Glorious Custom Gaming Keyboard - GMMK 85% Percent TKL - USB C Wired Mechanical Keyboard - RGB Hot Swappable Switches & Keycaps - Silver/White Metal Top Plate

I have this TKL (ten keyless) Glorious Modular Mechanical Keyboard (GMMK) and a compact version of the GMMK and they are both AWESOME! They are very affordable for a mechanical keyboard and the ability to hot swap switches is unheard of. I have Gateron black switches for keys I want to be harder to press (space bar, enter, caps lock, etc.) and Gateron clear switches for keys I want to be easier to press (Ctrl, Function, Alt, Shift x 2, etc.) and although the keyboard is awesome with all Gateron Brown switches, the ability to play around with different switches all for under $120 is incredible. The GMMK with the semi-aluminum build is nice as it is heavy and feels very sturdy. The rubber feet keep the keyboard in place and the adjustable feet is a nice addition. There is even a key cap puller permanently mounted on the bottom out of the way. Would say out of the compact and TKL I definitely prefer the TKL as it is nice being able to hit the arrow keys, home, end, delete and print screen without having to use the function key first, but again the compact is awesome as well. If you have never used a keyboard smaller than a full size one, would probably suggest the TKL as it is a nice trade off of reducing space, but not giving up some dedicated keys. You could always buy a dedicated numerical keypad to go with the compact one though. The only downside I can think of to the GMMK is the USB micro connector. Wish it was USB C, but since both the TKL and compact ones use the same connector, it is easy for me to swap out keyboards as needed. Again, for the price and the ability to hot swap switches, you wont find anything better than the GMMK and Gateron brown switches are a great all-around switch for everyone. They have tactile feedback without the extra loud clickyness of the blue switches. I will probably end up buying another GMMK TKL before to long.

Very good keyboard for gaming. No complaints at all would recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap and good keyboard.

very clickity and clackity, works very well and i love typing on it

I nearly returned this keyboard for a number of reasons:

I love the product! The brown switches are perfect for my needs. I type for sometimes 10 hours a day so I needed a keyboard that could handle that. Unfortunately on the very first day, the space bar has begun to squeak whenever pressed down. This has become quite annoying as I hit the space bar a lot, as you can imagine.

I got this keyboard as a starting point for a custom mechanical keyboard. Im not using it for gaming at all -- just typing. So I basically have the RGB turned off -- though I do appreciate that you can control it without the software, which is Windows only and (at the time I tried it) one of those things that ignores DPI settings so is unusable on large 4K displays.

He absolutely loved the keyboard keys especially! Very crisp sounding keys.

Not using for gaming so cannot speak directly to that, but fantastic keyboard with great feel and rock solid build. And the RGB effects make work more fun

This thing is solid and is a great deal. Only $80 for an aluminum board with hot swappable switches. The keys are only ABS plastic but they have a nice texture to them that make them feel premium. The feet are also very grippy which is great for gaming. It does sit very low with only a small incline on the feet, so if you like a taller or more angled board it wont be for you. You definitely wont need a wrist rest. The only feature Im missing from my old corsair board is the usb pass through to plug in controllers. I spent $200 on that corsair board only for it to break a few years later. This board blows the corsair away with the same style switch in it and you can change them out if they fail...

I needed a keyboard with the number pad, do a lot of heavy typing as well as some gaming and the GMMK is perfect for both. Coming with brown switches was the best choice for me because of how I use it. I also live with two small children, that like to type, and when they do they type very very hard. It is great peace of mind knowing that I can replace the maps and switches. Ive never been huge into RGB, but the backlighting customization is great.
