Cherry XTRFY MX 8.2 Pro TMR: hot‑swappable magnetic+mechanical TKL, $249.99

Cherry has released the XTRFY MX 8.2 Pro TMR, a tenkeyless magnetic gaming keyboard that is fully hot‑swappable between magnetic and MX mechanical switches and is listed at $249.99 on Amazon. GamesRadar+ also notes the deck is one of the first mainstream keyboards to use TMR sensing technology and offers a wireless connection with an 8,000Hz polling rate.

GamesRadar+ highlights the hot‑swap ability as the keyboard's standout feature, saying it lets users swap between magnetic and any MX mechanical switch — a flexibility most competitors do not provide. The review notes you remain limited to the Cherry MK collection if you want adjustable magnetic actuation, but full MX compatibility gives more options than many magnetic decks.

The brand attributes the keyboard's high polling wireless performance to improved energy efficiency from the TMR sensors on its PCB, and GamesRadar+ points out that many Hall effect models are wired because of heavier processing demands. For comparison, the Corsair Vanguard Pro 96 is mentioned as a $229.99 wired alternative.

After several days with the MX 8.2 Pro TMR, the reviewer was impressed by its plush typing feel, deep sound profile, smooth matte keycaps and denser sound dampening, calling it a luxury typing experience. The piece compares the feel to the full‑size Cherry MX 3.1 (priced at $89.99) while noting other Cherry models like the K5V2 ($139.99) lack in build or features.
