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

This GMMK 2 from Glorious has been my daily use keyboard for the past few weeks now and I have to admit I am quite impressed with its out of the box performance. I know that at first Glorious with their early runs of the GMMK Pro were having issues with the lube on their stabilizers, but it seems like they have dialed it in and I am really pleased with the stabilizers on this board, there is little to no rattle on the modifier keys, except for the space bar which needs a little bit of work. The prelubed fox switches just feel like better cherry mx reds, their actuation force and overall feel are really similar to that of cherry mx reds but the smoothness is a bit better as they are lubed. The switch lubing seems to have been done quite well and I didnt notice any keys that felt over or under lubed. The keycaps are just standard double shot abs keycaps and feel as you would expect, the legend is crisp and the shine through backlighting looks great. The customizability in the Glorious Core software is really good and I have zero complaints there. The overall construction of the chassis is great it has a hunk of metal for a top half and the bottom is plastic which makes for some rather interesting acoustics, has a nice deep note to it without any of the pinging that comes with some poorly designed all metal boards. Overall this is a great starter board if you are looking to get into custom mechanical keyboards, it has fantastic out of the box performance but also has plenty of room to improve and that can be easily done with its hotswap sockets and relatively easy disassemble process.
