Glorious Gaming GMMK 2 - TKL Mechanical Keyboard - Custom 65% Keyboard - Compact -Hotswap w/Cherry Mx Style Switches - Incl. Double Shot Keycaps & Linear Switches - PC Gaming Setup Accessories

Smooth and very tactile

Love it as a Main Desktop KB. Lovely feeling keys. Weighty. Pretty LEDs. Nice long, braided USB cable. Rapid response. Bit expensive though.

The GMMK 2 is an upgrade in all respects from the original GMMK. I really like the 96% layout since it feels like a TKL board but has a number pad. It's VERY quiet out of the box and the linear switches are smooth and nice to type on or game on. I generally prefer tactile switches (like Cherry MX Brown or Glorious Panda) but the Red Fox linear switches the GMMK2 comes with are very nice. The software and driver are functional. Not great but they work fine. You can set the input lag to 0ms, 8ms, or 16ms (it defaults to 16ms). Higher will avoid key chatter, lower will tighten up input lag. RGB lighting is very bright and there are numerous choices for patterns and the option of setting per key. Of note: There are 3 layers you can define settings for in the Glorious software. This includes macros and lighting settings for each layer. Hotkeys are definable to swap/cycle layers. It's a very nice keyboard, much better than it's predecessor (which is now discounted significantly). It may not measure up to some of the higher end custom build keyboards that are available through group buys or Drop, but it gets pretty close. Like, real close. Alternatively, you can look at the Keychron Q2 which would be a smaller keyboard with a knob. Build quality is slightly higher but so is the price. The GMMK Pro is also an option (again, smaller layout). But I would advise waiting to see if they port over some of the enhancements from the GMMK 2 to a new version of the Pro before buying one of those. TLDR; It's a great keyboard. Feels nice, sounds good, customizable if you want to change it later on. And the price is right. I like it.

The build quality of this keyboard is amazing. It also feels very good to use and I love the linear switches! The only thing I don't like is the caps lock indicator; when it's on, the lights on the side of the keyboard will flash. However, it's not bright enough to see and I have to put my hand next to it to check. I would love if the LED for the caps lock key itself flashed instead. That would make way more sense and be way easier to tell! Even with the caps lock issue, I absolutely love this keyboard. I didn't know how I'd like the white keyboard since I've never had one before but it looks very clean! If you're thinking about buying this and can afford it, stop thinking and buy it already! You won't regret it and this will last you for years and years!

I love it, would absolutely buy again.The RGB software isn't great, but there's always open source
