MSI’s new Strike Alloy has almost every gaming keyboard buzzword thrown at it, with TMR, 8k, and rapid trigger, and you can even use it underwater
MSI has unveiled the Strike Alloy, a gaming keyboard packed with premium specifications designed to appeal to competitive gamers. The peripheral features several advanced gaming technologies including an 8K polling rate, rapid trigger functionality, TMR connectivity, and most notably, water resistance that allows the keyboard to function even when submerged.
The keyboard’s waterproof capability was demonstrated at Computex, where MSI dunked the wired keyboard underwater to prove its durability. According to coverage from We Do Tech, the keyboard continued to operate while submerged, though the article notes that water resistance may have some impact on overall performance.
