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

You wont find boards of this build for a cheaper price. Software could be a bit more on the color side but over all its a great keyboard. Highly recommend akko jelly blues for it.

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.

I paired the tenkey less board with lubed gateron brown switches and clipped/band aid modded the keyboard. The stabilizers are good for clip in, but screw in would make it better, though there are no pcb hole for screws. The board has good weight and sound, I tried to add more foam to the inside, but I could not get 1/8 inch to fit, so try very thin sheets if you are planning on putting in more. It already comes with some foam though that is not required. The software is good for what it is and you never have to mess with it if you use on board controls. The RGB is bright and vibrant, though making it brighter would make it even better. It has a sleek minimal design that allows for you to truly customize this board to the max. I have enjoyed it and I cannot wait to try some new switches in the hot swappable pcb.

The aluminum chassis feels and looks great, the Per-key-LED looks gorgeous, especially with pudding keycaps and transparent switch housing, and I am overall very satisfied with this product and now use it as my daily driver. However, there are two minor complaints. First, the stabilizers kind of suck. I have some quiet switches, so for the most part my typing experience has a low volume and a very satisfying sound profile, but the keys that have stabilizers kind of ruin it; theyre loud and clicky. Luckily, by design, theyre easy to remove, so modding or replacing them isnt difficult. They come pre-lubed, though, so if you dont care about the sound they still feel smooth out of the box. The second issue I personally had is that the scroll lock indicator light doesnt seem to work. In MS Excel, I can press the Scroll Lock key, and the program shows that it does indeed turn on, so the key does work and I still have that functionality, so I decided not to get a replacement since I dont use that feature at all (because, lets be honest, who here even know what Scroll Lock does?).

The market for full size custom keyboards is basically non existent so there isnt a ton of choice. This one is almost great. Build quality is good. LEDs are bright. Design is pretty clean. But the tolerances are not great though. Ive had a ton of trouble getting my switches socketed in properly. Its not easy to open up the case for modding. The best thing this has going for it is that its regularly in stock. But if there was a viable competitor Id have gotten that instead.

This keyboard. I great I can throw any switch on this it Is great the rgb is bright and I love this keyboard

This was a great buy, would totally reccomend.

Definitely did not like this keyboard, even after all the mods I could think of. It just sounds awful, better of Plast-dipping the inside case for any kind of dampening since theres no room for foam. The aluminum is cheap and bad. Most importantly the tolerance on the keyswitch holes is too loose. Taking off keycaps will remove your switch which already adds a lot of stress on the hotswap sockets. Meaning if youre only swapping keycaps frequently, youll still end up with a bum board sooner than normal because your switches will also come out anyways. Spend a couple more bucks and get something in the $100 range if you really want to buy this. I wouldnt recommend it, but if its what you got free as a gift or just the price is too good or whatever it isnt worth it.

Good software, comfortable keyboard with good responsiveness. Great value.

We got this in February last year, and in a couple months the keyboard died to static electricity. We got it again thinking we just got a faulty board, but now its died again in the same way.
