Review Cherry XTRFY K4V2 TKL

The mechanical keyboards have passed from niche enthusiast products to a trusted refuge for most grave towards computer games. It is about these mechanical keys, and cherry switches were a valued choice at every stage of this trip to the mainstream. A good mechanical keyboard equipped with cherry switches was once a huge purchase, but fortunately, with a broader party, prices became more reasonable. Now you can get a modern Cherry XTRFY K4V2 TKL with Mecha switches for less than USD 130/200 USD. But the question is: with such high competition, is it worth it?

K4V2 TKL appears in three different color options: black, white or retro with retro theme, like the one I got in front of me for this review. He recalls memories of a very ancient school with two subdued gray appearance, emphasized by live red accent keys. Just draw a double shot for each computer that is not Commodore 64.

This appearance extends to a gray braided cable, which is decorated with the same red as the accent keys at the connection points. It connects to a computer with a USB port without software. The cable is also quite far below at the back, helping to facilitate cable management.

Cherry software can be downloaded to set key backlight options, but it is quite circumscribed and it is not necessary. Everything can be done using key actions, including setting six different lighting zones, although you may want the instruction to remember the control elements at hand.

Tenkeyless configuration is a standard system, although the spacing is different from other plates to spoil me. The numepad was cut off in favor of ergonomics and space savings. I am a substantial fan of smaller keyboards to get the opportunity to favor them, to adapt to my own comfort and because I often juggle things On my desk – every additional space is worth it.

Keykaty K4V2 are laser engraved, so you can see the backlight of the keyboard, which is a feature that I like in the game in the murky. Unfortunately, the backlight is so low, and these are quite brightly lit keys. This means that I was slightly blinded by them several times, and even decided to turn them off completely more than once. I would prefer to have Dimmer keys so that I could leave the lights on, but neither the software nor the controls on board would allow me to darken enough.

The keys also contain modern red MX2A Cherry switches, which are simply not my favorite. Earlier I used red switches, but the modern ones are looser. They have a quick action and are very flooded. When I reach the speed of writing, it sounds as if someone shoots in a plastic UZI in the study.

Nobody lives with me, I don’t like using this keyboard. The sound can even fluctuate me, which is not great to write flow and is particularly harmful to games. The start rate is nice, but they come out very quickly. This is almost coarse or even a little shaky. Although I’m sure I hit the key, it doesn’t offer a sheltered feeling in the press and just leaves me.

I played the alleged part of the extermination of Eternal and Warframe to test this board, and although I’m in the heat of games, my grips are usually less shameful. The music of the game in my headphones stunns the sound, and all visual dispersion of attention combined with the speed of the desire to react suppresses this loose feeling from the switches. In contrast, the feeling that the keys hit the bottom too easily, it can feel a little worse in supple moments and makes my brain ask if the key has been correctly pressed.

All this meant that Cherry’s K4V2 TKL was a bit disappointing experience. I was hoping for a straightforward, but extremely solid plaque of feelings, and instead it is only the first. There is nothing here that is particularly fascinating or unique and in the best release seems a bit average. If we were still in 2010, a well -mechanical keyboard with some lighting options for just below 200 USD would be a dream, but it just doesn’t add 15 years later.
