The laser-engraved, UV-coated keycaps are extremely robust and the rounded edges of the black keyboard lend it an expensive and high-end appearance.While the Xtrfy K2 has several noteworthy features for its price range, Xtrfy has placed a special emphasis on its lighting features. In this case the keyboard comes with RGB-LED backlighting and 14 different lighting modes. These can be adjusted to eight different lighting levels and combined with an additional selection of lighting effects. These include six effects that can be activated when typing as well as eight equalizer effects that can be synchronised with the audio ouput.And yet this keyboard has much more to offer than attractive aesthetics. The keyboard’s innards also leave a lasting impression. Sticking to the tried-and-true approach of previous Xtrfy keyboards, the K2 comes with an extremely high-quality PCB as standard, and this helps to ensure long-term durability and robustness. Additionally, the keyboard comes with full key rollover, this prevents any input delay regardless of how many keys are pressed at one time, despite using a standard USB connector.Kailh SwitchesThe unique selling point of the Xtrfy K2 gaming keyboard is the deployment of switches from Kailh, the Chinese manufacturer. In this case Xtrfy has named them “Kailh Red” switches. However, that is not to say that these are merely cheap copies of Cherry’s famous MX switches, these switches make no compromises compared to those from Cherry. Moreover, Kailh is known as a pioneer in the keyboard industry with almost 24 years of experience in designing and manufacturing a wide variety of high- quality keyboard components and manufacturing techniques.The new Kailh switches for mechanical keyboards are inspired by the color scheme and switch-feel of their Cherry counterparts, while creating switches which have their own distinct character. Since Cherry’s patents on their respective switch technologies, we expect there to be increasing competition in the mechanical keyboard market. The result of this should be a boon for customers with significant reductions in prices. This is what has allowed Xtrfy’s K2 to offer such great performance at such a low price without compromising on manufacturing quality.The linear Kailh Red switches are slightly heavier than Cherry MX Reds Die while being slightly smoother than Cherry MX Black. Thanks to their high sensitivity and smoothnes, they are ideal for gamers and have an extremely long service life. Kailh Red switches require very little actuation force and are suitable for fast multiple clicks, as is often necessary in first person shooters. This opens the door to gaming at the highest levels. Each key on the Xtrfy K2 gaming keyboard is also designed for an incredible 60 million keystrokes.Customise Your Play StyleThe Xtrfy K2 gaming keyboard comes with 105 buttons, including macro keys, game mode keys, media controls, LED setting keys and shortcut keys for social media and other gaming-oriented websites. Additionally, USB time delay and polling rate can be adjusted. As a result, this keyboard allows users to customise their play style down to the last detail.Xtrfy K2-RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Specifications:DimensionsW x H x D400mm x 140mm x 35mmWeight1.25kgColourBlackSwitch TechnologyBrand: Kailh SwitchesType: Kailh Red mechanicalActuation Force: approx. 50gActuation Point: 2mmTotal Travel: 4mmLayoutUKLED LightingRGB Modes: 13 background + 6 typing effects + 8 sound effects (+ 7 preset effects)USB Polling Rate1,000 HzCableStandard USB 2.0 1.7m
