Along with the performance and customizability of the K5, this is the premium keyboard to elevate your gaming and work sessions. 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. While I appreciate the gesture and the desire to bring these features to mass-produced boards, I have to say that there’s some work to be done here. Some of the biggest standout features for the Xtrfy K5 keyboard, for me, have to be the pre-lubed PCB-mounted stabilisers, hot-swappable switches and double-layered sound insulation foam, but, see for yourself in the keyboards spec sheet below.

It has a variety of lighting configurations and settings for you to mess around with via keyboard shortcuts. I’ve never had any issues with a (quality) mechanical keyboard feeling laggy or unresponsive so don’t get this board thinking you’ll be half a second faster on the draw than your enemy because that simply will not be the case. I’m not much of an RGB fan when it comes to my daily driver keyboards but I love a good light show on gaming keyboards, and if that’s something that you’re also a fan of you will absolutely love the K5 RGB Compact in the transparent white color. Out of all the keyboards for gamers I have reviewed so far, unboxing the Xtrfy was the best experience. Once I had got the keyboard out of the box and unwrapped it, my initial thought was; “Boy it is weighty – This definitely doesn’t feel cheap unlike other keyboards I have tested in the past”.While I applaud Xtrfy for trying to bring mechanical keyboard customization to the masses (and I truly love some ideas such as the swappable top frame) this K5 RGB Compact just doesn’t quite feel good enough.

I would argue I spent more time a year at a keyboard typing in some form than I do any other activity. Xtrfy K5 Compact chọn layout 65% - vừa rất gọn gàng nhưng không hi sinh đi các phím mũi tên tiện dụng để sử dụng hàng ngày. The K5 RGB Compact has a hotswap PCB, meaning that you can use pretty much any set of switchesthat you desire. The plate isn’t on there very securely, meaning that it’ll almost always be crooked a little, and I find that to be annoying once I’ve noticed it.

When milliseconds decide whether you win or lose, the CHERRY MX Speed Silver keeps you ahead of the competition. This barebone version gives you the keyboard base only, so you can add your favorite switches, keycaps, cable, frame and other parts separately.
