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

Bought this board to make a custom keyboard, but when it arrived, the first thing I noticed was no instructions were provided in the box. This was frustrating but not completely impossible to work around. However, after removing the first twelve screws, the remaining four, hidden under black tape, were much more difficult, with one screw being so tight it got stripped when I tried to unscrew it. I’m still attempting to free the screw but either way I am very disappointed in the product and will never buy from the brand again.

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 wont need another keyboard now. Love it but probably should have gotten TKL but they didnt have any in stock withe barebones and still dont. Glorious did thank me for the purchase and solicited me to write a review, though.

Disappointing to buy something metal and it comes bent and wont lie flat on the desk.

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

EDIT: Amazon delivered the replacement and its as expected. This thing is in terrible shape. Cap and switch pullers absent from box. Beat up metal, scratched and scuffed plastic, old oil on faceplate. Obviously used cable and the cable tie was full of hair (disgusting). Amazon after 1 hour and 5 calls has decided to issue a replacement. Il make an addendum to this review after I receive it.

Keyboard was DOA, but if you get a working one, It is very similar to the Drop Ctrl/Alt/Shift build but with an Aluminum and plastic body and 1/3 the cost. A detachable cable would be nice, but for those just getting into the Mechanical Keyboard community, this would be a great starting point.

When using this board with a regular A to C cable (like the one included) it works fine. But when using a C to C cable, the keyboard does absolutely nothing. Different cables make no difference. Otherwise great keyboard.

This is a very solid keyboard. The weight combined with the flip out feet of the keyboard keep it from moving while gaming and typing. The brightness is good enough to shine from under my non rgb key caps so i could only imagine how good it would look on the putting key caps from glorious. There is no flex and it even has foam in the case stock for sound dampining. The one and only thing i would complain about is the stablizers. They rattle even when lubed and band-aided. Overall a fantastic option for people who want a more custom keyboard.

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