Review: 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.
Review: 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.

## Features

- ️ Cherry Blue, Kailh Green or even Gateron Brown If you want to use different switches in different situations, you no longer have to resort to a second keyboard. Glorious PC Gaming Race brings with the GMMK Compact a modular mechanical keyboard on which switches and of course Keycaps can be exchanged at will. Soldering is not necessary anymore
- ️ For this, Glorious PC Gaming Race also provides the right tool.Enclosed are both a Keycap and a Switch Puller with which all 62 buttons of the GMMK Compact can be completely replaced in less than 20 minutes. Otherwise, the keyboard is extremely high quality processed. A chic bezel made of black anodized aluminum not only gives the keyboard a classy appearance, but also ensures high stability in the heat of the battle.
- ️ Of course, the Glorious PC Gaming Race brings GMMK Compact all the comfort of a professional keyboard, such as full anti ghosting with N Key rollover via USB , in which no key entries are lost, no matter how many are pressed simultaneously. In order not to suddenly sit in front of the bright Windows desktop during the battle, the Windows key can be deactivated. The keyboard is connected via USB 2.0 and the completely modular, about 180 cm long cable with the textile cover .
- ️ The RGB lighting including 18 effects can be activated by key combination and individually configured and saved in a profile. Optionally, you can use the enclosed software. Special drivers are not needed, the GMMK Compact works well on Mac OS X and Linux.
- ️ Attention: In this version, neither switches nor Keycaps are included and must be purchased separately Both are available in the Caseking shop.
