**Filter Ninja Keyboard with Cherry Brown Switches: First Impressions**

My first experience using ordinary switches rather than Cherry switches was a unique one, and I was eager to see how it would compare. As I started typing on my Filter Ninja keyboard with cherry brown switches, I noticed that the keys felt different from what I was used to. The tactile bump of the switches was more pronounced, and the sound of each key press was noticeably louder than the smooth, muted click of Cherry switches.

**Keyboard Features and Customization**

The CK 1:08 keyboard is available with black autumn switches, so users can choose their preferred switch type. One of the standout features of this keyboard is its customization options. The keys can be removed with the included key cap removal tool, allowing for cleaning or replacement of the base of the keyboard. I found the remover tool to work reasonably well, although it didn't quite match the performance of other tools I've tried in the past.

**Wrist Rest and Function Keys**

The keyboard also comes equipped with a wrist rest made from hard black plastic, which clips into the front of the keyboard. While I'm not a fan of wrist rests myself, they can be useful for some users. The function keys can be pressed in combination with the function button to perform specific actions, such as quick shortcuts. I found these shortcuts to work seamlessly, and it was reassuring to see that multiple keys could be pressed simultaneously without any issues.

**Lighting Effects**

One of my favorite features of this keyboard is its customizable lighting effects. The keyboard comes pre-programmed with 18 built-in effects, which can be changed directly on the keyboard itself by pressing the function key with one of six other keys three times to cycle through the options. There are also several ways to customize these effects further, including changing between different colors, adjusting brightness levels, and increasing or decreasing the speed of the effect.

**Additional Customization Options**

The Filter Ninja keyboard offers a range of additional customization options. Users can change the color of each individual key by pressing function and the tilde key simultaneously, allowing for precise control over their lighting scheme. The function key + left arrow key will reverse the direction of an effect, while the function key + right arrow key will change the color of an effect. Finally, pressing function and the up or down arrow key will adjust the brightness of an effect to one of five different levels.

**Software Driver**

There is also a software driver available from Motor Speeds that allows users to customize their lighting effects and settings in a more intuitive way than using the keyboard itself. This can be especially useful for those who want to create custom macro key combinations or save multiple profiles of settings. The software driver also offers additional features, such as setting custom colors for individual keys.

**Conclusion**

Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with my experience typing on this Filter Ninja keyboard with cherry brown switches. The keys felt great under my fingers, and the sound of each press was more satisfying than I expected. While it's not a replacement for my more expensive mechanical keyboards, I think the CK 108 offers excellent value for its price point.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys Jarrod here and today we're going to check out the motor speed ck1 or eight mechanical RGB keyboard from gearbest I'm also running a giveaway for two of these keyboards so stick around to the end for details on that alright so full disclosure before we begin this keyboard was sent over from gibbous comb a few weeks ago they're a Chinese company which is where Murders meets all their products I chose this keyboard is that had a high rating on the website and I was interested to see what you'd get out of a $59 RGB mechanical keyboard inside the box we have the manual a key Kappa River a wrist rest and the keyboard itself the keyboard weighs in at around nine hundred and sixty grams and is 44 centimeters in length fourteen point eight centimeters in width and three point four centimeters high it's a standard full size keyboard with numpad included there's nothing on the left right or front sides while the top obviously has the keys the back only has the non removable cable which connects with the USB type a port it's plug and play and we'll start working straight away the cables one point six meters long with no braiding the body of the keyboard is made out of black plastic with a brushed aluminium pedal on top which I think looks quite nice for something I was always touching no finger prints actually showed up on the bottom there are four rubber feet which do a really good job at making sure the keyboard doesn't move around while in use so what's the back are two extendable rubber feet which can be used to raise the back of the keyboard up slightly the key caps are abs so they're made of plastic and have the letters cut out to allow the lighting to shine through some of the keys like the function keys also have symbols printed on them so I would expect these to rub off there for a longer period of time and it's also worth noting that you won't see these in the darkroom as the lighting won't shine through here I found the key caps were mostly smooth to the touch with a subtle white grippy matte texture to them over the past couple of weeks I found the keyboard comfortable to type with the blue autumn ruse which is a nice to press clicky but fairly noisy here's what they sound like to type with for comparison is what my filter ninja keyboard with cherry brown switches sounds like while this isn't a perfect test hopefully it gives you at least some idea of what to expect this was my first experience using ordinary switches rather than cherry switches and I was pretty impressed I've read many accounts online of people actually preferring them to Cherry switches but in the end it's all personal preference the CK 1:08 keyboard is also available with black autumn switches so you can pick the ones you prefer to type with keys can be removed with the included key cap removal allowing you to clean the base of the keyboard or otherwise replace the key caps I didn't find the remover tool to work as well as others I've tried in the past but it got the job done now it's not like you'll be doing this very often anyway as mentioned the keyboard also comes with a wrist rest which is made out of a hard black plastic it clips into the front of the keyboard and won't fall out I'm not personally a fan of keyboard wrist rests so I didn't really use it but it's there if you want it there's no mention of n key rollerball it's just noted that you can press multiple keys at once under testing I was able to press as many keys as possible and still have them all recognized though so I can't see that being an issue the function keys can be pressed in combination with the function button to perform the following actions which worked well as quick shortcuts finally let's take a look at the available lighting effects these can be changed directly on the keyboard itself with no need for additional software by pressing the function key with any of these six keys three different times to cycle through all 18 built-in effects the function key + Delete key will change between these three effects the function key + insert key will change between these three effects the function key + end key will change between these three effects the function key + hm key will change between these three effects the function K plus P DT will change between these three effects and finally the function key + PU key will change between these three effects the effects can be further customized for example the function key + left arrow key will reverse the direction of the effect the function key with the right arrow key will change the color of the effect while the function key with the up or down arrow key will change the brightness of the effect between five different levels and the function key with the plus or minus keys will increase or decrease the speed of their effect respectively you can also custom Li select the color of each individual key by pressing function and the tilde key in this mode the tilde key will flush with the color that acts as the color that you want to apply for example we can see it's showing a particular color here and if we select another key it will make that key the same color we can then press the function man right arrow key to change the color of the tilde key which we can then apply to selected keys once you're done customizing simply press the function and tilde key to save the changes finally you can reset the keyboard to defaults if you make any mistakes by pressing function escape f1 f3 + f5 although not mentioned in the manual there is a driver that you can download from motor speeds website it lets you change the effects and colors in the same way previously shown just through software instead which may be a bit easier you can also set custom macro key combinations and you can save up to three different profiles of settings overall I really enjoyed typing with this keyboard the keys feel great to press if a little loud the keyboard feels solid and it has a nice clean metallic look to it and there's lots of customizations you can make with lighting as shown from what I can tell you're getting a fair amount of premium features in a mechanical keyboard at the sub 60 you are still a price point but two lucky winners will be able to find out for themselves a softer a couple of weeks into testing the keyboard out for
