Glorious Gaming GMMK PRO 75% Barebones Black (Frame Only) - Modular Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, TKL Size (75%), 3.3lb Frame, RGB, Fully Customisable, 5-Pin Switch Support (RENEWED)

This board is just way overhyped. I don’t get it. It sounds awful. Used pandas, yellow milky, and gateron yellow. Everything sounds like an reverby clicky mess. There’s a lot of modding that needs to be done to these before it will sound good. Also, some Switches got stuck when I was trying to remove them and ruined two milky yellow switches. Some switches were so difficult to insert, I was afraid that I was going to damage the switch or the board. Also, ice white is just a fancy way of saying silver. It’s literally silver. There is nothing white about it. I don’t know. For the price its not worth it. There’s much better boards out there for the same price. I think the good reviews are because people like the company for some reason. Even their claim about everything being modular isn’t really true. It’s not different than any other board. Wobkey crush reboot for instance, can be taken apart in a matter of seconds because of its design, with the intention of users modding it. Just look for something else. Spend a few extra dollars and get something that’s actually nice. I can’t believe that people buy prebuilds of the gmmk 3 for as much as they do. Also look at the picture of my switch puller after attempting to remove the stuck escape key. It’s hilarious.

I’ll get it out of the way at the beginning; yes it’s overpriced. You probably already know that, you’re shopping Glorious after all. However, the build quality really is great. Solid metal, and it’s super heavy. It looks great, and the lighting on the side has nice color and brightness. It also sounds good (even though your sound is still gonna change based on your switches, keycaps, if you do/don’t mod it, etc.), and Glorious provides some resources on how to mod it if that’s something you want to do.Now Glorious Core (the software that it comes with to customize lighting and keybinds) is abysmal. Fortunately, it supports flashing QMK firmware, so you can remap keys without the stock software. Complicated for someone unfamiliar with computers, but it wasn’t too difficult for me to do, just took some time to learn. Just make sure you have a key bound to reset the firmware.TL;DRPros:• Great build quality• Solid metal board• Pretty lighting• Good sound• Supports QMK flashingCons:• Overpriced• Bad stock software (Glorious Core)

I got a refurbished keyboard, doesnt work right, they send me a replacement, doesnt work at all, doesnt send more than 1 replacement so now we get to send back both keyboards, wait a few weeks for the refund to get another one.

This is a very solid keyboard, I use it as a daily driver. The sound profile is very solid sounding, no case ping or reverb. The only thing I have against this board is that the glorious software is awful, and QMK isn't really beginner friendly; my installation of VIA did not recognize this board, either. Very easy to take apart, and not much modding is necessary. If you plan to use this stock, I don't recommend it because of the steep price point. If you want something that sounds similar, I would recommend the Keychron K1 or V1 if you still want that 75% form factor, since these ones are VIA compatible and much more user friendly. If you insist on buyint this board, it weighs a considerable amout, is very sturdy, and is nearly impossible to make sound bad. However, though it claims to be gasket mounted (by technicality, it is), it is very solid and has very little flex. Not recommended if you want a softer typing experience

Keyboard was deflective.

It's good but it's still almost 100 dollars more for a keyboard sold anywhere else for cheaper

Exactly what my grandson wanted

I'm now on my second GMMK Pro-- they replaced the first after it had terrible (unusable) issues with key pressing + switches. This second keyboard has the exact same issues. 25% of the keys won't register about 10-15% of the time and only certain switches will work. I use the exact same switches on a GMMK compact (same company) and have ZERO issues. I have jumped through so many hoops with the customer service team and they just keep moving the goal post requiring more and more from me without providing any kind of support. I've used the keyboard for probably less than a couple of hours in the time that I have actually had it since it is impossible to type with. Don't buy-- the GMMK normal keyboard I GUESS works fine, but would avoid this shady company at all costs if I were buying again.
