Mechanical keyboards have gone to a reliable position to be slightly serious about their PC gaming from niche productive products. All this is about these mechanical keys, and cherry switches have been a valuable choice in the mainstream at each stage of this journey. A good mechanical keyboard equipped with cherry switches used a huge purchase, but thankfully, with wider lap adoption, prices became more reasonable. It is now possible that the new cherry Xtrfy K4V2 TKL will be completed under $ 130 USD/$ 200 AUD with TKL Mecha Switch. But the question is, with so much competition, is it worth it?
The 4V2T KL comes in three different colors options: black, white, or retro therapy gray, as I have found in front of me for this review. It has given birth to some of the old gaming memories of the school with his two -toned gray shape, which includes dynamic red accent keys. It is enough to take the double double of any computer, which is not Commodore 64.
This look extends to a brown -colored looted cable, which is like red keys at the connection points. It connects PC with a USB type port that does not require software. The cable also helps to handle the positioning of the cable by sitting downward downward.
Cherry utility software can be downloaded to fix key backing options but it is quite limited, and is not necessary. Everything can be done through key actions, including setting six different lighting zones, even though you want to remember the manual hand control.

The tanker lace setup is a standard setting, though the intermittent intermittent is quite different from the other board so that I can be messed up. Nipdad has been disconnected in favor of aergonomics and space savings. I am a huge fan of smaller small keyboards and the ability to angle them to my comfort and because I often do a lot of different things Stock At my desk – an extra space is worth it.
K4V2’s caps are laser engraving so that you can see the backlight shining through the keys, which is a feature that I like for gaming in the dark. Unfortunately, back lighting is just so low, and these are very bright keys. This means that I have become a bit blinded by them a few times and even chose to close them more than once. I would prefer to have a demens so that I could leave the lights, but neither the software nor the ship’s control would allow me to be quite dim.
The keys also include cherry MX2A Red Switchs, which are not just my favorite. I’ve used the red switch before, but it feels new. They have a speedy action and they are very crushed. When I reach the speed of typing, it seems as if someone fired plastic oz in the study.
No one who lives with me enjoy using this keyboard. Even the sound can make me feel hesitant, which is not very good for writing flow, and especially bad for gaming. The activation speed is good, but they really get out quickly. It feels almost rough, and even a little walking. Although I believe that I have hit the key, it does not offer this safe feeling in the press and just wants me.
If buy …
✅ ✅ You like a sharp clocky switch: I know there are concerts that do not get enough of the high -speed action keyboard made of costumes. This is for you.
If not buy …
❌ ❌ You are light or sensitive: The lights on this keyboard are also bright on their very slow setting. Together with these MX2A Reds, this keyboard is all lights and sounds.
❌ ❌ You may be better than: It is much easier to find good cheap mechanical keyboards that they all do more, maybe for less.
I played a fair part of the eternal and warfare to test this board, and when I am in the heat of gaming, the grip of my switch is usually low. Having a game music in my headphones makes the sound deaf, and all the visual disturbances want to show its speed, which eliminates a loose feeling from switches. On the contrary, this feeling of the keys down the bottom can feel a bit worse in the moments and raises the question from my mind whether its key is suppressed.
All of this made Cherry’s K4v2 TKL a disappointing experience. I was hoping for a simple but incredibly solid feeling board, and instead it is just former. There is nothing that is especially interesting or special, and the best thing is that it only feels slightly slightly. If we were still in 2010, a fine mechanical keyboard with some light options for less than $ 200 would be a dream, but it does not add 15 years below track.
