MSI appears to have added the STRIKE 600 V2 to its gaming keyboard lineup, introducing a new revision focused on quiet operation, premium construction, and customisable functionality. The STRIKE 600 V2 combines Kailh Midnight Pro Silent Tactile switches with a multi-layer sound-dampening structure and an aircraft-grade aluminium top cover. It also includes per-key RGB lighting, dedicated media controls, onboard profiles, and MSI Center support, positioning it as a premium silent keyboard within MSI’s STRIKE series.
Kailh Midnight Pro Silent Tactile Switches
The MSI STRIKE 600 V2 uses Kailh Midnight Pro Silent Tactile switches rated for less than 35 dB of noise. The switches feature a 45 gf operating force, 55 gf tactile bump, 1.9 mm pre-travel, and 3.7 mm total travel, with an integrated muffler pad and a rated lifespan of 70 million keystrokes.
Multi-Layer Sound Dampening
MSI has equipped the keyboard with multiple sound-dampening layers designed to reduce typing noise, resonance, and unwanted vibration. The construction combines silent switches with an IXPE switch pad, PET sound-dampening pad, latex foam, and a silicone bottom-case pad for a quieter and more refined typing experience.
Aircraft-Grade Aluminium Construction
An aircraft-grade aluminium alloy top cover provides additional rigidity while giving the STRIKE 600 V2 a premium appearance. The matte finish is paired with a floating keycap design for a clean, modern aesthetic.
Media Controls And Volume Wheel
The keyboard includes dedicated media keys alongside a dual-touch volume wheel that can be operated from the top or side. This provides quick access to volume and media controls without interrupting gameplay or other tasks.
Customisable Profiles And MSI Center
Hybrid 6+N key rollover enables multiple simultaneous key presses, while three onboard profiles allow users to switch between different configurations. MSI Center provides additional customisation for hotkeys and other keyboard functions.
Ergonomic Design And Cable Management
The MSI STRIKE 600 V2 uses ergonomic high-low keycaps designed to improve comfort during extended use. Adjustable feet allow users to set their preferred typing angle, while integrated cable routing helps maintain a cleaner desktop setup.
MSI Mystic Light RGB
Per-key RGB lighting provides individual lighting control across the keyboard, with support for up to 16 million colours and customisable effects through MSI Mystic Light. The lighting can also be synchronised with other compatible components and peripherals.
