Barebones 65% keyboard for custom builders

The xtrfy K5 RGB barebones keyboard supplies only the PCB, case and stabilisers so enthusiasts can install their own MX-style switches and keycaps. Its 65% layout keeps dedicated arrow keys while saving desk space. The white chassis uses strip LED per-key RGB lighting and a USB 3.0 wired connection.

Hot-swap PCB fits into any USB 3.0 port

The board accepts both 3-pin and 5-pin MX switches without soldering, letting builders swap feel or sound in seconds. Pre-lubed PCB-mounted stabilisers and double layers of sound-dampening foam are already installed, reducing assembly work. Super-scan technology polls every key every half millisecond for instant registration.

Handles full customisation; runs out without parts

The kit comfortably supports any MX-compatible switch set and standard keycap profiles, giving complete control over typing feel and aesthetics. It cannot function until switches and keycaps are added, so buyers who want a ready-to-use board must purchase those parts separately.

Questions about this item

Does the barebones unit include any switches or keycaps so I can start typing right away?

No, the K5 RGB barebones keyboard ships without switches or keycaps; you must supply your own MX-style switches and keycaps before it can be used.

How much heat or fan noise does the keyboard produce during all-day use?

The K5 RGB has no active cooling, so it generates negligible heat and runs silently; only the per-key RGB strip LEDs draw a small amount of power over the USB 3.0 connection.

What else do I need to own before this keyboard will function?

You need 5-pin or 3-pin MX-style mechanical switches, a set of keycaps, and a USB 3.0 cable; the board itself is a barebones PCB with hot-swap sockets and pre-lubed stabilizers.
