Glorious Custom Gaming Keyboard - GMMK 60% Percent Compact Barebone - USB C Wired Mechanical Keyboard Kit - RGB Hot Swappable Switches & Keycaps - Black Metal Top Plate

I just recently got into keyboard modding, and having something this modular and accessible at this price point is fantastic! Build quality is great for the price! It's got a decent weight to it, and overall just a lot better feel than the other hotswap/budget mechanical keyboards at this price point. My main keyboard is the DROP CTRL High Profile, but only because I bought the lilac aluminum case and I just love purple. (Dw Glorious, I've already placed my reservation for the GMMK Pro) I love finding excuses to use this lil thing! I've modded the stabs/stabilizers and slapped on some Ink Black v2s and it's buuuutteerrry. Acoustics is nice too! Overall, great package for what I paid for! Already ordered another to mod for my friend's birthday. :D

This keyboard is probably one of the best hotswappable boards on the market. It features USB type C connectivity and an overall sleek design. Plus, the board has a nice weight to it which further increases the overall sturdiness of the board. Multiple different lighting effects are available too. Considering there is no function keys (f1-12,) they are integrated nicely with easy hot key orders. Additionally, this board is 3 pin hotswappable, perfect for a variety of key switches. I used Kalih Box Reds and they sound great in combination with this new board.

Best diy keyboard I have used. I used jade switches with vxv pbt keykaps looks and sounds great

the price during this year BF and holiday sales made it difficult to pass up ($15-18 range), but there must be a reason why these were priced so low... i went through 4 units just to keep 1 due to the following issues: * the top plate/positioning plate and the inner PCB had screws that were insanely tight * the inner PCB has 4 holes for 4 screws, but ALL four units i went through were missing 1 or 2 screws * due to the aforementioned tight screws on the top plate, the top plate itself was deformed at certain spots, causing switches not to sit properly * how to install switches at the deformed spots? loosen the PCB from the inside to widen the gap, install switch, carefuly tighten inner PCB screw * the CAPSLOCK indicator lights on when capslock is OFF; this issue has been reported multiple times on reddit with no fix in sight some positives: * it was super cheap and fun to build a 60% size, if that is what you're looking for * it works (except for reverse capslock light)

The product is very very high-quality the only thing I don’t like about it is the caps light when you click on it but overall the keyboard is bright it works super well and I think it is a good thing to buy for a starter keyboard build

I won't "need" another keyboard now. Love it but probably should have gotten TKL but they didn't have any in stock withe barebones and still don't. Glorious did thank me for the purchase and solicited me to write a review, though.

This is a very solid keyboard. The weight combined with the flip out feet of the keyboard keep it from moving while gaming and typing. The brightness is good enough to shine from under my non rgb key caps so i could only imagine how good it would look on the putting key caps from glorious. There is no flex and it even has foam in the case stock for sound dampining. The one and only thing i would complain about is the stablizers. They rattle even when lubed and band-aided. Overall a fantastic option for people who want a more custom keyboard.

Perfect for anyone who is building their own PC. Keyboard is perfectly compact for anyone who likes the keys close to each other and you have the option of changing the height of the keys. Very happy with this purchase.

some of th screws are rusty

FPS等のゲーム用として使うにはコスパも非常に良く、剛性感や安定感もかなりあって非常にコスパのいいキーボードだと思います。 ただ、FNキーを押しながら操作するコマンドが非常に使いにくいです。 右側のALTの更に右側にFNキーがあるのですが、非常によく使う矢印キーのコマンドは右手のホームポジションでもある、i、j、k、lになっており、右手の親指をかなり内側に傾けながらキーを押す必要があります。 また、右手でFNキーを押すのですが、空いている左手のコマンドはほとんどがLEDのライティング等のほぼ使わないの変更等の機能が集中していて、PageUp・Down等の操作に必要なコマンドは全て右手側に集中しているため、右手の親指が無理のある姿勢になる事が多いです。 FNキーの場所や、コマンドの変更もできないようです。 見た目、安定感などは非常に良いので、このあたりのキーの割当で非常に損していると感じました。 また、FN + Winキーで、Winキーを無効化できる機能があり、ゲームなどをする際に非常に便利だとは思うのですが、弊害として、Winキーをどこか他のキーに割り当てておかないと、矢印キーとWinキーを同時押しすることができません。 MacではWinキーはCommandキーとして認識されるのですが、文章等を編集しているときにCommandキー＋矢印キーでカーソルを文末等に移動する機能をよく使われる方は、こちらも使用不可能になりますので注意が必要です。

I typically don't get 3 pin barebones boards because they aren't compatible with most of my 5 pin switches. I did have some 3 pin switches from other mechanical keyboards that I bought and swapped out; I also had extra keycaps from other sets that I bought (but they don't reflect the actual keys, which makes this a touch type keyboard). Anyways for the price of $57 at the time, it was hard to pass up on for this weird build I had in mind with the extra parts. The stabilizers do have a fair bit of rattling/ticking do it and they are plate mounted, so you should probably do some modding. Not sure if these can take the pcb mounted stabilizers, but might be worth upgrading to. I did the dielectric grease on the wire ends, lube the housing with krytox 205, and the holee bandage mod (this one is non negotiable for addressing rattling), but I wasn't able to completely get rid of the rattle/ticking. I've heard other's say the stabilizers on this board isn't the greatest, and I do agree as my other boards seem to not have any rattle after modding. Another thing of note is that everytime i try to take off keycaps off switches, the switches come with the board quite easily. I had this happen to a renewed GMMK 2 board that I ended up returning, but was surprised to see it happen to this new board as well. Is it worth returning this time? No, I got this for quite cheap and I'm using cheap switches that came from other prebuilt keyboards and extra keycaps anyways, so you could say I don't mind it at all. Edit: Glorious reached out not too long ago about my issue with the rattling stabilizers and they have been gracious to make the situation right. I have updated the review to 5 stars for the customer service I received to reflect that.

For this keyboard to be usable, you must switch the mapping of the FN and CAPS LOCK key. But the keyboard doesn't remember it, so every time you disconnect the keyboard from one computer to another, you need to reverse the FN and CAPS LOCK keys. I use a KVM switch because I very often switch between computers, so I have to switch the mapping multiple times per day, all because the keyboard doesn't remember my preference. This is so annoying that I'm strongly considering changing keyboards. The software to configure it can remap all keys except the FN key. Otherwise, the mechanical design is great, but the software is worthless.

Works with Razer Actuators!
