Cosmic Byte CB-GK-26 Pandora TKL Mechanical Keyboard Upgraded with Swappable Outemu Red Switches & Rainbow LED (Black/Grey)

Basically, you can’t expect this keyboard to sound like a legit cherry mx switch keyboard or something with gateron blue clicky switches, but the outemu switches sound pretty great for the price this keyboard comes at. The keyboard is well built, has good weight feels hefty and doesn’t move around the desk like a cheap plastic keyboard. The switches feel clicky and tactile, but the stabilisers on this keyboard are just so mushy I’ll probably tape mod and lube the stabilisers after 6 months of use. Overall a pretty decent budget mechanical keyboard imo better than other mechanical keyboards that use the same switch but cost around 2k-3k just for the sake of rgb and 60% form factor. :) here again after modding the keyboard, adding a little foam and tape under the pcb makes it sound a lot less hollow and the keys sound much better now.

Build: Overall the build is super solid , it would last long however i found i difficult to remove the keys as it is a swappable keyboard it should have been easy to remove the keys however i don't think the pcb would handle frequent switch changes, so change the keys only when super necessary.Lightning: Being a rainbow lighted keyboard the color modes are pretty good and so far so the leds are working goodSound: As it is a entry level keyboard don't expect any good sound outputs i would say it just sounds decentWeight: This keyboard has a pretty good weight and would not slip of the tableTyping: My main purpose of buying this keyboard was to assist my typing , as it has red switches super responsive and have low actuation force ,they have aided to my overall typing speed. On any membrane keyboard i was able to write at about 110 wpm but with this keyboard in my inventory i could hit 125-130 wpm easily.Gaming: As it has all keys anti ghosting it is pretty good for playing games , you won't miss any key hit with this keyboardSo you can go for this keyboard , overall good in this price range but plz don't be super expecting , if you can increase your budget go for keyboard in higher price range , they would give you good sound output and lightning effect however the keys would remain same as most of the keyboard from 1500 to 3k come with otemeu switches

The media could not be loaded. The Cosmic Byte Pandora keyboard is totally worth it! The keys feel great, the typing experience is smooth, and the rainbow lighting effects look super cool. It’s a solid choice for both gaming and work. Highly recommended!

This is my first Mechanical keyboard, thats why i opted for the blue switches for their clicky sound. Its so awesome. Yes there are few flaws in it, but can be negligible like the spacebar is slightly loose and the back light on the tilde '~' keycap is very poor. Otherwise its cool. I will but another one of these after a few years with red switch and full size keyboard once i get over with my blue switched baby..

Bought this in September 2022. From 2022 to 2025 it wasn't in use much. Probably used for 2 months. But since January 2025 using this keyboard daily.I say it is an okay product because it disconnects automatically from the PC have to unplug and plug to use which is an hassle.RGB works fine, no issues there.If you remove keys to clean and put them back it won't sit correctly. The keys may not look finely inline. Check the 'C' from image.

Don't know if this happened with me only but after 8-9 months of using(gaming) a lot it's keys just stops working one by one and you need to press with a lot of pressure then sometimes it takes input

Pandora CB-GK-25 is one of the best keyboards out there in this price range. This has got very good quality of switches in-built with wonderful key caps and excellent led lighting. The response is amazing and it feels great while playing games or doing any kind of work. This is one of the best keyboard in this price category.However there is one serious issue which exists but may not necessarily affect everyone. This is the switch swapping feature. Many people have reported that the connection to the PCB broke when they tried to pull the switches out. This did not happen with me but I faced a big challenge in pulling the switches out because they were extremely tight in the sockets. The tools provided with the keyboard are okay for pulling out the key caps but the switch puller is not good enough. This has been designed with a simple feature in mind which enables you to replace any bad switch but do not imagine the ability to change all the switches whenever you want because it's a very tedious project. This keyboard is not at all modding friendly so you should never buy this if you are going to modify the keyboard in any way. Both the red switch option and the blue switch option are great depending on what is your preference. but modders please stay away.

Wonderful keyboard for the price. Does not have programmable RGB lighting only a select few inbuilt layouts, but that's fine for the price. Clicks are clicky, loud and sharp, good for the OETMU switches. Bought it in 2022, worked for a solid 3 years before the switches had issues. Can either use an contact cleaner to clean the switches or replace the switches since it's hot swappable. All in all a pretty good buy.
