GLORIOUS Gaming - 65 Percent Keyboard - White Custom Layout - Compact Low-Profile - Hotswap w/Cherry Mx Style Switches - Incl. Double Shot Keycaps & Linear Switches - PC Gaming Setup Accessories

TLDR; I researched for weeks to find the quietest mechanical keyboard under $150 and this was the winner. Quiet, responsive, solid build, backlit AND readable in the dark, and built-in memory for macros/button customization. LED customization so it doesnt have to look so gamer-y. Excellent keyboard for the price! Pre-built was the most cost-effective way to go since it included the Fox linear switches. I originally purchased it thinking I would switch them to gateron browns, but the I actually really like the Fox switches. They are very responsive and very quiet! I needed something less clicky for when I was working from home because the logitch mx blue switches drove my wife crazy. Since I was using this for gaming and work, I wanted it compact with a numpad. The GMMK 2 delivered! Its only ~2 longer than most TKL boards and has enough separation between the arrows and numpad that I dont typo. The keyboard did have a little bit of a learning curve with a smaller (1u) 0 key on the numpad, but after this adjustment its been great. The Glorious software allows you to full customize the keyboard LEDs, button functions, and macros. Theres no dedicated Home button, so I was able to re-bind a key to do it. Another plus is this is a great beginner keyboard for those wanting to get into modding. I changed the keycaps to PBT and rubberized caps and made the keyboard even quieter and thoccy by doing the foam mod, bandaid mod, and adding O-ring. Rubberized arrow keycaps made for more textural separated to prevent typos even more.

I am by no means new to the mechanical keyboard scene, Ive seen countless (and owned) keyboards from many of the big name brands such as Logitech, Razer, Glorious, Corsair, and so on. This keyboard shocked me with its hefty and stocky feeling, the metal top frame, hot-swappable switches, allowing me to add most of the keys from my favor vendors, and the fact that there is fully adjustable RGB for each switch. Ive never used the Glorious Fox Red switches, but after using them, I can say that they are my favorite to date. The lubricating makes them silky smooth, making typing a pleasurable experience that isnt loud. Overall, I would say that this keyboard is a great deal, especially if youre looking to move on from the generic everyday keyboards, and want to break into the entry level enthusiast mechanical keyboard scene. It has great bones for future upgrades!

Hot swappable PCB, lubed proprietary Fox switches, lubed plate mount stabs, dampening foam, quality ABS keycaps, and a great suite for RGB control. The GMMK 2 looks and sounds nice for the price. With a great gateway for future switch and keycap upgrades. A nice board for those who want a really nice sounding and feeling and overall high quality keyboard, but dont want to have to pay the price or spend the time to go fully custom. Like me!!

First of all I started winning so many chicken dinners with this board. My KD went up by like a thousand percent. My production at work sky-rocketed because of the quiet pre-lubed Fox linear switches. I successfully defended my home from a robbery with this board in the middle of an intense final circle because its so heavy you can literally use it as a weapon. I discovered the meaning of life. Planted a tree. Bought a new house and ascended into keyboard greatness. Oh and you get some really cool stickers. So buy it.

Great keyboard

So far a great keyboard, it is steady, study and feels great when typing. My only complain is that some of the keys were put on the wrong spots... the T and the R are in the wrong spots and that is all I noticed so far but I would so far, recommend this keyboard.

This keyboard, the Glorious modular mechanical keyboard (GMMK) version 2, is a refresh of GMMK keyboard. It includes some improvements and other changes from the prior GMMK ver. 1 model, including: 1. Input latency can be set to as low as 2 ms, and as high as 16 ms. You must set the input latency via the Glorious Core software. This is upgrade from 20 ms in the prior model. 2. Polling rate can be set to as low as 125, and high as 1000 Hz. This is compared to 1000 hz in the prior model. 3. The USB/c cable is removable, so you can upgrade it if you like. Also, the USB/c port on the keyboard case is large and pretty standard, so it will basically take any USB/c cable. I mention this because some keyboards, for example Pwnage, use uniquely small USB/c ports on the keyboard case which makes it very difficult to replace the cable with anything but a Pwnage cable. This keyboard will accept any generic USB/c cable. 4. The switches are tagged “Glorious” so they are custom made for Glorious. The prior model used Gateron switches. There’s nothing in the specs that specifically the OEM provider for these switches, although you could take an educated guess. 5. There’s no longer a holder for the included keycap puller underneath the keyboard. In addition, this keyboard has a number of nice features: 1. 1Hot swappable, non-soldered, switches that are user-replaceable with a wide variety of available options. 2. Metal casing. The top faceplate is machined aluminum, and looks really sharp. It’s pretty solid, well-constructed, and has good weight to it. It’s not my heaviest keyboard but it’s almost there. I have a different keyboard with full machined aluminum casing, top to bottom, and it is heavier. 3. The lighting effects on the keyboard can be custom programmed on a per-key basis. 4. You can manually set the polling rate and input latency via the Glorious Core software. 5. This keyboard has really good weight and feel to it. However, the sound is a bit muted for a mechanical keyboard. I ordered this with Glorious red switches, which are in general on the quiet range of the sound spectrum, so the muted sound effects are somewhat to be expected. It’s just a lot more muted than I was expecting. 6. You can reprogram the inputs for the keys. In addition, this keyboard fully supports macro functionality. So basically, you click “record” and you can for example type any combo of keys on your keyboard, and then you can bind those actions in real time to any button on the keyboard. Any time you push that button, it will repeat exactly what you did during the recording. And you can set it with or without repeating. 7. The RGB lighting is highly customizable and looks good. The keys are raised off the keyboard and the colors glow softly from under the key caps. The light is a little softer than I was expecting, and could be stronger/brighter. I also noticed some areas for improvement: 1. The bottom half of the keyboard case is made of plastic. 2. It’s a straight keyboard with only one height setting. Namely, flat or raised. There’s no middle setting. 3. Ergonomics are pretty much lacking, aside from the ability to raise the height to 1 height setting. 4. There’s no wireless or Bluetooth option. This is a very minimalist design. I’m surprised, and also happy, that they even have an option for a full-size keyboard layout. But I needed the number pad. 5. The keyboard is very minimalist in design, and doesn’t have lights to indicate whether num lock or caps lock are engaged. Also, there’s no switching between mac and windows mode. 6. Initially I was upset that there’s no user manual included to tell you how to change the settings from the keyboard. Especially since there are 16 dual function keys. By dual function, I mean that there’s writing on two sides of the key; side and top. While it isn’t too hard to figure out that FN plus the light bulb up/down keys raises or lowers the brightness, and FN plus the “LED” button rotates though the RGB settings, there’s a white and black circle key that I have no idea what it does or how to activate it. There are some other labeled keys which remain a mystery to me. However, all the programming features are pretty intuitive to adjust within the Glorious core software, so its not a big deal. I also have their Glorious D mouse, and you can use the same software to program the mouse and keyboard. 7. The Glorious core software takes up half a gig on your hard drive. 8. There’s no Glorious PCMR decal for my desktop. Instead, you get the Glorious logo key where the ESC key goes. There’s also a standard escape key included if you don’t like it. 9. The included keyboard cable is braided and not very flexible. I prefer paracord cables because of their flexibility. In summary, this is a well-designed minimalist keyboard with a lot of areas for user-upgradeability and customization. I did not experience any lag, missed keys, double touches or sticking while using this keyboard. I really like the feel of it, as far as typing goes. The customization options are excellent. I think the biggest area for improvement is lack of a wireless option. There’s a ton of options out there for upgrading the switches and keycaps, if you’re into that, and if not, this is complete, ready-to-use keyboard without any modifications.
