While this can be helpful for gaming, it can contribute to accidental inputs while typing or gaming. This creates the feeling that the keyboard is “faster” to type on despite registering keypresses at the same speed as any other keyboard. These switches register a keypress higher than most other switches, meaning you have to press them down less to get an output - much like Cherry’s MX Speed Silver. When typing on these keys, I noticed that much of the “lightness” of the switches was not actually from the springs’ weight, but from the switches’ actuation point.

The GK71 Sonic's ultra-light 35-gram switch springs compare to a Cherry MX Red’s 45-gram spring and an MX Black’s 60-gram spring, both of which are noticeably heavier and, for many gamers, will feel slower to use.

MSI’s “Sonic Red” switches - manufactured by Kailh - feel reminiscent of recent trends in mouse design: The idea that “ lighter is always better” has overtaken the gaming industry since the release of the original Finalmouse Ultralight Pro gaming mouse, and it seems this has finally transferred over to the keyboard market.

While it does have some clear benefits, it ends up ultimately feeling underwhelming when compared to other brands’ offerings, lacking the build quality and typing feel one would look for in a keyboard retailing above $100. The keyboard has three multimedia controls, a dial on the top-right corner, and is stylized heavily to appeal to the gamer aesthetic. MSI's GK71 Sonic is a full-size mechanical keyboard with pudding-style keycaps, ultra-light switches, and a fairly standard plate-mount system in a low-profile case. Instead, the main attraction is the incredibly bright and colorful RGB array, and the keycaps that accentuate it. Sure, the GK71 Sonic offers options like their new 35-gram switches and boasts a 1,000Hz response rate, but none of these are what really stands out about this mechanical keyboard. MSI’s newest keyboard - the GK71 Sonic - is meant to be bright. Others are meant to be useful, with optical switches, ultra-fast response rates, and lots of customization. Some gaming keyboards are meant to be luxurious, with programmable macros, full-metal construction, and thick keycaps.
