Glorious PC Gaming Race Gmmk TKL - Barebone, ANSI-LAYOU

great price and great quality, really easy to install the switches

Everything you expect.

This is probably the cheapest but best quality keyboard i have seen out there it is bare bones so I assembled it and it looked good and there is already gone in the case if you put 1 more layer it’s perfect best keyboard I have ever bought

It is a great product for the price!

Fantastic, good-looking, well built keyboard. But, while I would love to keep it, I unfortunately bought it by mistake. Even though it was clearly marked as bare bones. I was locking for a complete keyboard. I should have known the price was too good. In another life maybe.

Ive been wanting to pick one of the glorious keyboards for awhile because its kind of a quick way to get into the custom keyboard market. Mostly by getting barebones so you can choose your own switches and keycaps. I went with gateron blacks myself. Feel great. I overall very satisfied with my purchase and glad that I went ahead and did it. Highly recommend.

Is this the best way to build a custom keyboard without spending ridiculous amounts of money? Yes. Is this an incredible value? Yes. Is it perfect? No. The build quality is solid, and the non-detachable cable doesnt particularly bother me, but there are still a couple things wrong with it. The first thing is the lighting. The RGB is pretty weak, especially with thicker doubleshot PBT keycaps. You really have to use the brighter colors if you want decent shine-through. Depending on what color you like you backlighting, it may or may not be a problem, but its something to note. The second thing, and the more important one, is the stabilizers. The lube job is inconsistent at best. Some of them are perfectly fine, others are severely overlubed or underlubed. My backspace is bone-dry, while my spacebar got all of the lube that my backspace key didnt. Its a minor thing, I suppose, but considering that the Glorious Panda switches are lubed pretty damn well from the factory, I expected a bit better quality on their board. Even their pro, which costs quite a bit more than this (despite being less keyboard) shares this problem. I dont know what caused them to have such an inconsistent lube job, but if they were to fix that, I would be willing to give them 5 stars, even with the weaker RGB. Regardless, great board, especially at the current price ($55 at the time of this review), so if youre looking for a solid full-sized board, the GMMK is nearly impossible to beat for the money.

My first diy keyboard and this was so much fun. easy to use and sounds great.

Worked for what I needed, seems sturdy and solid, have only had it for a few weeks though, but so far so good. Decent value.

usb-c, hotswap, formfactor that supports many keycap combos. check, check check,. plus its good quality for what you get. greater starter board if you like to hotswap a lot.
