Is the keyboard suitable for gaming?

Yes, the CK108 is designed with gamers in mind. Its ultra-stable magnetic switches minimize key wobble and provide precise actuation with adjustable stroke lengths, ensuring fast and accurate key presses. The reliable wireless 2.4GHz connection and customizable RGB lighting further enhance the gaming experience.

What is the operating force of the magnetic switches?

The magnetic switches operate at an average force of 45±10gf, with a minimum force requirement of 35gf. This balance ensures the keys are neither too stiff nor too light, providing a satisfying tactile feedback suitable for both typing and gaming.

Do I need to calibrate the keyboard after swapping switches?

Yes, after swapping out switches, especially when changing between different types or brands, it’s recommended to calibrate the keyboard. This ensures that the keystrokes are registered accurately and the adjustable stroke settings function properly.

Can I use the keyboard with multiple devices?

Typing Experience

The CK108 HE’s magnetic switches are designed for stability and minimal key wobble, which can improve accuracy and consistency. Adjustable actuation points let users set the exact key travel distance, which may benefit those who want a shorter or longer stroke than typical mechanical switches. The keyboard supports both magnetic and traditional mechanical switches, giving users freedom to experiment with different switch types.

Connectivity

This keyboard supports three connection modes: wired via USB-C, wireless 2.4GHz with a receiver, and Bluetooth.
