Cosmic ByteCB-GK-16 Firefly Per-Key RGB TKL Mechanical Keyboard with Swappable Outemu Blue Switch, Macros, Software (Black)

Review from perspective of Software Engineer, who is not a gamer-Pros:- Swappable switches which you can easily replace if any of them fail.- Red swicthes, so very smooth and quite silent. It sounds not much more than a membrane keyboard.- Heavy(800g) & sturdy, so remains in place.- I hate disco RGB, fortunately you can customize it with their software and it saves the profile in keyboard memory, so if you plug it in another pc or linux, it will retain it. Here I have set it to static (non flashing, other modes also available) bluish-white color (can select any color) which looks clean!-Key puller & 2 replacement switches provided in the box.- I really prefer 65% keyboard. This is not that compact, measuring 14", but so far it seems fine to use.- 7 levels of brightness adjustment.Cons:-Non removable cable. I use it with laptop and 1.6m is a little too long, but not a deal breaker.- Keys are very sensitive and activates with just about 1mm of key press. Total key travel is ~5mm and bcoz of this, I am making mistakes while typing. Maybe I will get used to this.- You will not be able to read keycap without backlit, but I belive that's the case with all back-lit keyboards, atleast the budget ones, so can give it a pass.Conclusion: I got this for 2k and it's a really great keyboard for this price.

I do not have any complaints about it but If we neat peek I am expecting more color customizationbut sometime just check the key after me my friend bought it and the P key is not working properlypositive:1) premium feel2) solid metal body3) per key RGB4) proper mechanical keysetc.negative:don't have any .....for this price segment bought this for ₹3000conclusion:just buy it if you want a full metal per key RGB mechanical keyboard

Pros: 1- Small and compact (as it is a TKL keyboard)2- Switches are tactile and less noisy compared to blue switches3- Has different LED modes and different user profiles for different games4- It has lowest amount of input lag in this price point..Cons- 1- Sometimes some keys doesnt works well2- In the box they have havent included any keycap remover which is a hassle3- Because the keycaps are matte finish.. it is harder to see in a bright roomOverall a well made keyboard.. Im using this keyboard since april and I faced only a problem that is my key "O" LED stopped working.. I mailed to the customer service and they replied within few hours.. Thinking I could get a replacement as my product is in warranty.. That's All Folks :)

1) Pls note that the packaging of the product is significantly improved and it no more comes with a bad packaging (which was the case in 2020!). The product I recieved was in a neat and sturdy packaging. It was nicely covered with a box that had zero damage and the box was also contained in a bigger container(double box protection! Rest assured about the packaging, it was an issue in the past.2) If you are coming from a membrane keyboard then the quality or build of the keyboard will definitely be a premium one for you. It has got quite a weight to it and hence feels quite a good built. But the braided cable feels a bit cheaper COMPARED TO OTHER BRAIDED CABLES. It is still good compared to normal rubber cables.3) The keys are simply awesome. You will definitely get obsessed by typing on this keyboard. It simply feels great to type on it. The keys are quite loud and fully give the mechanical keyboard wala vibe that you need. I got so customed to this board that when i returned to my laptop keyboard it felt like its keys were inaudible(not kidding!).4) Though rgb was not my first priority while buying this board.... but it too is just simply great! The colors are surprisingly vibrant and bright enough for most of us users. There are enough modes that one might need and you can even change the brightness of the rgb. If you need any more custom modes (if you are that much of a psycho xD) you can get it done through the CB software that the keyboard supports!5) As mentioned RGB was not my first priority. I needed a compact ten key less mechanical keyboard which i needed for my college work and mostly for CODING! And .......... i am in love with this keyboard. The form factor is really very compact and it does not take much space from my desk and i can keep my board and write on my notebooks at the same time without any difficulty (which was one with my previous keyboard. I always needed to switch my keyboard and notebook from the desk very often and it irritated me alot).6) One thing that i encountered was that my typing speed reduced while typing on this keyboard. I also made more errors while coding using this. I tend to mispress quite often and this is due to some anti ghosting keys that this board has. But its not quite that big of an issue and I will get accustomed to it with time imo!So, my final thoughts for buying the board would be that - if its your first mechanical keyboard .... JUST GO FOR IT. You wont be disappointed by the product. And if its not your first then too you wont notice any significant issues with the board and it will be just simply great for most of us!
