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

Flash points: - Extremely high quality for the price. Mostly aluminum body, thick braided USB, feet angle is great. Hard to top in price range. - Hot swap PCB constructed well - inserting and removing switches has caused ZERO issues (NOT SO ON ALMOST TWICE AS MUCH DROP CTRL, WHICH FAILED AFTER 2 SWITCH REMOVALS) - RBG light dispersion & patterns standard but quality My only complaint would be to eventually move to an all aluminum chassis for better sound, but they are solving for this by releasing the all aluminum GMMK Pro. Overall, nothing even close in the category. Hot swap opens up an entire switch world for the consumer to explore With the GMMK. Quality is very high for an entry level board. Don’t hesitate if on the fence - it’s a great board.

The first time i bought it it had a stripped screw so i ordered a replacement which had 2 stuck screws. thankfully i took them out and was able to open it. My over all impression of this board is its not the best the stabs are also very bad so you would have to buy better ones and spend 2 hours modding and replacing them. I would just spend a extra 30 dollars and get the vissles v34 which is a very good stock board with good stock stabs.

Works like a keyboard, the benefit is being able to hotswap 3-pin switches. (5-pin can be used after clipping off the 2 plastic pins)

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.

Everything you expect.

Got this for my son and he loves it. He is a avid gamer and he was surprised on the quality of it.

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

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.

Manufacturing defect causing the switches to be loose which is bad for traveling with your keyboard because they will fall out

the keyboard disconnects from the computer when lightly shocked by static, and the middle row stopped working after a larger static discharge. not a super huge issue but be careful as this seems like a flaw with the metal casing
