Mechanical keyboard with a minimalist design, with the only exception to the rule being the LED RGB switches which have nine different profiles to choose from. With anti-ghosting technology, you can press multiple keys simultaneously without any lag while playing undisturbed, as the WIN Lock ensures you stay in the game even if you accidentally press something else. The Inflictor CK104 consists of 104 keys and includes the basics plus the numpad but does not have any macro keys on the sides or top. The construction is also durable, thanks to its aluminum build.
Design
Modern, stylish, ergonomic design, the Inflictor is exactly the right size to suit every gamer in building their own legend. With a width of just 17 inches, the Inflictor's chassis is made from an aluminum alloy, quite durable and weighs 850 grams.
Basic Functions
The basic functions - volume control, play/pause/skip media, and various shortcuts - can be found from keys F1 to F12.
Ergonomic Keys
The keys are arranged in such a way that they are perfectly convenient for use, especially for MMORPG games, where many keys are needed, very close and convenient.
Lighting
It has a very large number of predefined LED lighting effects, which is surprisingly useful for all Gamers. Of course, lighting effects could not exclude key presets for the most popular games (Counter Strike, League of Legends, etc.)

There are countless product reviews. I just wanted to say that after 13 months (i.e., right after the warranty expired), a key broke. It either didn't work or worked but had to be pressed 2-3 times.
I sent an email to motospeed Greece about 3 weeks ago asking if they could replace the broken key, and I'm still waiting for a response. They'll probably reply in about 2 years.
However, the reason I'm writing this review is to inform you that I bought WD-40 Fast Drying Contact Cleaner, and the key magically fixed itself like new. If you have a similar problem, the spray costs €6, but be careful: it should be specifically for cleaning electrical contacts and not a lubricant or rust remover.
Edit: Another key broke with the exact same problem. It seems that after a year or so, it starts to deteriorate, but for €40, I can't complain (even though I bought it for €62). This key also magically fixed itself with the aforementioned spray.
Edit2: I was ready to throw it in the trash because every time I pressed 's', it would type '' asdfghjkl;' '' instead, so I decided to wash it again with this spray, and it magically fixed itself again. I have no idea what magical properties this WD-40 has, but it has fixed my keyboard 4 times now. It probably contains unicorn extract or something. I don't know what to say.
Edit3: One key completely broke, and I couldn't fix it, so I bought one with blue switches (I had red ones before). Okay, it seems that its lifespan is about 1 year, but for its price, you can't find anything similar. The feel of the switches is quite good, and it has lighting + almost RGB + aluminum construction for €40 with shipping...
Edit (09/2022): I think I've had it since 2019. It hasn't shown any problems, and I believe it's because I don't use it for gaming. It seems that for simple everyday use, it has durability over time.
No relation to the old good Motospeed CK104 we knew. I bought it in October 2020. The company has greatly reduced the build quality, no relation to the old CK104 I had for three years. It is no longer worth the money. The keys make spring noise, the feeling is not like the old one, already one key has broken and the ones I use a lot (W, S, A, D, Enter..) have become mushy, and I've only had it for 10 days.
The worst keyboard ever, I bought it a year ago and it started to break down after 5 months. After 1 year, the windows key, a, m, d, y, and all the numpad and other keys broke. DO NOT BUY IT EVER!!!!!!!!
The keyboard is my first mechanical one and really very convenient, the sound is a bit more intense than a membrane one but not a big difference. There is software for the keyboard which is quite difficult to find, below I have the link for what I mentioned - https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/k5dftb/motospeed_ck104_drivers_software_problem/?rdt=52103
Its a value for money keyboard. Only limitation, there is not actual static color in keys. Even in static mode, when you press a key it makes a small fading.
I received the product today. I already noticed that 3 keys need to be pressed 2 to 3 times to respond.... We'll see as time goes on..... Update. .After a month, some keys require pressing more than 6-7 times to work, and sometimes very hard. I would not recommend it. Spend a little more to have peace of mind.
Good at first and impressive lighting.
After 6 months of use, some keys started to not work. Even though I cleaned them, nothing changed.
This way, its end came.
After a year, 3-4 buttons stopped working.
I am buying it a second time, both for myself and for a friend, to give it another chance (maybe the first one I got was defective), but again the same.
After 1-1.5 years, again the keys I used the most stopped working and you have to press them 3-4 times with force for them to register.
Disappointment.
In the end, a mediocre keyboard and a half... and noise when typing and relatively expensive, and after 7 months some keys have already started to say goodnight. They don't respond at all when you press them. I have never encountered this with a regular keyboard. Having to press harder, maybe yes, but for them not to respond at all and having to press the key 2-3 times only on this soft piece of junk.
2 months and all is well, tested even in demanding gaming. The sound of the keys is very satisfying, but I don't know if this will tire me in the future. Competitive price and heavy-duty construction.
Very good, I've had it for about 6 months and it has been convenient for me. I got it in red and it is beautiful, it has many functions for its RGB and it is very high quality, I recommend it.
(EDIT 10 months later) the A, D, and E started to not work well, I have to press them twice. In the end, I do not recommend it.....
The keyboard within six months and after minimal use - I only use it for a few weeks whenever I return to Greece - had a problem with the key lighting. They turn off and on again momentarily, regardless of the selected configuration. Otherwise, the mechanical switches are fine, the construction, although not the most robust, is relatively good. The colors of the switches, in terms of quality, are far from the more expensive examples of the competition, especially the yellow/orange ones are only in name. The software is subpar. Good for the price and depending on luck maybe quite reliable. Communication with the Greek representation is difficult if not impossible.
I have had it for a month now, I bought it for 35€, very good texture, beautiful. For a keyboard at 35€, it is definitely value for money, but don't expect anything extraordinary. Finally, I deduct one star because I would like there to be keyboard control software for easier use than with the keys

Beautiful keyboard, nice design and key feel.. complete RGB and effects... but it has an issue.... I received it and it came with a broken key.. I sent it for replacement and the next one arrived after a few months with the same problem... I don't know what the problem is, but it's unacceptable for 2/2 keyboards to have the same issue... I generally prefer the company, but this experience has made me have many doubts... now I bought the ck108 to give the company another chance... we'll see..
I had bought it from China in 2019 and generally since then I haven't used it much for simple graphic use. The only thing I noticed after so many years is that the LED colors start to fade and produce random colors, while some lights dim when adjusting specific colors. That is the only observation, but other than that, it functions perfectly. The only difficulty I have encountered is that I often eat sunflower seeds on the keyboard, and this could be a factor that caused some LEDs to have the aforementioned issue (3-4 lights, not many)
I have nothing to say, where to start!
This keyboard is simply amazing. Perfect sound, perfect touch, perfect in everything. At this price, you won't find anything like it nearby. It's very good, with many nice colors to use, perfect mechanical, we say. I was looking for a mechanical keyboard for gaming, but most of them were too expensive, so I would get a Razer that wasn't mechanical. Until I saw it on sale and bought it. Guys, it's worth every penny and more
I bought it in 2017 or 2018 and it still works perfectly. It hasn't faded at all, it's exactly as I bought it. The best thing by far for the money. I had bought it as a set with the V30 for anyone who is looking for a mouse, they should check it out
After 2 months of use, I have to say that it is the best choice. I think I got it for 25€ and for its price, it is TOP, there is no way I will change the keyboard. The quality and responsiveness are like those of a 100€ keyboard. The switches are very reliable (I got red switches), the cable is long enough, the RGB lighting is very bright, and it also comes with a keycap remover (in case you want to change or clean the keyboard). Finally, I would like to add that it has a metal straight base, which makes it easier to clean if you remove the keycaps. Additionally, I have a friend with the same keyboard who accidentally spilled a whole bottle of water on it and it didn't suffer any damage at all. I highly recommend it
I bought the product in 2017 and now it's time to replace it. I am very satisfied. I use it daily for intense gaming and the keyboard is excellent. Recently, the 'w' key started to not respond. I removed the key, cleaned it thoroughly, even used electronic surface spray (as recommended by some people), but unfortunately, nothing worked.
I really liked that it is plug and play without a bunch of programs like other brands. It is very easy to change colors, color profiles, etc., for those who are more interested in the appearance of the keyboard.
The response time is almost zero and I have never had any issues with responsiveness in general. Although I have changed key caps, the factory ones are aesthetically pleasing and nice in texture. Also, after many years of use, not a single key has worn out.
It is quite easy to clean, as long as you have a key puller. However, because the surface is metallic and not plastic, some stains may be a bit stubborn to remove.
The only negative thing I can think of is that you can't change the switches, which is why I have to replace the keyboard now after 7 years.
It took me 10 minutes to write this review that you see. The keys to the right of the tab and to the left of the tone do not work. That is, half of the keyboard!!!! Tragic... To say the least.
Too noisy, not suitable for open spaces because the noise is very annoying when playing games like League of Legends, it makes a constant tapping sound all the time. I regret buying it. If it's not for gaming, it's good for basic use. I've had it for 2 years. Reliable, easy to clean, and convenient size.
Daily use for 2 years, without damage/water etc. the buttons have moderate "wobble" but overall it is sturdy. In the 1st year and something it started acting up, A, D, E, T, 2 "lost" key presses, we are talking about 50% not registering, after cleaning with air and pure alcohol it "fixed" for 1 month and then the same and worse, on more keys now, with googling it is a classic problem with many possible causes (switch contacts, circuit board etc.) and a lot of effort to solve and fix it, it is designed for almost zero repairability and not worth the time you will spend or any contact/silicone spray you buy. Good as long as it works properly, but you throw it away at the first issue and get another one, the software for rgb is simple and easy.
It's worth it, the only thing that ruined the whole vibe for me is that I ordered the blue switches version and they gave me the red one. Like bro I'm paying for blue swiches and not red that's a steal bro
Third ck 104. The first one broke due to an accident with coffee and the second one lasted me 3 years and recently the wasd keys, due to heavy use, require multiple presses to do something. For the 30 euros I bought it, I didn't expect it to last a year, so I can't complain about that, I bought another one obviously. The only thing I was afraid of is that after so many years they might have changed the outemu switches, but luckily no, they are the same and quite stable because they added stabilizers, it seems. Honestly, I couldn't find anything below 150 euros full size that can compete with this. It has 95% of the features that a premium keyboard has at one-third of the price. There's simply nothing else to compare it to, it's in a category of its own.
It is really value for money. Nice construction, small and practical, comfortable buttons and relatively quiet. Unfortunately, I have already changed 2, as they barely lasted before they stopped working, and in both of them some buttons were unresponsive, and one works and one doesn't work.
After two years of regular use, they have broken - some buttons do not work, resulting in even this comment taking me 10 corrections to be written correctly.
