Glorious GMMK 2 96 Pre-Built Keyboard Black

Keyboard ended up as good as I thought it would be, but one thing I didn't expect was to like the Fox switches. I was fully ready to just swap them for gateron black switches I'd been using, but to my surprise, they were very good. I've never taken to switches that require low actuation force because the game I play often I end up just missing inputs. Reds were bad for that. These seem the same as reds, but bottom out sooner, which I think is the key. They also seem to be very quiet which was a pleasant surprise. Out of the box, this is a great keyboard.

What a fantastic purchase. I couldn't be happier. The keyboard feels good to type on. The LED light customization is top notch. The website is helpful, the app that comes from the manufacturer's site is high quality.They've made a fan and an addict out of me. So good job all around.I do like the weight of the keyboard. It's about a kilo. It feels really nice that it doesn't slide around like smaller, lighter keyboards.

An amazing product!!

I needed a quiet keyboard, a keyboard that sounded pretty as I do a lot of programming and do nothing but listen to the click clacks of a mechanical keyboard. I needed a compact and quiet keyboard as to not wake anyone up, and this was a great choice. I don't have any experience in buying keyboards, and the staff made sure to help me out and even let me test the quality and sound out. Every department I cruised around in after was full of staff ready and asking if I needed any help with anything. Overall a great experience and product, can't wait to go back!

GMMK 2 White

This is a solid keyboard and you can tell from the get go that its well constructed. Switching from Mac chicklet keyboard and a K400 its a quantum leap.After researching and watching plenty of reviews I settled on the GMMK 2 White as my first mechanical keyboard. But it was out of stock, I considered ordering from the manufacturer, but it upped the cost and if anything went wrong I'd have to ship it back to the US.I'm glad that I decided to wait. Once it was back in stock delivery was pretty much the next working day.Its still early days, but so far, its better then any other that I've used.

Glorious!

This keyboard is legendary! Glorious to say the least. I went from a Red Dragon Keyboard that was nice and I utilized for a few years. But once I upgraded to this keyboard I just could not imagine going back to anything else. The size is perfect - the keys are perfect - the colors are amazing. I am a huge fan and I will continue to buy these keyboards for many years to come.

Great Keyboard for everyday use!

I've been using this keyboard for home and work use for about a month. It is sturdy and easy to clean. The action is smooth and took no effort to acclimate to. I used the Glorious Core software to remap a few keys to places I preferred. This is then programmed into the keyboard and goes to whatever CPU the keyboard is hot-plugged into.I used this to replace a compact wireless keyboard that I had been using for home/office use since 2019. The extra keystrokes of working from home killed the keyboard after 3 years. I expect this keyboard to last much longer.

Great keyboard at a competitive price

TL;DR:Flexibility of full custom keyboard at a very reasonable price.Changing switches is easy. If you're in store, try some different switches to get a good fit for you since it's pretty subjective.96% size is great if you want a smaller keyboard, but need the numpad.RGB customization works pretty well if you're into that sort of thingFull reviewI picked this keyboard up to replace my old Logitech using Cherry brown switches, and this was a definite upgrade in every way.The modularity of the switches is a nice feature. I know most people will pick a switch and never use the feature again, but if you like to tinker, or you want to try out new switches, it makes it very easy to do so.I wasn't the biggest fan of the linear switches that came with this ... MoreTL;DR:Flexibility of full custom keyboard at a very reasonable price.Changing switches is easy.

I know most people will pick a switch and never use the feature again, but if you like to tinker, or you want to try out new switches, it makes it very easy to do so.I wasn't the biggest fan of the linear switches that came with this keyboard because I prefer tactile switches. The microcenter employee let me try out several different switches in the store, and I was able to land on one that I really liked. I was originally planning on getting the Glorious panda switches, but after trying a few out, I settled on the Kailh pro Purple switches. These switches are actually cheaper than the Pandas, so not only did I get switches that I like better, but I saved a little money as well. Changing out the switches was simple as well. A bit time consuming changing out over 100 switches, but honestly not difficult.I went for the 96% size keyboard because I can't give up the number pad, but this saves a pretty good amount of space. It's about 2 keys wider than a standard TKL layout, but retains the number pad.Keyboard is full per key RGB and customization is pretty simple to do if your into that. I didn't buy for the RGB, but having the backlighting is definitely nice.Strongly recommend for people looking for something better than your big brand (Razer, Logitech, Corsair etc...) mechanical keyboards, but don't want to want to go down the deep and expensive rabbit hole of full custom keyboards.

High quality and customizable, but at a premium.

This keyboard is pretty worthwhile even at its high price tag. The build quality matches it's premium price with strong yet smooth red-like linear switches that offer a quiet yet still obviously mechanical touch and the keyboard itself is made of a strong metal that gives it a premium feel. It also has nice double-shot keycaps which mean the letters won't rub out over time from use which is a must from an aesthetics side. It's form factor is smaller than most other keyboards due to the tighter spacing of it's keys which is also nice for table space. The keyboard has it's own software which you can use to customize the RGB to an extensive amount, you can even customize each individual key yourself if you like. The software also allows for more customization such as ... MoreThis keyboard is pretty worthwhile even at its high price tag.

The software also allows for more customization such as replacing the functions of your keys such as mapping the 'A' key to now type 'B', or even adding in your own macros or making that 'A' key open a program. Last but not least the switches are swappable meaning that if the red-like switches aren't to your liking you can easily swap them out for something else -a function most other keyboards don't have. If I had any complaints it would be the lack of any USB passthrough, for a keyboard of this price I think that would be nice to have. Overall though I would definitely recommend this keyboard, it's price is reflected in it's quality and future proofing through swappable parts.

This product has great quality and features.

The glorious keyboard is just that, glorious. It is compact and the switches on it feel amazing. When first looking at this keyboard, you think it would be expensive, but it is completely affordable while maintaining the quality of a high end keyboard. I love being able to customize the rgb and pattern on my keyboard to match my set up. Overall great product, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a smaller keyboard and great quality.

Very glorious keyboard

I really love this keyboard. It feels really good to type on. The hot swappable key switches sounds really good too. The RGB shines through clearly because of the transparent Fox switches and customising the light patterns is very easy through the Glorious software or the keyboard itself. The keyboard is worth for its price.
