Glorious Custom Gaming Keyboard - GMMK 85% Percent TKL Barebone - USB C Wired Mechanical Keyboard Kit - RGB Hot Swappable Switches & Keycaps - Black Metal Top Plate

First off, it's a floating key design. This means there is no bezel around the switches. That look was popular with gaming keyboards a few years ago. Custom keyboard enthusiasts generally frown upon it now. That out of the way, at 55 dollars this board is a good buy. It feels solid. The weight is from 3 cheap metal blocks stuck in the case, not from thick, high-density structural materials like some high-end boards But the weights don't move around, and are only visible with the case open. My board is modified. I replaced the included foam with thicker neoprene foam. I left the stabilizers stock, as they seemed to be adequately lubed. If you're doing your first build, they might not bother you. They're better than those on cheap, standard/gaming keyboards. But if you're looking for good sound, you might want to consider modifying or replacing the stabilizers. With Kailh Pro Purple switches, the look, sound, and feel of this board is something I'm proud of. I've gotten compliments on it several times. I you're looking to build your first budget mechanical keyboard and don't want to go with a more enthusiast entry level board, I say go for it. This is a great platform to start with. If I couldn't build another board and had to use this one indefinitely, I think I'd be quite happy with it. But building custom keyboards is addictive. I've already ordered some higher-end entry-level boards to explore the hobby further. I'm going for more thock next time.

This is my first jump into custom mech keyboards and all my criticisms are nit picky garbage that doesn’t at all change the fact that I highly recommend this board. First note: the included keycap pry tool is a bit finicky to get out of the chassis and the experience of trying to pry it out makes me nervous I might scratch or damage the case. Second note: documentation doesn’t say anything about the win lock key’s existence and there aren’t labels for the two LED’s that sit above the arrow keys (caps lock and win lock respectively). Only other criticism: I sometimes wish the feet on the bottom of the board propped it up a bit higher. Now for the good stuff: the case feels well built, sounds nice, the stabs are a huge upgrade over the stock crap I was using before, the RGB looks great and is very flexible, the software is highly customizable and has great macro support, absolutely zero noticeable input delay or rollover issues, and even the included cable is pretty sweet. Honestly really enjoy using this board, I don’t see myself upgrading past it any time soon. Again, all my criticisms are basically non-issues in day to day use, and this is overall a 5 star product. These minor criticisms are really more there for the manufacturers’ benefit than users because all of these issues are pretty easy fixes if they were to make another edition of the board and this is just my two cents. To someone looking at getting into custom mech keyboards, this is one of the best options out there and I stress again that after messing with this board for a while I absolutely do not see myself needing to upgrade any time soon.

To say this is the best barebones keyboard for the price out there would be an understatement. Arrived with two keycaps, switch puller and keycap removal puller. Along with a 4-6 feet cable, not sure exactly. The cable is braided very nice, long, and durable. Now let’s talk about the actual keyboard itself. It has a awesome durable frame, good elevation clips to put it on a angle, and it’s super beautiful. No big logos anywhere, and has a silver outlining. The stabilizers are awesome, insane. They all come Pre-Lubed which is outstanding for this price, and they are nice stabilizers in general. Although the left shift stabilizer popped, which basically it’s like the sound of it stock. It doesn’t effect it working wise. It will though change the sound of it so it sounds like a regular old stabilizer. That’s OK, as long as you have a good switch to pair it with. I used Gateron Yellows lubed, and they sound just immaculate. They were super easy to pop in, but one of them if you misplace the switch, the one or two pins bend which isn’t good. You can try bending them back, but it could be hard depending on how bent it got. I do think the RGB could use a tiny, tiny bit of help. Don’t get me wrong, the software is awesome. But not that. When you turn it on with no switches, it’s super bright, not with switches. I used Gateron Yellows lubed and Gateron switches have the standard opening for the RGB, but it still doesn’t shine through with colored HK gaming Gateron Lubed Yellows. I highly recommend getting the GMMK switch test pack along with this, so you can hear them in the board itself and choosing which one you like, you can’t find Gateron yellows in the Test Pack, but you can find switches like, Kailh Coppers, Kailh Box Brown, Kailh White Box, Kailh Red box, Gateron Blue, Gateron Green, and a few more. The pack also comes with O-rings as well. I honestly believe the Drop Barebones Keyboards are good, but not for the hefty price, (Around 170-200$) so I really think, this is a great option for people that wanna build but don’t wanna solder and program. Thank you for your time.

Love these keyboards for the price they can’t be beat I own multiple. Perfect for someone looking to get into building keyboards or just wants the ability to customize

great barebones for a custom build. Very sturdy, used for 2+ years now.

個人的にはタイトルの通り、「キーアサインの変更設定が本体内に保存出来る」のが最大のポイント。 以前にPulsarのTKLも購入したのですが、TLK版は専用アプリを起動している間だけキーアサイン変更が有効という事でがっかりしてたところ、本製品を発見。 こちらはキーボード本体内のメモリに設定を保存し、どの環境でもその設定で利用出来たので、一安心です。 惜しむらくは、ソケットが3ピンのため利用可能な軸に制限があるところでしょうか。 GMMK v2は5ピン対応らしいので、そちらが入手出来るようになったら試してみたいですね。

This is a great keyboard so far, but the USB-C port is horrible. There's only one, straight out the middle of rear, and there's zero reinforcement. There's no way it's going to last, which is extremely disappointing.

Muy contento con el teclado. Al principio comprar las teclas en inglés me daba un poco de reparo por el tema de acentos y eñes. Así que programar se ha vuelto una tarea más agradecida para dedos y muñecas. La verdad que es sencillo y cómodo añadir acentos y eñes (Al menos en linux), así que ahora me arrepiento de no haberlo comprado años antes. Lo utilizo con switches cherry brown y la verdad que estoy super contento con el teclado. Lo volvería a comprar.

El GMMK 1 es un teclado decente, el software es necesario si no tendras problemas, al momento de terminar de armarlo y estarlo probando tenia muchos problemas, algunas teclas se escribian doble, otras no aparecian a pesar de presionar varias veces (pense que eran mis switches pero despues de probarlos en otro teclado me di cuenta que no), tiene un sonido muy hueco recien salido de la caja, asi que le hice varias modificaciones para eliminarlo lo mas posible. Si piensas comprarlo si o si compra otros establizadores, los que trae son muy malos. Edicion 8 de septiembre 2023: A pesar de ponerle nuevos switches, cambiar los estabilizadores y hacer un sin fin de mods este teclado simplemente no es bueno, quieres sacar una teclado y te traes contigo todo el switch completo con la posibilidad de doblar los pines, sigue con problemas de ghosting donde no detecta varias veces al presionar. Simplemente malo como la gran mayoría de productos de "Glorious", definitivamente busca otra mejor opción.

普通に良いキーボードキットだし色んなキースイッチとかキーキャップとか組み合わせて使ってるけど、しばらくすると動画みたくカチャカチャ音がスタビライザー付きのキー、例えばEnter,Space,backspaceキー中心に鳴り出します。ルブスプレーとか試して見たけど効果ゼロ。やっぱり分解するしかない。めんどくさい。ついでに言うとEpomaker見たくキットの中に静音パッドが入ってないからクリーミーな音も出ずらいし静音軸もわりかし音がする。 しかしながら、EverglideのApua king V3 Switch 67gfとの相性は群を抜いて良い。最高のコトコト音が実現されます。
