Compact tenkeyless gaming keyboard

The MSI Vigor GK50 Elite TKL is a mechanical keyboard built for players who want a smaller desk footprint without losing full key functionality. It uses Kailh Red linear switches rated at 50gf actuation force for consistent, smooth keystrokes. A detachable USB Type-C cable connects via USB 2.0 for wired reliability. Three onboard profiles store lighting, macros and settings directly on the board.

Detachable cable and adjustable tilt

The removable USB Type-C cable reduces wear during transport and lets you pack the keyboard in the included drawstring bag. Two flip-out feet provide three distinct typing angles so you can set a comfortable wrist position. The ergonomic high-low keycap profile encourages a natural hand posture during long sessions. No palm rest is included, keeping the layout minimal.

Upgrade from membrane or full-size boards

Users moving from a standard membrane keyboard gain mechanical precision and per-key rollover for faster input recognition. The tenkeyless form factor frees up mouse space compared to a full-size deck, which benefits low-sensitivity players. Buyers who need a dedicated number pad or wireless connectivity should look elsewhere, as this model is wired and omits the numeric cluster.

Questions about this item

What does the USB 2.0 interface limit for this keyboard?

The USB 2.0 connection carries power and data for the keyboard, including backlight control and the three onboard profiles, without needing extra drivers on Windows 10 or above.

What are the exact dimensions I need to clear on my desk for the TKL layout?

The board measures 354 mm wide, 140 mm deep and 33 mm tall, so allow at least that footprint plus room for the detachable USB Type-C cable.

How do I set up the three adjustable tilt angles, and what step is often missed?

Flip out the two rear feet; each foot adds a distinct angle, giving three total positions. The step often missed is pressing both feet firmly until they click into the same notch so the keyboard sits level.
