I use a Glorious GMMK Pro fully modular keyboard. It’s fully customizable down to the switches, the face plates, and literally everything.

The casing is a Glorious GMMK Pro, I don't think the company comes very well recommended anymore tbh and you can get just as good boards for a lot less these days, but at the time it was one of the only hotswap 75% boards with ISO options so it worked for me!

Before the Q1, I was using the GMMK but that had serious latency issues, so I got the Keychron and have been using it ever since.

Glorious GMMK-pro with brass plate, cerakey ceramic caps, Outemu OTM Silent Grey switches, I'm pretty happy with my first custom build.

I have a Glorious GMMK Pro, pretty good but with hindsight I would have gotten a Keychron Q2.

I would say my worst purchase was the Glorious GMMK Pro keyboard. The case and materials are actually pretty nice but the pcb/ software are not. It has always had noticeable input latency and eventually would develop double clicks too.

I also have a Glorious GMMK Pro, but their software tanked, along with some other QC issues, so it's retired for now.

Some reviews criticized the boards stock stabalizers, and for good reason, they were not good. After swapping them out for some Durock V2s, I have had absolutely no complaints.

jeg kun prøvet Glorious GMMK Pro - det er IKKE trådløst, men det er bygget som en kampvogn, hotswap og nemt at modde.

I owned a GMMK Pro keyboard with the flex kit and thought it was ok for the price. I was always annoyed with Core 1.0 because it treats layers like pseudo profiles.

It’s the Glorious GMMK Pro. Stupid expensive, but still a banger

I had a Glorious GMMK Pro before that had really bad sticking keys

Reddit▲ recommend

it's a good quality board that goes with most sets, and I've had no issues with it, build-wise!

Reddit— neutral

I had the Glorious GMMK Pro and really liked it but the keycap lighting was terrible because of the south facing PCB. Other than that it was perfect for me.

There’s better choices over the glorious for the money these days

It has a polycarbonate plate and Glorious Panda Switches (which I absolutely love). All that lead to a pretty thocky sound and good feel.

It was driving me crazy with my Glorious GMMK Pro. While this keyboard had the problem softwarely, it still persisted on specific keys even after they fixed it with a new firmware.

Reddit▲ recommend

it's got fantastic build quality and I absolutely love how heavy & stable it is.

Reddit▼ don’t recommend

I love it to bits but I couldn't recommend it unless you're happy dismantling it before you use it as the stabilisers are so gummed it takes about 5 seconds for the backspace key to spring back up after pressing it.

Recently switched to a glorious gmmk pro. If you’re after quality holy shit that’s the way to go. Expensive route at $350 for the prebuilt but you can tell when you pick it up it’s well made.

Reddit— neutral

Using a Glorious GMMK Pro. I like it for the most part, but the A key gives me issues when typing occasionally.

Reddit— neutral

I have a Glorious GMMK Pro I got when it first released and it's okay except they over lubed the stabilizers.

If you are new to MKs i would recommend the Glorious GMMK Pro. Super durable, very solid, dial to control volume, fully hot swappable, and you get Glorious software to program macros, lighting etc.

As someone who made the mistake of getting a Glorious GMMK Pro for my first board it makes me so sad to see these youtubers shilling for them
