Assembling the GMMK Pro was very easy, because it’s hot-swappable and supports any 3 or 5 Cherry MX-compatible switches. I just popped some switches and keycaps in and plugged the keyboard in and It worked.

Part of its dynamic 75% layout, the GMMK Pro offers fully customisable RGB lighting. For each of its 84 keys, you'll be met with 16.8 million RGB colours that are presented in multiple modes and animations, also being presented across the signature side lighting panel to make it shine. GLORIOUS GMMK PRO 75% BAREBONE KEYBOARD SPECIFICATIONS: Layout As part of its dynamic 75% layout, the GMMK Pro offers fully customisable RGB lighting. For each of its 83 keys, you’ll be met with 16.8 million RGB colours that are presented in multiple modes and animations, also being presented across the signature side lighting panel to make it shine. If you can afford it, however, you’ll be pleased to know that Glorious ships to the UK and Australia.The KiiBOOM Phantom 81 is another impressive linear mechanical keyboard with a transparent design. It’s a lot heavier and a little bigger than the Lofree 1% Transparent, but it’s also a little cheaper. Barebones keyboards are supposed to provide a helpful bridge between the simplicity of buying pre-built keyboards and the complexity of building your own unit from scratch. The price you’ll pay to build it to its entirety and the modifications you’ll have to make to it begs the question, “Why buy this?” With its build-quality issues, Glorious does not lay out a nice welcome mat for those looking to get into the hobby of building mechanical keyboards. On the brightside, the 75 percent layout is nice to see because the overall mechanical keyboard market is flooded with full-size and tenkeyless boards and the barebones market typically goes down the road of 60 percent. Gaming Experience on Glorious GMMK Pro The GMMK Pro offers fully customisable RGB lighting with over 16.8 million RGB colours plus multiple modes and animations. With its signature side lighting panels, this keyboard will shine with the multiple effects it has available, making for elegant and immersive gaming sessions.

One of the reasons I bought this particular model is that it can be modded in firmware so that the keys do alternative things; this was important to me because I wanted it to be a Mac layout rather than the standard Windows, which means moving the Windows/Command key to a different location amongst other things. I used VIA to do this (you have to install the VIA firmware first, I found that rev 1 worked, rev 2 didn't), which means I can easily change stuff (including the RGB) through a web interface. Handy!From keycap to macro, the GMMK Pro can be configured just the way you like it, giving you more power for gaming. Complemented with a stylish design that’s built to last, it’s an ultimate peripheral fit to use with any PC. The only thing that stops this being a perfect first time modular board is the fact that they may have well put the stabilisers in with PVA glue. I’m guessing most people in the hobby don’t mind taking electronics apart to remove the stabilisers and lube them properly, but if you think you can buy this board, plug some switches in and add some key caps you are mistaken. There are a ton of eye-popping, RGB preset animations embedded in the Glorious Core software, including Kamehemeha, which is a Dragon Ball reference, Ping Pong and of course one that’s called Glorious Mode, because it’s beautiful and vibrant. I preferred the look I achieved when I configured the colorway to match my GMK Laser keycap set and that’s the thing with this software and Glorious’ RGB implementation; it almost encourages me to want to use RGB more and more. As well as looking sleek in white, the GPBT keycaps are highly durable, thanks to the use of PBT plastic. Resisting wear and tear, these keycaps won’t shine over time with heavy usage. Out of the box, this keyboard is arranged to be used with a Windows PC. Mac users, never fear – there are four extra keycaps included with Mac functionality. Plus, there’s an extra cheeky novelty ESC key featuring the Glorious logo. With the included Glorious Keycap Puller, switching out keycaps is incredibly easy.

Because I got the keyboard-building kit version, I spent some time building the actual keyboard before getting around to testing it. After it was built, I tested it for two weeks, using it as my main keyboard for productivity and play. Because the GMMK Pro is a gasket-mount design, it’s supposed to do two things differently than most other mounting styles, which is to provide some flex when typing (for those who like it) and provide a more uniform sound profile amongst the entire board. Disappointingly for gasket fans, there really isn’t any flex. In the end, my typing experience with the Glorious GMMK Pro was good, but I needed to, and I emphasize "needed" to do some work because taking apart the GMMK Pro is not a simple task and if you’re new to the hobby of mechanical keyboards then the immense amount of screws needed to take apart the board and the difficulty lining up the RGB diffuser between the plate and PCB will deter newcomers. Considering that this is a barebones kit, you should not have to take it apart to get a decent experience.This is a pricey piece of kit – the barebones board alone costs as much as many pre-built mechanical keyboards. The core concept of the GMMK Pro range is customisation, and this pre-built keyboard is no different. Equipped with the same hot-swapping technology, you can configure the keycaps and switches, which are easily removable with the included tools. This is enabled by the gasket-mounted, 5-pin PCB. As a result, you can mix and match switches to suit your gaming style or replace the GPBT keycaps with a colour scheme reflecting your chosen aesthetic. Overall I'm really pleased with it, and consider it worth the money if you want something that you're going to use heavily.

What’s more, the GMMK Pro works incredibly with the newly developed Glorious Core software suite. Easy to use, this dynamic interface will let you customise lightning, macros, key assignments, layers and more to give you full control. As a barebones kit, the GMMK Pro’s typing experience is heavily dependent on the switches and keycaps you use. I appreciated the 75% layout, but found that the stabilizers leave much to be desired and the gasket mount is a mixed bag. Only after I did serious modifications, which a user shouldn't have to do, did the typing experience become a good one. You can use any 3 or 5-pin switches you want with the GMMK Pro, but Glorious sent me a few sets of their new switches, Lynx, to test it with. The Lynx are Glorious’ new linear switch and feature a bottom-out force of 60g.The switches utilize a POM stem, polycarbonate upper, and nylon lower, which is the same as their tactile counterpart, the Glorious Panda.https://www.kustompcs.co.uk/peripherals/keyboards/mechanical-keyboards-accessories/tai-hao-abs-double-shot-137-vintage-camel-keycaps-us-ansi-uk-iso-layout/
