XTRFY K5 Ultra-Customisable and Compact RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, UK Layout with Super-Scan Technology for Instant Response, Transparent White

Product Information

Mỗi switch cũng có thể thay thế dễ dàng nhờ tính năng hot-swap mà không cần hàn mạch như các bàn phím gaming truyền thống. Not sure if this magnetised logo is an intentional engineering choice, but, it’s my new favourite fidget toy when I am waiting and procrastinating – nice job Xtrfy! As with all of Xtrfy’s products, the K5 RGB Compact is driverless, meaning that you control its features via the board itself as opposed to through a software kit. Thay vào đó, toàn bộ tính năng điều chỉnh của phím được tích hợp thẳng lên bàn phím để thao tác trực tiếp cài đặt hoặc các điều chỉnh cần thiết trước khi sử dụng. This attaches to the board via a magnet and can as such be replaced too, but I find this to be a bit more finnicky than the top frame swap system.

This barebone version gives you the keyboard base only, so you can add your favorite switches, keycaps, cable, frame and other parts separately. Even if you’re not interested in modding your board, the K5 RGB Compact sounds like a great option, so we’ve sent one over to our reviewer to find out if it’s worth your money and time. Upon removing the protective foam, you are presented with the keyboard wrapped in opaque white tissue paper, adding to the unboxing suspense. Whether you prefer the full-size format or a compact, tenkeyless design, we bring you top-tier mechanical gaming keyboards that are heavy on performance but not on your wallet.Inside the box you’ll find a switch- and keycap puller, two replacement switches, the USB-C cable, a replacement plate to place next to the arrow keys, the usual documentation, and a sticker.

And to give you all possibilities of customizing your keyboard, everything from the switches and keycaps to the cable, frame and even the little plate for the logo is swappable. The response rates are as good as you are going to get from a wired keyboard for those clutch gaming moments yet, despite being marketed at ‘gamers’, offers quite a refined typing experience. I found that removing the keycaps and cleaning up some of the excess lube around the stabilizers helped to solve the issue and make the typing experience feel more consistent. Off the back of that, I managed to secure a few of the keyboards on the list directly from the manufacturers so I can take a closer look at what the eSports gamers are using in tournaments and such.It’s extremely thin and while it’s of course better than having nothing there at all I do feel like this could be improved. When milliseconds decide whether you win or lose, the CHERRY MX Speed Silver keeps you ahead of the competition. They thought of offering coiled cables and custom nameplates, but didn’t think to offer a decent set of keycaps. The K5 RGB Compact has a hotswap PCB, meaning that you can use pretty much any set of switchesthat you desire.
