Conclusion: MSI Strike Pro Wireless
Introduction
When the package containing the MSI Strike Pro Wireless arrived, the scene almost resembled the awakening of a dragon. Heavy, elegant, and with a certain aura, the keyboard landed on the desk. From the very beginning, it was clear: this is not just an ordinary work tool, but a well-thought-out fusion of technology, ergonomics, and design. This conclusion reflects the impressions gathered during intensive daily use – complemented by the technical specifications provided by MSI.
Typing Experience
The strength of the Strike Pro Wireless lies in its pleasant typing feel. MSI relies on Kailh Midnight Pro Silent Tactile switches, which are deliberately designed to be quieter than classic mechanical switches. The typing noise is significantly reduced without losing tactile feedback.
Typing produces a soft yet clear response that satisfies both fingers and ears. This quiet yet perceptible click has something poetic about it: it resembles the barely audible wingbeat of a dragon gliding over the mountains.
The switches respond quickly and precisely, appealing not only to heavy typists but also to gamers. Longer writing sessions are possible without fatigue. Here, the calm of a dampened keyboard merges with the power of precise input.
Stability and Ergonomics
A keyboard must not only feel pleasant to use but also remain stable on the desk. This is where the Strike Pro Wireless demonstrates its quality. It stays firmly in place, even during intense gaming sessions or energetic typing.
The height adjustment works easily and effectively. With just a few moves, the angle can be changed to ensure ergonomic hand positioning. This is complemented by the included wrist rest, which attaches magnetically. Filled with memory foam, it offers comfort without compromising stability.
The construction feels well-thought-out and solid – as if the dragon were deeply rooted in the rock, impossible to dislodge from its lair.
Lighting
MSI equips the Strike Pro Wireless with RGB backlighting, though it is deliberately subtle. The keycaps themselves are not translucent, and the illumination is located only beneath them. As a result, the effect is not an overwhelming light show but rather a restrained glow that sets a pleasant mood on the desk.
Through the software, various modes and colors can be customized. Whether a single subtle tone or dynamic effects, the user is in full control. In daily use, the restraint convinces: the light is present but never distracting – almost like the soft glow of a dragon’s breath.
Connection and USB-C Port
A highlight is the magnetic USB-C port. It works similarly to Apple’s MagSafe: the cable locks securely in place but disconnects instantly if pulled too strongly. This prevents damage and extends the keyboard’s lifespan.
Especially in setups where cables can get in the way, this system proves very practical. Accidentally tripping over the cable no longer results in the keyboard being pulled down or the port being damaged – instead, the connection simply detaches. It is the kind of protection one would expect from a dragon’s armor.
Battery Life
One of the Strike Pro Wireless’s biggest strengths is its extremely long battery life. Equipped with a 4200 mAh battery, MSI advertises up to 1500 hours of usage.
Of course, actual runtime depends on how intensively the RGB lighting is used. Still, even with lighting enabled, the battery lasts for many days. Without lighting or with minimal use, weeks can pass before charging is needed.
Charging takes around seven hours, but the keyboard remains usable during the process. This ensures uninterrupted operation. It feels like the dragon is drawing a deep breath, storing its energy, and then radiating strength for a long time again.
Memory Profiles
Gamers in particular will benefit from the three integrated memory banks. They make it possible to store different profiles directly on the keyboard.
One profile might be optimized for fast shooters with reduced lighting and custom macros, another for strategy games with complex key combinations, and a third for productivity and text work – the Strike Pro Wireless adapts flexibly.
Because the profiles are stored on the keyboard itself, they are independent of the PC. Users who switch between different systems always have their configurations with them. The three memory banks are like a dragon’s treasures, guarded faithfully and presented at the right moment.

Overall Assessment
The MSI Strike Pro Wireless is a keyboard that sets standards in many respects. Its quiet yet precise typing experience, solid build quality, long battery life, and thoughtful details such as the magnetic USB-C port and memory profiles make it a reliable companion.
It is suitable both for users who type long texts daily and for gamers who value precision and comfort. The lighting is subtle, the ergonomics convincing, and the overall equipment high-quality.
Of course, the Strike Pro Wireless is not ideal for everyone. Those who prefer a flashy RGB spectacle or translucent keycaps may want to look elsewhere.

In conclusion, the Strike Pro Wireless is no short-lived fashion item but a keyboard that convinces through durability, functionality, and comfort. It combines technical refinement with a clear design and demonstrates that MSI also strikes the right note in the field of peripherals.
