Glorious GMMK Pro 75 Pre-Built Keyboard Black Slate

This keyboard is meant to offer the premium feel of a custom-built model without needing to wait for parts or needing to assemble it yourself. The package certainly looks nice. The board is incredibly solid feeling, and it doesn't suffer from the two things that I hate about most mechanical keyboards: stabilizer rattle and spring ping. Indeed, the sound and feel of the stabilizers and switches is top-notch. However, what ultimately makes this board not worth buying was the fact that they used far, far too much lubricant on the switches and stabilizers. This caused the larger keys (spacebar, left shift, backspace) to feel like you were pressing them into a marshmallow. What's more, Glorious acknowledges that this could be a problem and advises people to rapidly press ... MoreThis keyboard is meant to offer the premium feel of a custom-built model without needing to wait for parts or needing to assemble it yourself. The package certainly looks nice. The board is incredibly solid feeling, and it doesn't suffer from the two things that I hate about most mechanical keyboards: stabilizer rattle and spring ping. Indeed, the sound and feel of the stabilizers and switches is top-notch. However, what ultimately makes this board not worth buying was the fact that they used far, far too much lubricant on the switches and stabilizers. This caused the larger keys (spacebar, left shift, backspace) to feel like you were pressing them into a marshmallow. What's more, Glorious acknowledges that this could be a problem and advises people to rapidly press and release the sticking keys until it loosens up. Despite my having done this, it still didn't fully resolve the problem. If I'm spending this kind of money on a keyboard, I expect perfection, and this product substantially missed the mark.

The price might seem quite a bit crazy, and for the average consumer it probably is. However, this keyboard is top notch. Not only are the physical materials used of high quality, you can replace every switch and every key cap on the keyboard.Not to mention, you can use QMK toolbox to flash QMK onto the keyboard, which allows you to map any key on the keyboard to do anything QMK supports. For example, I could make my keyboard shut down my computer when I press the “ESC” key, as an example.

I really love this keyboard, it's fantastic. It has great weight to it and a nice sound. The quality of the keyboard itself is superb, I can't find any obvious machining defects on mine.The one downside is that the factory stabilisers that come with it are pretty awful, you'll need to replace them with something better.With that being said, the plate absolutely loathes aftermarket stabilisers as it made it incredibly difficult to get it back on with anything but the GOAT stabilisers. Be prepared to ignore the warning signals going off in your brain and keep pushing that plate down til it fits.
