Product Information

This means you can have a custom build combining Glorious Fox switches with Gateron, Kailh, Cherry, NK, or others in any arrangement you'd like. The HyperX Alloy Origins 65 and the GLORIOUS GMMK 2 are mechanical gaming keyboards, but the HyperX performs better for this use.

If you are looking to tinker more, take things apart, have an aesthetic that better suits your liking, there are plenty of options out there.

We purchased the pre-assembled, full-size unit in black, which comes with linear GLORIOUS Fox switches. Enthusiasts will be happy to know that the GMMK 2 is compatible with QMK, which is a nice nod to those same enthusiasts (QMK, in case you don’t know, is open-source software for configuring keyboards and the likes that’s mostly used with custom-built keyboards) but I still wish Glorious would spend some more time in their own Core software for non-enthusiasts. For even more customization, you can replace the included clip-on stabilizers with PCB-mounted alternatives such as GSV2.

So this keyboard can be equipped with a mix of switches that meets your needs and feedback preferences. The GLORIOUS GMMK 2 and the Keychron Q6 are both hot-swappable, customizable keyboards designed for different primary uses. I took a lot of issue with the GMMK Pro’s Glorious Goat stabs being pre-lubed, feeling that they were over-lubed. It has double-shot ABS keycaps that feel nice to type on, and the linear GLORIOUS Fox switches feel light to actuate and don't make much noise, which is great for open office environments.

I’m a big fan of utility, but I am also a fan of not having any clutter so with that said, I really enjoy the box the GMMK 2 came in. The integrated plate holds them firmly in place, eliminating the need to solder as well as preventing dust from reaching the PCB. I personally use mine as a mild dust cover which can be useful if you have any pets, or live like a gremlin like I do. For these devices and the M1 Mac, I used a USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable and everything worked without a hitch.The GLORIOUS GMMK 2 and the Keychron Q5 are two full-size (96%) customizable keyboards designed with different uses in mind. We've now recalculated the Single Key Latency and Multi-Key Latency scores with the endpoint properly filtered out, and both scores have lowered slightly.

The NuPhy Halo keyboards also feature layers of sound-dampening silicone and have an RGB lighting strip around the outside edge of the keyboard. That’s to be expected since the original GMMK was released years and years ago, but everything from the font on the keycaps and the feeling of said caps to the overall solidity of the case just feels like a massive upgrade. The SteelSeries Apex Pro and the GLORIOUS GMMK 2 are both mechanical keyboards designed for gaming use.They’re rather smooth out of the box and even though the lubing job isn’t anything close to what an experienced keyboard maker can do by hand I would say that lubing these isn’t a necessity at all. Full disclosure: Glorious provided me the GMMK 2 in Pink with Glorious Fox switches, and coiled cable, Aura keycaps in Pixel Pink. I also changed the aluminum plate to a polycarbonate one and it really brings out the RGB so if you want brighter RBG switching the plate to an FR4/PC will help with that. The IQUNIX is a wireless model that lets you connect via Bluetooth with up to three devices simultaneously or with a USB receiver. It’s perfectly accessible for beginners with a sturdy 5 pin hot swap PCB, allowing folks to try out new switches without needing soldering hardware.

The Q Pro Series boards also have a gasket-mounted design that provides a softer, more cushioned typing experience. Ultra customization among the best gaming keyboards has previously been relegated to the super expensive or niche keyboards.

This method of legend printing mould two layers of ABS plastic together for a seamless finish that resists the general wear and tear of use.I can’t detect any noticeable or annoying rattle, and even though some of the stabilized keys can feel a tiny bit mushy I can’t say that I was ever annoyed by any of this.
