Go MSI Crazy – GH50 Headset, GK50 TKL Keyboard & GM41 Mouse Review

I love my peripherals, I chop and change them all the time, but it’s rare that I get to test a single brand of peripherals together. So, I reached out to MSI and asked them for a Keyboard, a Mouse and a Headset, so that I could really get the vibe of what it’s like to live the solely MSI gamer life. They’re all mid-to-high-end peripherals, so not cheap, but certainly not hyper-expensive either, and all-in you can get the keyboard, the mouse, and the headset for a total of around £215.

That may sound like a lot of money to some, and fair enough, £215 doesn’t get spent unnoticed. However, let’s take a look at what you’ll get for your investment. A feature-packed multi-connectivity wireless headset with a detachable unidirectional microphone, a low-profile RGB-riddled slim mechanical gaming keyboard with the Kailh Choc White switches, and a lightweight (74 grams) wireless gaming mouse that features an impressive 20,000 DPI sensor and supports Nvidia Reflex. Obviously, that’s skimming the features list, but honestly, you’re getting some pretty slick gaming hardware here, stocked with competitive gaming-focused features.
