In owners' own words

I had that same issue with a GMMK Pro I did for a client and it was absolutely horrible

getting that keyboard is so not worth it for the price

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

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

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.

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

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.

i threw my glorious gmmk pro 75% in the trash because the PCB went out from normal use after only 2 years (suspiciously around the time the warranty is set to expire) and their customer service offered me only 5 dollars off a new PCB

if you don't have a button native to the keyboard (ie. "Home" button for the Glorious GMMK Pro) you can't even key bind it. Just go back to the older software that works. Yet again another failed release with their software...

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

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.

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.

Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.

Had same issue. Turns out it was the Glorious firmware. Swapped over to QMK and issue gone.
