CHERRY XTRFY, the specialist for high-quality gaming gear presents its new K5V2 keyboard – the first to use the new mechanical MX full-size switches. The company unveiled the new gaming keyboard with the new MX2A switches in August 2023 at gamescom LAN in Cologne and the keyboard is now on sale to the public.
CHERRY redefines the 65% keyboard class with the new K5V2 Compact available in black and transparent white. Combining well-known CHERRY quality with a timelessly modern design and the durable mechanical MX2A Red switches the advanced per-key RGB illumination stands out from the crowd with its innovative strip LED technology, which can be further enhanced with the USB 3 mode.
Build Your Own
For those looking to add more personality, the keyboard can be customised via the CHERRY XTRFY online store. Choose from different layouts, switches, frames, keycaps and cables and create something truly bespoke.
At 325x110x37 millimetres, it is one of the smallest gaming keyboards in the CHERRY XTRFY portfolio with a footprint of just 65% of a conventional keyboard. With a weight of 841 grams, the keyboard sits securely on the desk even during intensive gaming sessions and settings such as macros or media control, are made via simple key combinations; no additional software needs to be installed.
Uncompromising Quality
Despite its compact dimensions, CHERRY XTRFY does not compromise on quality.A solid metal plate and a double layer of sound-absorbing foam inside not only gives the keyboard weight, but also ensure high torsional rigidity resulting in a quality typing experience and pleasant sound. A detachable USB cable with a textile sheath rounds off the features.
100 percent anti-ghosting and a polling rate of 1000 Hz come as standard on the K5V2 but CHERRY XTRFY goes one step further with Super Scan technology. All keys are scanned every half a millisecond making it the ideal tool for pro gamers; something which will be put to the test when CHERRY sponsors Gamescom LAN in March where top gamers from around the world will play against each other during the three day event
The First Gaming Keyboard With The New CHERRY MX2A Red Switches
At the heart of the CHERRY XTRFY K5V2 are the mechanical MX2A switches, a transformative upgrade to the CHERRY MX which are used in more than 60 million keyboards worldwide. With precisely applied premium-grade lubricant and a new innovative spring design, the MX2A brings you smoother actuation and improved acoustics. The Red version of the switches has a linear characteristic and, thanks to the proven gold crosspoint contacts, offers an enormous durability of more than 100 million taps without any loss of quality.

The CHERRY XTRFY K5V2 will be available from 15th March 2024 in Black and Transparent White. Prices start at £119 for the black model and £128 for the transparent white version.
