GLORIOUS GMMK Full Size 100% Barebones Custom Keyboard Kit (Black)

I was looking for something inexpensive for my first custom build. It took the tape (I used masking tape on the back of the board) and foam (I used some unused 2mm foam underlay) mod with ease. The build quality is pretty good, nice and sturdy, the finish is stylish yet understated. It does require its own app to control the RGB (I tried openRGB, ut it didnt find it), which can be downloaded from the link on the quick start card, but its really easy to use and once you've set it up, it doesn't need to be running all the time!

Great build quality and price. The build is sturdy and has no flex to it. The feet open to a comfortable height and the customisability is great. I put some kailh speed pink switches in mine which is not an option offered by Glorious but still fit the SMD 3 pin connectors it has on the board. The whole build costed me £120 which with quality and features offered is a very compelling price for something you can tailor to your own preference. If 4.7 stars was possible i would give it that as the rgb is a little dimmer than I hoped but is not too dim that its distracting or causes issues with the lighting.

Excellent starting barebones keyboard

DO NOT BUY. Software completely broken, and has been for at least a year. While the construction quality and RGB brightness is at least passable, this keyboard simply can't be used as advertised due to the lack of working software.

Tras muchos años con un Logitech G710+ e investigando sobre "tendencias actuales" en los teclados me topé con los teclados custom y tras investigar un tiempo me decidí por este hotswap de Glorious como un equilibrio entre precio, versatilidad, comodidad y calidad. Al ser hotswap es muy cómodo debido a que te evitas el engorro de tener que soldar (y sobre todo desoldar cuando quieras cambiar) los switches. Los estabilizadores son bastante mediocres pero son relativamente fáciles de modificar y/o sustituir. Posiblemente su punto flaco sea el software, que no me gusta demasiado, además de que si tienes varias versiones de teclados Glorious, cada uno tiene su software específico. Lo conseguí por unos ~70€, está bien, a nivel de otros barebones chinos, pero vendido y enviado por Amazon (con las garantías que ello acarrea). En el vídeo se puede ver con unos switches Gateron Silent Black y los keycaps Glorious GPBT.

Après avoir utilisé une Corsair et une Drevo, j'ai décidé d'assembler moi meme la clavier ideal. J'ai combiné cette base avec les switchs Kailh Speed Bronze et un set de keycaps Godspeed. J'ai pas installé du software et la clavier fonctionne parfaitement; on peut choisir les effets de retroeclairage par des combinaisons de clés, et le controle du volume est fait avec FN+F11 et F10. La base est solide et robuste, en metal, et a un "feel" premium.

Tangentbord utan tangentbordsknappar. Bra skämt. Jag är orolig för den som kom på det här...

This keyboard is really great! I saw some people talking about how it didn't have software and didn't work with CORE, but that's untrue. On the Glorious website, you can download the older version of the software that works with this keyboard. HOWEVER, I would not have known this keyboard *did* have software that worked with it if I hadn't accidentally gotten to the GMMK 1 product page on the Glorious website. So, I can't blame other buyers for not knowing about it. You can set a multitude of different effects and change the color to anything you want. It has a few colors in the color selector but you can click "other" and choose your own with the color wheel/hex code. It has 18 preset effects *and* an option to make a custom one. Haven't tried the custom one, so I can't say how it works, but it's there. So yes, there is definitely software for this keyboard. I used the Glorious Kaihl speed silver switches with it. Of course, I expected switches by the same brand to work together, so it wasn't a surprise, haha. They were easy to install. I saw a video of someone installing them where he took the top case off, but you do not need to do that with this one. The top case is aluminum, but the bottom is plastic. The keyboard is definitely wired, which it states in the listing, but the cable is quite long, so that isn't an issue for me. Prior to this I had a Redragon wireless keyboard, which was nice, but this one is much nicer (and is ISO, which is impossible to find with backlighting!) and since the cable is long, I don't have the issue I had with my previous wired keyboard which had a shorter cable, which prompted me to get the wireless one. I unfortunately have not gotten my ISO keycaps yet (I custom ordered them for Estonian legends) so I took the caps off my Redragon keyboard and "made it work," which is why I did not include a picture. It looks very silly, haha. However, I saw someone in another review state that the space bar they got did not fit this keyboard, and I am not sure why not, because the Redragon one fits fine, and it's a standard-size space bar. I do not think any standard set will include a space bar that is too long, but just in case, make sure to check that the one you want to get is the regular 6.25u kind and not the 7u. I figure the other reviewer may have had a 7u without realizing it. the only thing I could not make work was finding a correctly-sized key to go in the numpad 0 spot, since I used that key for the enter button, LOL! A fun experiment I suppose. Anyway, this is a really nice barebones keyboard. I have 0 complaints. The backlighting is great, you can change how strong it is and choose from a ton of patterns or make your own. The aluminum is cold. Not much else to say, I suppose.
