB Type-A port on your PC or laptop for the wired connection. The 1.8 m cable length should reach your port without strain. Blue switches produce an audible click, so consider whether the noise level suits your environment. The keyboard has a fixed 104-key layout with no detachable wrist rest included in the package.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This keyboard suits gamers and typists who want a tactile clicky feel, full RGB lighting and a durable spill-resistant build at a standard layout. Buyers who prefer quiet linear or tactile switches without an audible click should look elsewhere. Users needing a compact tenkeyless form factor, wireless connectivity or dedicated macro keys will not find those features here.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and is anything else needed to use it?

The box contains the keyboard and a contact card; no extra parts or software are required because the USB cable plugs straight in and works without drivers.

Which switch type should I pick for clicky feedback and audible actuation?

This model uses Blue switches that give a tactile bump and a distinct click on every press, rated for 50 million clicks.

What does the 104-key layout with N-key rollover mean during fast gameplay?

All 104 keys can register simultaneously over the USB connection so no command is dropped even when many keys are held at once.
