Cherry Xtrfy K5V2
New switches, who dis?
CHERRY’S SWITCHES are dependable, unwavering, and the standard by which many of us judge all other switches. So what happens when Cherry changes them? You get the MX2A Red switches inside the Cherry-made Xtrfy K5V2—a new and improved version of the Cherry MX Reds we’ve come to know and love.
The MX2A Reds are an improvement in a number of ways. First and foremost, they’re factory lubed. If you’re a regular reader of our keyboard coverage, you’ll know that lube makes for smoother switches with a satisfying clack. That’s certainly true of the MX2A Reds, too. Each key glides effortlessly with each strike from my fingers.
