Key information
The CHERRY XTRFY K5 PRO TMR RGB V2 is an evolved magnetic gaming keyboard emphasizing speed, precision, and adjustability. Reviewed by an experienced FPS player, the unit comes in a 65% compact layout featuring a white translucent chassis, side-printed OSHID frosted PBT keycaps, and distinct red accents with the CHERRY XTRFY logo.
The reviewer notes that the keyboard utilizes MK II second-generation magnetic switches paired with TMR magnetoresistive sensing, an aluminum positioning plate, an integrated dual-sided dust wall, and barrel springs. The switches offer a 3.5mm total travel distance and a light 30gf initial actuation force, increasing to 45gf at a 2.0mm depth.
For acoustics, the reviewer praises the multi-layer silencing structure, which includes Poron sandwich foam, IXPE switch pads, PET sound-enhancing pads, and bottom silencing foam. This configuration produces a clean majong-style sound without hollow echoes or rattling noises.
Assessing gaming performance in CS2 and Valorant, the reviewer reports exceptional rapid stopping and high stability with 0.01mm Rapid Trigger precision and no accidental movements. Additionally, the SnapKey function, 8KHz polling rate, and 16KHz scanning rate significantly enhance fluid movement and direction switching during fast skirmishes.
