Conclusion
Now we come to the conclusion. At the beginning, I asked the question of whether Cherry could catch up with the best through the takeover of Xtrfy and the development of the new switches. However, there is no clear answer to this question. The new switches are certainly a noticeable improvement on the familiar Cherry MX Red and the experience gained from Xtrfy has also resulted in a solid gaming keyboard with the K5V2 Compact, but there is no reinvention of the wheel here. Thanks to the factory lubrication, the MX2A switches are significantly smoother than the old version and also feel a little “crisper” thanks to minimal changes to the key travel and spring resistance. In the end, they are very similar to the Corsair MLX Red, but without reaching their smoothness. However, they are a little quieter when you hammer them all the way down.
Overall, I had expected a little more in terms of the quality and features of the keyboard, but this is not an unrealistic expectation considering the very high price. In terms of price, you’re not far away from the Corsair K65 Plus Wireless, which even comes wireless and with PBT keycaps and a higher-quality finish. In terms of quality, I see the K5V2 Compact as being more on a par with the Sharkoon SGK50 S3/S4 keyboards, which are only around half the price at €60-80.
“The keyboard was provided by Cherry for this test. The only condition was compliance with the embargo period, there was no influence or compensation.”
