MSI shows first gaming laptop with mechanical keyboard

Manufacturer MSI has shown its first gaming laptop with a mechanical keyboard. The GT80 has a keyboard from the manufacturer Cherry and according to MSI the keys are more than five times as high as normal keys on a laptop.

MSI thinks the Cherry keys on the GT80 can make a big difference when gaming, as they click better and give more feedback than normal laptop keys: they are 27mm high, while normal keys on a laptop are about 5mm high . The keys on the ramp are of the MX Cherry Brown type and have a stainless steel spring. According to MSI, it is the first laptop with a mechanical keyboard to date.

MSI has not yet disclosed further details about the hardware. The manufacturer does say that the 18-inch laptop is thinner and lighter than its competitors with the same screen size. It is unclear when MSI will announce more about the laptop. It is also not yet known when the laptop should be released and how much it will cost.
