## Description

desertcart.com: GLORIOUS Custom Gaming Keyboard - GMMK 85% Percent TKL Barebone - USB C Wired Mechanical Keyboard Kit - RGB Hot Swappable Switches & Keycaps - Black Metal Top Plate : Electronics

Review: My Main - I own a lot of keyboards, I admit, I may have a problem, including the more expensive GMMK Pro, Durgod Hades, Eluktronics MKB, and a variety of Razer boards, but the GMMK1 TKL (the one I am reviewing here) I use the most in my current configuration for a variety of reasons. It is modded in the following ways: Even though I liked the stock Gateron Brown switches for a while, they seemed a bit too light, so I decided to totally over-kill it and get Kailh Box Ancient Greys -- linear switches with the actuation force of 95g or so. I am still getting used to them but the nice thing about them is that I rarely bottom the keys out now, which to me makes these switches feel like they are faster than the Browns. And certainly just out of this world strange and fun to use, giving my fingers a workout. I installed tall SA profile keycaps but didn't break the bank and got some decent but cheap PBT caps with the transparent legend. The brand name on the box is MIHIYIRY. The stock ABS keycaps are fine and worked well with the Brown switches, they are not super thin, feel good and the legends come through sharp and nice. Not a big fan of the Cherry profile but that's what is popular these days. Replaced stock stabilizers, out of boredom more so than for legit reasons, to the plate-mounted Durock V2s, and put ungodly amount of Glorious-branded grease into the joints of the stabs. The heaviness of the Greys with the action of the Durocks totally eliminate any rattle (that was nearly non-existent in the first place), and this combination feels very good together. The heavy springs certainly allow the extra amount of grease not to cause any slowing down. Though I am sure some Enthusiasts might frown upon the quantity of grease I used. I think it's fine, it hasn't short-circuited the board yet. I think the grease mostly stays where it's meant to be. :) GMMk1 has good medium weight to it, and I play sitting cross-legged with the keyboard resting on my legs and lap. It feels heavy enough not to slide away easily but not so heavy that it interrupts the blood-flow. Works well with a full-sized wristrest I have. The keeb has just good solid weight that doesn't make it feel cheap. Rubber feet serve their purpose on hard surfaces well. Due to the lower price, considering the features, I am not so afraid to bang it up by an accident. It does feel quite sturdy, good strong plastic and the metal plate sits very tight. There's no flex of any nature or any kind of squeaky plastic noises. Black PCB looks great as well. It's certainly not the cheapest PCB out there, too. The combination of the Greys, Durocks, Glorious grease and SA caps feels very good for gaming and typing. It was the experiment with a happy end! All the components working together, along with the right weight and good ergonomics for my use-case -- make it to be my main keyboard, that is also easy & light enough to carry around with a laptop. Of course I love my modded GMMK Pro more, like someone would adore their precious sports-car, but it's been sitting in the garage, figuratively speaking (its case, actually), while this guy here has been getting me through most of my days and nights! The RGB LEDs are very bright, by the way, in case this matters a lot to you, and there are plenty of effects accessible right from the keyboard without any need for software (take that, Razer Synapse!). The bottom line: this keyboard is easy and pleasant to mod, and thus has a lot of potential, the right price, great build quality, it looks sexy, and has good-to-very-good components in the per-built configuration. I like it a lot, don't regret the purchase. If it gets stolen, I would buy it and mod it again!
Review: Fantastic entry level board for mech enthusiasts or p much anyone - This is my first jump into custom mech keyboards and all my criticisms are nit picky garbage that doesn’t at all change the fact that I highly recommend this board. First note: the included keycap pry tool is a bit finicky to get out of the chassis and the experience of trying to pry it out makes me nervous I might scratch or damage the case. Second note: documentation doesn’t say anything about the win lock key’s existence and there aren’t labels for the two LED’s that sit above the arrow keys (caps lock and win lock respectively). Only other criticism: I sometimes wish the feet on the bottom of the board propped it up a bit higher. Now for the good stuff: the case feels well built, sounds nice, the stabs are a huge upgrade over the stock crap I was using before, the RGB looks great and is very flexible, the software is highly customizable and has great macro support, absolutely zero noticeable input delay or rollover issues, and even the included cable is pretty sweet. Honestly really enjoy using this board, I don’t see myself upgrading past it any time soon. Again, all my criticisms are basically non-issues in day to day use, and this is overall a 5 star product. These minor criticisms are really more there for the manufacturers’ benefit than users because all of these issues are pretty easy fixes if they were to make another edition of the board and this is just my two cents. To someone looking at getting into custom mech keyboards, this is one of the best options out there and I stress again that after messing with this board for a while I absolutely do not see myself needing to upgrade any time soon.

## Features

- Fully Modular Keyboard: As the first Hot Swap RGB gaming keyboard, GMMK features hot swap switch sockets so you can plug in and out switches as your DIY preference (Does not support 5 pin switches, you can cut off the plastic legs of the switch to make it compatible). No need to solder for hours. Featuring per key 16.8 million RGB, fully customizable with our GMMK Software, and major RGB patterns can be set from the keyboard hotkeys directly without software.
- Compatible Mechanical Switches: GMMK is compatible with a wide range of 3-pin plate mounted Mechanical switches. You can use linear, clicky or tactile switch to make a quiet office setup as well as your setup. The barebones keyboard is compatible with backlit RGB SMD LED compatible switches like most Cherry, Gateron and Kailh Switches so transparent keycaps legends become extra bright full of RGB and easy to read. You can swap any 3 pin Mechanical clicky, linear, or tactile switches with GMMK.
- OEM Layout: A standard ANSI layout with standard sized bottom row makes GMMK widely compatible with 3rd party standard keycaps available in the current marketplace - with brands like Keychron, Akko, RK Royal Kludge, Epomaker, etc and with a wide range of colors like white, black or pink keycaps make the RGB keyboard pop out. The full aluminum metal top plate and ABS plastic bottom plate make the build perfect for fine sound tuning - be it clacky or thocky.
- Superior Ergonomics and Compatibility: With the in built stand, angle of the keyboard can be changed to match a more ergonomic typing experience. This keyboard kit is compatible with OEM sculpted keycaps so your fingers and hand joints can preserve the jelly like substance and do not become stiff over time. GMK Keyboard is compatible with a wide range of operating systems like Windows, Mac and keyboard supported consoles (PS4 PS5 XBOX).
- Warranty: GMMK has a free and included 1 Year Limited Manufacturer Warranty.
