Cosmic Byte CB-GK-34 Firefly Hot Swappable Per-Key RGB Ten-Keyless Keyboard with Outemu Red Switch

Switched to this from a regular membrane keyboard and the difference in typing feel was noticeable from day one. The Outemu switches feel responsive and the actuation point is satisfying without being too stiff, which works for both gaming sessions and longer typing work. Per-key RGB looks genuinely impressive in a dim room, and the software lets you set static colors per key, which is useful for marking WASD separately from the rest. The hot-swap feature is the main reason I picked this over other options at this price. Pulled out two switches to test and the process takes about 30 seconds per switch with the included puller, no soldering needed. That flexibility matters if you want to experiment with different switch types later without buying a new board. Tenkeyless layout took a day to adjust to since I occasionally work with numbers, but the compact size frees up desk space noticeably. Chassis feels solid. Sound dampening could be better out of the box but that is an easy mod if it bothers you.

Keyboard quality and features out-performed my expectations however, I got damage piece at first then they replaced it with no question ask. But they didn't give switchpullers and extra switches like they give in damage product piece. Accessories like switchpullers and extra switches are mentioned in product but this time I didn't get. I don't want to replace this item because I know replacement cuts their profit margin. I have humble request to seller, please provide me switchpuller and extra switches as mentioned in product accessoriesm thank you.

So, here's the lowdown on the CosmicByte CB-GK-34 keyboard - Pros:RGB Lighting: Perky RGB lighting, customizable through software. Key Switches: Red switches stand out for gaming better than brown and black switches in my experience. Sturdiness: Solid frame gives a durable feel. Customer Support: CosmicByte's customer support is reliable. Hot Swappable: The hot-swappable feature for changing switches is a definite plus. Cons:RGB Brightness: While customizable, the RGB brightness seems a bit low compared to other models. Longer Keys: Shift, spacebar, and other longer keys can be somewhat shaky with an unpleasant sound. Notes:Braided Cable: The cable is braided and seems sturdy. Gaming Experience: Overall, a satisfying gaming experience; also works well for coding. Value for Money: Priced at 2400 rupees, it's a good deal. Despite a few quirks, the hot-swappable feature and overall performance make it a worthwhile purchase. I have used many other models from Cosmic Byte but this one is the balance. PS : Left hand keyboard is CB Firefly where as right one is CB Black eye you can yourself check the brightness difference.

It's cheap Chinese product white labelled by Cosmic Byte. The biggest problem is they don't even honour their warranty. Keyboard started showing issues 4 months after I bought it, it would disconnect if I moved the cable even slightly. After sending it for warranty, they said they found no defects in the keyboard and asked for money(180 rupees )to return the keyboard. After getting the keyboard back I found nothing was fixed and the problem still persisted. Do not buy from this scam company.

Overall built very nicely. The switches are as good as outemu reds can be. Stabilizers are required to be modded and lubed. I have done foam mod and clipped the stabilizers and holee mod them as well as lubed. As this was my first ever mechanical keyboard, I'd say this is a very nice one to enter in this hobby. The switches are hot swap, so other switches like gaterons etc can easily be used. The rgb intensity is not very strong, but I'm not a huge fan of rgb anyway. Although the legends are see through, so in dark environments, you have to turn the rgb on othervise you won't be able to read the legends
