Product Information

Full details

The Cherry XTRFY K5 Pro TMR is designed for competitive gamers who demand ultra-responsive hardware and precise customization. Its standout benefit is the combination of 8000 Hz polling and magnetic TMR sensing switches, which deliver near-instantaneous input latency and 0.01 mm precision. One notable caveat is the 65% form factor, which omits a dedicated function row and numpad, requiring users to rely on function layers for certain key inputs.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this keyboard support wireless connection?

No, the K5 Pro TMR is a wired-only device designed to support an 8000 Hz polling rate, which requires a stable USB connection.

Can I use this keyboard with a Mac?

The keyboard will function as a standard input device on macOS, but the advanced customization software (Cherry MagCrate) is only available for Windows.

What does TMR stand for?

TMR refers to Tunneling Magnetoresistance sensing, an advanced technology that measures changes in magnetic resistance for more precise key tracking.

Are the switches interchangeable with other brands?

The board features a hot-swap PCB, but you should prioritize Cherry MK magnetic-compatible switches to ensure the TMR sensing technology functions correctly.

Is the lighting customizable?

Yes, you can customize the RGB lighting for each individual key using the Cherry MagCrate software.

How long is the provided cable?

The included USB cable is 2 meters long.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard not detected by computer

Unplug and replug the USB cable into a different port, preferably one directly on the motherboard.

Software settings not saving to keyboard

Ensure you are using the latest version of Cherry MagCrate and click the 'Save to Device' button after applying your profile changes.

Key registration feels inconsistent

Check the actuation point settings in the software; you may have accidentally set an actuation point too high or too low for your typing style.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ultra-low latency with 8000 Hz polling
  • Advanced magnetic switches with 0.01 mm precision
  • Comprehensive per-key customization via Cherry MagCrate
  • Robust build quality with noise-dampening materials
  • Hot-swappable PCB for easy maintenance

Cons

  • 65% layout lacks a dedicated function row
  • Requires software installation for advanced features

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Setup: Connect the included 2m cable to a USB Type-A port on your PC. For optimal performance, ensure you connect to a USB 3.0 or higher port to support the high polling rate.
  2. Compatibility: The keyboard is designed for Windows-based systems via the Cherry MagCrate software. Ensure your OS is up to date for full peripheral recognition.
  3. Care: Keep the keyboard free from dust and debris. Since the switches are hot-swappable, you can periodically remove the keycaps using a standard keycap puller to clean the plate. Use a soft, dry brush for the internals. Avoid using liquids directly on the PCB.
