CHERRY XTRFY K5V2 + GP6 NORTHERN LIGHT BUNDLE Review @ Madshrimps

MadShrimps evaluated the K5V2 + GP6 Northern Light bundle as a versatile and customizable solution aimed at gamers who value flexibility and ease of use. The K5V2 keyboard features CHERRY MX Northern Light switches that provide smooth keystrokes and allow for extensive on-the-fly customization without relying on software. Users can swap out switches, keycaps, frames, and cables, tailoring the keyboard to their preferences. The GP6 mousepad complements the package with high-quality construction and a precise surface for consistent mouse performance, adding to the overall appeal of the bundle.

"CHERRY XTRFY K5V2 + GP6 NORTHERN LIGHT set not only looks cool but integrates the latest CHERRY MX switches for an even smoother and silent typing experience. The keyboard is fully customizable and plug-and-play, considering that all extra functionalities can be achieved by keystrokes, with no necessary software. The GP6 pad completes the experience, with better materials, allowing use of high-performance mice for precision, comfort and speed."

The review noted some drawbacks regarding typing feel and sound. While performance and responsiveness were solid, the keycaps and acoustic profile did not feel as refined as those found in higher-end models. The reviewer described the experience as somewhat hollow, which ultimately reduced long-term satisfaction. Even so, the combination of adaptability, sleek design, and strong gaming functionality makes the bundle a good fit for players who prioritize customization and aesthetics, though it may not fully satisfy those seeking the very best in typing feedback and sound quality.
