For some time now, MSI has been producing special versions of some of its products (mainly peripherals) in collaboration with leading titles from the world of video games. These include its Monster Hunter collection and, more recently, its STALKER 2 products(see our review here, or a graphics card here). This year, there are plenty of things in the same vein at Computex, but it’s a keyboard that has just made its mark. The Strike Pro Wireless is a keyboard presented by the brand at CES 2024. What we’re seeing today on the brand’s stand at Computex clearly has nothing to do with it… Even if no collab is announced, it’s hard not to make a link with a certain title…
MSI STRIKE Pro Wireless: a truly special edition
First of all, let’s stick to the technical side of things, based on the information we have at our disposal. This version of the MSI Strike PRO Wireless stands out for its multi-layer acoustic damping structure. This reduces switch noise. This makes typing quieter. The user experience is even more comfortable. It is equipped with KALIH switches. These switches offer a precise tactile response. Their noise level remains very low. This further enhances user comfort. As part of its top-of-the-range positioning, this keyboard is a hot-swappable model. The switches can be changed easily without having to disconnect the peripheral. They can be replaced with compatible models. This means you can customise the keyboard to suit your tastes. And it’s precisely the keys that made us love this keyboard…
It’s hard to say whether this version will be marketed with these keys, but whatever the case, we’ve learned that they’re made of PBT. There’s also a programmable multifunction dial. It can be configured via the MSI application. The multimedia keys are also customisable.
For comfort, there’s a padded wrist rest. But while this accessory improves comfort, it spoils the aesthetics of this version, let’s be honest.
Finally, it uses MSI SwiftSpeed 2.4G technology. This wireless connection is reliable. The experience is similar to that of a wired keyboard. Responsiveness is spot on.
