  • Decent entry-level DIY custom keyboard
The media could not be loaded. The Glorious Modular Mechanical Keyboard (GMMK) Barebones Edition serves as a good entry-level case and hot-swappable PCB so people who are curious about custom keyboards can get their feet wet in the hobby without spending too much on the switches and materials. Plus, the synergy with other supplies from the manufacturer (such as key switches and keycaps) ensures a one-stop shop for a beginner DIY build, a very important fact for a beginner. There are a couple drawbacks, but nothing bad enough to detract from the finished product. For this build, I chose the full-size layout because I use the numpad for schoolwork. I went with the barebones edition so I could add my preferred choice of keyboard switches and keycaps; I bought the Gateron Clear key switches (the 120-pack from the Glorious PC Gaming Race's website, to ensure compatibility with this board) and the Glorious Aura keycaps (also from the GPGR's website) to build on this product, to create the keyboard shown in the image above. Putting the pieces together using this board was very straight-forward. One negative was the included keycap puller to pry attached keycaps off of the keyboard; it is finicky, and is likely to mark or damage the bottom edge of the keycaps when you use it. Then again, one rarely sees the bottom edge of the keycap when the build is finished so only those making a serious final build for a client will be concerned with this problem. For beginners looking to make their very first board, the minor nicks and scratches will be at worst a minor nuisance and at best not even noticeable. Inserting the key switches was near-painless; the only times I was unable to insert a switch, it was due to human error on my part by mis-aligning the tiny wires on the key switches I purchased to use with this build. I only bungled one switch completely thankfully, and being able to repeatedly test the key switches to make sure they worked as intended while the keyboard was plugged into the computer made confirming proper installation very simple. There was some confusion when attaching the different key caps as this was my first time realizing just how many key caps there were and all the different places they go! With some effort I finally got it all installed, as you see in the image above! Aesthetically, the brightness was really good for the majority of the keyboard. I did notice that for the larger keys, like the spacebar or the shift/enter/backspace keys, there was only one LED light underneath the entire key. The spacebar in particular looked way too muted compared to the rest of the keyboard, because there was only one LED in the center attempting to light up the entire spacebar! Other than that, the brightness was set perfectly right out of the box, and the manual showed many ways I could adjust the brightness or the colors or the pattern in which the colors shift or whathaveyou. I did not test the software the manufacturer of the keyboard provides in order to manually adjust the lighting and colors of the board in much greater detail; I did not see a need to do so out of my personal preference, but the option is there for others. I have heard good things about it, so make of that what you will. The software is technically optional, so keep that in mind. In terms of subjective opinion of the finished product? The keyboard sounds and feels amazing, especially in contrast to my old Logitech G710 plus with its Cherry MX Brown switches (ugh, my old keyboard is HORRIBLE in comparison). Trying the Gateron Clears, a lighter and truly linear key switch, was a revelation, and my fingers practically fly across this keyboard when I type! The video above shows a typing demonstration of what this keyboard sounds like, and it is very crisp and responsive in my opinion! There is a satisfying clack when bottoming out with these switches and keycaps, and I am still adjusting to the lighter weight so I don't pound too hard on the board and hurt my fingers! I chalk that up to adjusting after a typing style that demanded heavy key-presses, and not a problem with the board or the build itself. The stabilizers for the bigger key caps do have a rattle to them, which does sound very different from the rest of the keyboard. Time will tell if this becomes a problem or not for me, but for now I am not bothered. Perhaps as I try out different switches in the future, I may decide to change out the stabilizers for something that doesn't rattle as much, but for now I have no problems with them personally. The overall build quality is very solid, the machined aluminum on the board has it feeling sturdy and weighted. This is a heavy keyboard, it is just as heavy as my giant old keyboard despite being smaller. The texture of the surface finish is a nice matte feeling, and after a week of typing on this board I have noticed zero issues or problems with the build. The addition of extra rubber feet I could add or swap out is helpful in deciding just how high a profile I want this keyboard to have, and the adjustable feet are nice for when I want the keyboard propped towards me. The braided cable is sturdy but flexible, and the board worked as intended out of the box. As mentioned before, building the keyboard with the switches and keycaps was very simple and straightforward. Overall, I would recommend this board for people curious about custom keyboards who want to understand the terminology, put together their own build, and do so with a minimum of hassle or issues. This board satisfies all of that criteria. People who have already spent months or years in the custom keyboard hobby do not need this board, and they likely know of better (possibly cheaper) alternatives, and/or know exactly what they want and how much it costs. This board is for people looking for that custom keyboard typing experience for the very first time, something they can change or modify as they desire over the course of a few months or a year as they learn their preferences and what works best for their typing style. For that purpose, it is very well-built and provides quite a lot of customization for the price, and for that purpose I highly recommend it! ... show more

  • 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! ... show more

  • Great keyboard, switches and keycaps for a very reasonable price.
Size: Prebuilt Full Size (96%) Style: Black
The GMMK 2 is an upgrade in all respects from the original GMMK. I really like the 96% layout since it feels like a TKL board but has a number pad. It's VERY quiet out of the box and the linear switches are smooth and nice to type on or game on. I generally prefer tactile switches (like Cherry MX Brown or Glorious Panda) but the Red Fox linear switches the GMMK2 comes with are very nice. The software and driver are functional. Not great but they work fine. You can set the input lag to 0ms, 8ms, or 16ms (it defaults to 16ms). Higher will avoid key chatter, lower will tighten up input lag. RGB lighting is very bright and there are numerous choices for patterns and the option of setting per key. Of note: There are 3 layers you can define settings for in the Glorious software. This includes macros and lighting settings for each layer. Hotkeys are definable to swap/cycle layers. It's a very nice keyboard, much better than it's predecessor (which is now discounted significantly). It may not measure up to some of the higher end custom build keyboards that are available through group buys or Drop, but it gets pretty close. Like, real close. Alternatively, you can look at the Keychron Q2 which would be a smaller keyboard with a knob. Build quality is slightly higher but so is the price. The GMMK Pro is also an option (again, smaller layout). But I would advise waiting to see if they port over some of the enhancements from the GMMK 2 to a new version of the Pro before buying one of those. TLDR; It's a great keyboard. Feels nice, sounds good, customizable if you want to change it later on. And the price is right. I like it. ... show more
