Cosmic Byte Orbit vs Rebind

Cosmic Byte Orbit is a free browser-based configurator for adjusting compatible Cosmic Byte peripherals and saving settings to the device. It supports button and key remapping, macros, DPI and sensitivity, RGB lighting, polling rates, and controller stick, trigger, vibration, and motion settings. Supported devices can store profiles, and the portal provides guided firmware updates for supported gear. Its listed live devices include Helios and Velox mice, the Phantom TKL keyboard, and Lumora, Ares Pro, Drakon, Blitz, and Stellaris controllers.

Setup requires a desktop Chromium browser such as Chrome or Edge, plus USB or a 2.4 GHz dongle; Safari, Firefox, mobile browsers, and Bluetooth-only setup are unsupported. Desktop use is supported on Windows, macOS, and Linux, though Linux and some devices require the free Cosmic Byte Connect helper. Configuration can begin without an account; logging in enables account storage and syncing for settings and profiles. Some controllers may not be configurable on macOS.

Rebind is a keyboard and mouse remapping engine for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Its free software mode runs Luau scripts and supports macros, sensitivity controls, per-app controls, and per-game profiles; it does not require an account or Rebind Link. Free scripts without source protection can be installed as a guest, while paid marketplace scripts require signing in and buying with credits. Developers can connect tools through Luau, HTTP, or TypeScript, Python, and Rust clients. An MCP server supports screenshots, keyboard and mouse actions, and script execution. The optional Rebind Link adds physical USB keyboard and mouse output, a dedicated onboard processor, multi-device support, and a report rate up to 8,000 Hz. It costs $199, paid once and includes 12 months of Pro, with no recurring device-license fee. The Link is backordered, and hardware attachment requires Windows or macOS; Linux capture is not implemented.
