Overview
- Cherry Xtrfy released the K5 Pro TMR Compact with magnetic switches, now available in a compact 65% layout at a listed price of €149.99.
- The keyboard pairs CHERRY MK Crystal Magnetic switches with Tunnel Magnetoresistance sensing, which reads changes in magnetic resistance to detect tiny key movements.
- Cherry claims TMR can measure key travel with 0.01 mm precision and lower power use, though those figures have not been independently tested.
- An 8,000 Hz polling rate over a wired USB‑C connection aims to cut input delay for fast play, and the board does not offer a wireless mode.
- MagCrate software enables per‑key actuation tuning plus Rapid Trigger, Dynamic Key Travel, Mod Tap, and SnapKey, with profiles stored on the keyboard.
