FAQs

Does the keyboard support hot-swapping switches?

Yes, the K5 Pro TMR is designed to be hot-swappable, allowing for easy customization of your switch setup.

Can I use this keyboard on a Mac?

While it is designed primarily for PC gaming, it will function as a standard keyboard on macOS, though the advanced configuration software is optimized for Windows.

Is the cable detachable?

Yes, the keyboard features a detachable cable, making it easy to replace or pack for travel.

What does TMR sensing technology do differently than Hall effect?

TMR (Tunneling Magnetoresistance) sensors measure magnetic changes by tracking shifts in resistance, allowing for higher precision (0.01 mm) and more power-efficient operation than traditional Hall sensors.

How do I save settings to the keyboard?

Use the CHERRY MagCrate software to configure your settings, then select the 'Save to Device' or 'Apply to Onboard Memory' option within the software menu.

Does it have a numeric keypad?

It uses a 65% compact layout, which does not include a dedicated physical numeric keypad, though functions can be accessed via secondary layers.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard not responding or showing as unrecognized device

Disconnect the cable and reconnect it to a different USB port, preferably one directly on the motherboard back I/O.

Actuation points feel inconsistent

Open the CHERRY MagCrate software and reset the actuation profiles to default to recalibrate the magnetic sensors.

RGB lighting is flickering or incorrect

Update your keyboard firmware through the MagCrate software interface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely low input latency for competitive gaming
  • Highly granular control over actuation points
  • Compact 65% form factor increases mouse space
  • Sturdy build quality with sound-dampened typing experience
  • Onboard memory retains profiles without needing software running

Cons

  • Requires time to configure via MagCrate software
  • Limited key count compared to full-sized keyboards
  • ABS keycaps may show shine over long-term use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your keyboard, connect the included 2m cable to a USB Type-A port on your PC. For optimal performance, ensure your USB port supports the high polling rate. Download the CHERRY MagCrate software from the official support website to unlock advanced features like macro programming and per-key RGB adjustment.

Care Instructions:

  • Use a soft, dry brush to remove dust from between the switches periodically.
  • If cleaning keycaps, remove them gently and use a mild soap solution with water; ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
  • Do not expose the internal PCB to liquids or extreme humidity to protect the TMR sensors.
