The GK71 Sonic, like many other MSI accessories, is compatible with MSI's Dragon Center software, where you may adjust the RGB lighting and program shortcuts. In addition, up to three user profiles can be saved locally on the keyboard, making it easy to toggle between them.
There's not much going on at the backside. It has rubber feet and you can use standoffs as well to allow a little more height and create an angled position. The keyboard feels heavy (it is just over 1.25 KG), and combined with rubber feet will ensure you from the keyboard sliding away. It has a very tight grip on my rather slippery desktop. The keyboard has standoffs so you can have the backside a little higher and type in a better angled position. Everything has rubber inserts, the keyboards sits well and sturdy on my slippery desk.
The GK71 Sonic's wrist rest is an integral part of the keyboard's high-end aesthetic. The MSI-branded, memory-foam pad extends the GK71 Sonic's base and improves its ergonomics in the process. In particular, the cable routing features built into the base of the support are responsible for this.
The Vigor GK71 is a full-size keyboard that provides a sturdy and stable typing experience. With a heavy construction and finished aluminum coating, the keyboard boasts little flex, making it ideal for intensive gaming sessions or writing tasks. The anti-slip feet keep the keyboard firmly in place, even on smooth surfaces, and you need to apply considerable force to shift the board, making it a positive surprise given its small legs.
