Cherry XTRFY MX 3.1 Review: A Mechanical Keyboard That Covers All the Bases

This review raves about the Cherry XTRFY MX 3.1 mechanical keyboard, calling it a potential "perfect" keyboard for the reviewer. The keyboard boasts a full-size layout without feeling bulky, impressive RGB backlighting and side lighting effects, and satisfying tactile feedback from the brown switches. The transparent keycaps allow the backlighting to shine through, enhancing the modern aesthetic. The reviewer particularly appreciates the compact design, despite the full-size functionality.

While praising the keyboard's design and feel, the reviewer finds the accompanying Cherry Utility software somewhat underwhelming. Although functional and easy to use, it lacks extensive customization options compared to other keyboard software, particularly regarding side lighting presets. The software's macro functionality is noted, but the reviewer didn't find it necessary given the pre-configured F-key shortcuts.

The lack of hot-swappable switches is also mentioned as a minor drawback, limiting its flexibility for users who might want to easily change switches. Despite these minor criticisms, the reviewer concludes that the Cherry XTRFY MX 3.1 is a top-tier keyboard, especially for those who value a full-size keyboard with a number pad and appealing lighting effects. The overall rating is a strong 9/10. The keyboard's availability and pricing are also detailed.

Price: $129 at Cherry, $117 at Amazon (at the time of review).
