COSMIC BYTE CB-GK-31 Artemis 60% Mechanical Wired Gaming Keyboard ( Black ) ( Outemu Red Switch )

The Cosmic Byte CB-GK-31 Artemis is a 60% keyboard. In this sense, it has many fewer keys than a full-sized keyboard. Typically speaking, a full-sized keyboard will boast 104 keys. The compact version, the CB-GK-31, has around 61. This reduction is achieved by strategically omitting several key sections, most notably the number pad on the far right, the function key row (F1-F12) along the top, and the arrow keys.  Despite this smaller key count, 60% keyboards like the CB-GK-31 retain the core alphanumeric keys and essential modifiers, providing basic typing and gaming functionality in a much smaller footprint.

Yes, the Cosmic Byte CB-GK-31 Artemis is a mechanical keyboard. This makes it such that every key press registers via its own mechanical switch, not using the membrane underneath that most less expensive keyboards have. Outemu Red switches are used on the CB-GK-31 specifically. The main reason behind the popularity of mechanical keyboards among gamers and typists is the tactile feedback the keyboard's keys provide, which can be responsive in nature, thereby providing for a more precise or enjoyable typing experience or game play.  Individual switches also tend to provide higher durability and lifespan than membrane keyboards.

The Cosmic Byte CB-GK-31 Artemis does have RGB backlighting, enabling you to personalise the colour and lighting effect of your keyboard.  Due to its compact size as a 60% keyboard, dedicated software for changing the lighting pattern is unlikely; instead, colors are usually switched through specific combinations of keys found on the keyboard itself. These combinations of keys are usually function keys, held down along with other keys, and should be clearly specified in the user guide included with your CB-GK-31. Further instructions on cycling lighting modes, brightness adjustment and color selection and effects can best be obtained from the user guide or the Cosmic Byte website.

This is not advised for users who are virgin to soldering a keyboard because it might damage the keyboard and void the warranty if not done correctly.
