The new MSI Strike 600 is a silent mechanical keyboard targeting gamers and workers
MSI may be best known for PC components like motherboards, but it's developing a growing line of gaming peripherals. The wired MSI Strike 600 is the brand's latest gaming keyboard, emphasizing quiet typing. While it's not hot-swappable, MSI hopes that the silent mechanical keyboard will have mass appeal. Kailh Midnight Pro Silent Tactile switches promise low-noise but satisfying typing catering to gaming and productivity. The Strike 600 is already available at MSI's store for $79.99 and should reach more retailers shortly.
The full-size Strike 600 resists the trend of increasingly compact keyboards. However, the added space is enough for a smart dual-touch volume wheel and three other media keys. When unlit, the aluminum-colored keyboard has an industrial look that suits modern offices. Once owners activate its per-key RGB lighting, the Strike 600 becomes more familiar gaming gear. With Mystic Light, gamers can sync the keyboard's effects with MSI's popular motherboards.
Of course, the main selling point of the MSI Strike 600 is its silent tactile switches. MSI claims noise levels are kept below 35dB, which isn't groundbreaking for a silent keyboard. Still, that rating competes with more low-profile designs like the Logitech MX Keys S. The Strike 600's taller octagonal keys exhibit 1.9mm pre-travel and 3.7mm total travel distances. MSI has further dampened case pinging on the already quiet mechanical keyboard with layers of sound-dampening foam.
The MSI Strike 600 faces fierce competition from brands like Logitech, Razer, and SteelSeries. Nevertheless, when assembling an all-MSI build, buyers now have more choices to complete a setup.
