"This keyboard is fast and loud thanks to Cherry's new MX2A red switches. Unfortunately, these switches also introduce instability that, combined with odd keyspacing, makes for an awkward experience."

"The Cherry K4V2 TKL doesn’t provide any real reason to pick it over cheaper competition. It has the basics right, with a 1,000hz polling rate and responsive MX2A Red switches for gaming. However, the keyboard’s cheap build gives off a distinctly budget vibe, which also manifests as a poor typing experience. It sounds pretty awful and the board’s primary selling point, its switches, are rough in use."
