FAQs

What is the primary benefit of TMR sensing over standard Hall sensors?

TMR sensing measures shifts in resistance rather than just magnetic strength, allowing for superior 0.01 mm precision and reduced power consumption.

Can I use the keyboard without the software?

Yes, it functions as a standard keyboard immediately upon connection, but you will need the MagCrate software to configure advanced features like Rapid Trigger and actuation depth.

Are the switches hot-swappable?

Yes, the K5 Pro TMR features a hot-swap design, allowing you to swap switches without soldering.

Does this keyboard support custom macros?

Yes, you can record and assign custom macro functions to keys via the CHERRY MagCrate software.

What does the 65% form factor mean for my media controls?

The 65% layout integrates media controls as secondary functions on existing keys, usually accessible via a function (Fn) modifier key.

Is the cable detachable?

Yes, the K5 Pro TMR features a detachable cable for easier transport and cable management.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard not reaching 8000 Hz polling rate.

Ensure the keyboard is plugged into a high-speed USB port directly on your motherboard rather than a hub or front-panel case connector.

Actuation feels inconsistent or double-triggering occurs.

Open CHERRY MagCrate and recalibrate the actuation points for the affected keys to ensure they are set to your preference.

Software not recognizing the keyboard.

Ensure you have the latest firmware updates via MagCrate and try reconnecting the USB cable to a different port.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The K5 PRO TMR is a plug-and-play wired device connecting via a standard USB-A port. To unlock the full potential of the keyboard, download the latest version of the CHERRY MagCrate software from the manufacturer's website. Once connected, use the software to calibrate your desired actuation points and save these profiles to the board's onboard memory. For maintenance, the keys are hot-swappable, allowing for easy access to the board surface for cleaning. Ensure the keyboard remains dry and away from direct magnetic interference to preserve the precision of the TMR sensors. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to dust the keycaps and plate regularly.
