MSI has gained recognition for its computer components that contribute to the production of powerful gaming PCs that everyone desires. The company continuously aims to enhance its ecosystem and, in recent years, has introduced various gaming gear products under the brand name Forge, which have made a significant impact in the market. Recently, the company launched the Forge GK300 keyboard alongside the Forge GM100 gaming mouse, both of which stand out for their affordable prices and quality.
The Forge GK300 is a full-sized keyboard featuring a standard layout that gamers are quite familiar with. The product offers a solid feel with a metal top plate and a sleek dark gray finish. The keys are closely positioned on the surface and are enhanced with RGB LED lighting, creating a visually striking color effect.
Constructed with durability in mind, the Forge GK300 features clicky switches designed by MSI, providing a tactile response that is quite satisfying. Although the clicking sound is prominent, it is notably quieter compared to popular Cherry switches, ensuring it does not become overly distracting while gaming.
The keyboard’s key response is generally responsive, but certain longer keys may feel slightly off-balance, resulting in some wobbling sounds when pressed.
One of the standout features of this keyboard is its Anti-Ghosting technology, supporting up to 26 simultaneous key presses, ensuring that gamers can execute commands without missing any inputs. The MSI software allows users to customize the RGB lighting, offering a range of stunning effects that are particularly appealing to ROG fans.
The Forge GM100 is a basic gaming mouse designed with a comfortable grip suitable for various gaming styles. It features a total of 7 buttons, allowing users to customize settings through the MSI software. The RGB LED system can also be easily adjusted.
The primary buttons of the mouse are equipped with switches rated for 10 million clicks. In practical use, the MSI Forge GM100 performs well alongside both left and right buttons, a common feature among high-end FPS gaming mice.
The mouse sensor supports a maximum DPI of 6400 and can be customized according to user preferences, with preset settings of 1000, 1600, 3200, and 6400. The accuracy of the MSI Forge GM100 is commendable, providing a satisfying gaming experience without any noticeable lag.
