Glorious GMMK Mechanical Numpad- 10 Key USB Programmable Keypad - Hot Swappable, Volume Control, RGB Backlit, Wired & Wireless Bluetooth - Laptop & Keyboard Accessories- White

This is a fantastic numpad. I really like the Bluetooth or wired hookup, and the sound and feel of the keys are orgasmic. I don't think it's worth the 120, but if you can find a pre-owned one or catch it on sale, it's a great product.

I bought this numpad to match my GMMK Pro keyboard. First, it does not match. it is smaller and has rounded-off edges. it sits slightly too low next to my GMMK Pro in terms of its angle.The design difference is not why I decided to return mine. I wanted to use this Numpad wired 100% of the time. I do not need Bluetooth connectivity and even that has problems I have read on different forums. (using Bluetooth while wired causes lag).I wanted to turn on my computer and use my Numpad wired. That doesn't work. The keybinds I have set for my numpad doesn't work, the RGB setting on my numpad only sometimes works. The volume knob and slider do not control what the key binds are set for. (I used mine for Spotify audio it didn't work) the default Windows audio control does work.When I turn off my computer the numpad stays on (RGB) probably because of the battery. I use my numpad in my room and I find any light distracting. My GMMK PRO does not have this problem but this numpad does. I had to change my BIOS settings to get it to turn off while the computer is off (USB power while off). I have other devices that turn off with my computer and the glorious software does have a setting for it, but that setting is also set when the computer is on, meaning that if I don't touch the pad within 15 minutes it turns off. to some that may not be an issue, but for me it is.When I turn on my computer it's a lottery on whether the numpad wants to work or not. It will sometimes turn on with the RGB profile I have set for it, but it will rotate extremely slowly. ( I use a spiral RGB setting.) Most of the time the numpad does not register keypress on boot. I initially thought it could be because of "NUMLOCK" which all numpads have triggered on for some reason, but doing a quick keypress and then checking if it works found that to not be the case.Ignoring that issue I thought that well maybe it might be the Glorious software not being on. So I let it load. (I have the software start on startup). Nothing happens. So I manually open the software and It does not even recognize the numpad at all! In order to get my keybinds to register I have to manually disconnect the cable and reconnect it. And even then the RGB settings are not applied. it's off for some reason. I have to go and save the color settings again for it to apply. and depending on the settings the Numpad just decides It works too hard and shuts off the RGB.As one could Imagine, I talked to support. They requested a video via Google Drive, I sent it and they said try another cable, reset the numpad, try on another computer, and if that doesn't work just return It. I tried the cable that came with the unit, I also tried a coiled cable that is also from glorious (I did try connecting the cable to the mobo). And yet after all that work, nothing. I can't use my numpad without having to manually reconnect and open the software every time I use it. This is unacceptable, Please for the love of god do not buy this numpad.TLDR. RGB settings didn't save, keybinds didn't save, I have to reconnect the unit every time I turn on my computer, the software is atrocious, RGB on the unit stays on even once the computer is off And finally it likes to just turn off while using my desktop.I bought the Keychrone Q0 Plus instead. The color is different but oh well. here's to hoping it doesn't suck like this.

I bought this keypad to pair with a Kinesis Freeestyle2 RPG Gaming Keyboard. It sits very nicely in between the two halves of the keyboard, right above a wireless touchpad. The build quality is just amazing, the keys feel nice to use, and I love the knob and slider - in fact, those last two are why I bought it in the first place. I intended to use that slider as a master volume control for my whole system, and it does that quite well.One minor complaint is that if I try to use it while charging it, its input is really, really delayed. The issue goes away off the charger, but it's annoying when you want to use it while charging.So as others have said and will continue to say, the Glorious Core software is just plain terrible. While it is certainly intuitive, and has a nice low system impact when running, it's just so ridiculously limited in how it lets you configure your device. So here's where the worst part comes:The software lets you map the knob and slider to ONLY two options: Volume control, or OFF. THAT'S IT.This initially REALLY irritated me. I expected this $100 keypad to have a lot more customization. I was about to pack it up and send it back, when I remembered... oh yeah! ReWASD!I've been a user of the ReWASD app for a long time, so loaded it up to see if I could use it to remap the volume knob to something more useful. Sure enough, after initializing the keypad in ReWASD, building a new profile for it, and adding the "volume up" and "volume down" items in there, I was easily able to re-map them to something else. As a simple test I set them to mouse scrolling. Worked perfectly!The only downsides are two: 1. You still can't re-map the slider, as ReWASD won't detect it (but I like it how it is anyway so no biggie). 2. You need to purchase the ReWASD app separately. I'm positive there are other apps out there that can do the same thing, but ReWASD is what worked for me.

The media could not be loaded. I have a Glorious GMMK3 Pro 75% keyboard, many of my day to day life operations and some of my gaming takes a number pad. I reluctantly order this, thinking it would all be cheap plastic. It's actually made out of very high quality aluminum! It's plu and play and easy to customize through the Glorious Core app on your PC pr laptop. You can connect wired, wirelessly, and through Bluetooth. All around great quality! (The keycaps are not the keys that originally come on it, they are aftermarket Glorious Keycaps).

The led backlighting is very dark compared to my gmmk pro, and the colors never match. The slider seems like a nice touch, but I can't confirm if it even works.The glorious software is horrendous. I was unable to get it to work at all. I tried changing the lighting, nothing happened. I tried changing the button functions, none of the settings stuck. I tried to program different layers, nope.If this keypad wasn't supported by qmk I would have returned it. If you don't know what qmk is you should not buy this.

I enjoy the numpad as it feels solid to the touch. Hardware wise, great piece of equipment if you're using it a lot. The issue I'm having with it is the Glorious Core and recently updated Core 2.0 software that accompany it. I have a GMMK2 65 Keyboard that had issues with double typing letters. I update the firmware to QMK and the issue is gone and the keyboard works like a charm. I wanted to do the same with the numpad but I lose the function of LED lighting and the Bluetooth connectivity when flashing to QMK firmware. GLORIOUS, this message is to you! Fix and update QMK to work with LED's and Bluetooth so I can give it a great review!
