GLORIOUS Gaming - GMMK 3 Barebones Custom Gaming Keyboard, 65% Mechanical Keyboard, Modular Gasket System, Hotswappable MX 5-pin, Sound Dampening Foam, Aluminum Switch Plate, ANSI (Black)

I’ve been really happy with this barebones keyboard. It works great and feels very durable right out of the box.It comes with some test keycaps, a switch puller, and a keycap puller, which makes building and swapping parts super easy. It also includes a mini screwdriver and some extra small repair tools, which is a really nice touch in case you need to open it up or make adjustments.The RGB has a lot of different modes to choose from and looks really clean once everything is set up. It’s not too heavy, but still feels sturdy and well-built on the desk.Overall, a great base if you’re looking to build a custom keyboard. Would definitely recommend it.

I've purchased several 65% keyboards in the last few months and this is by far the worst. The keyboard itself is not terrible, but the software is an absolute dealbreaker. If you want to remap any keys, adjust the lighting, or the adjust the time before going to sleep (the default is pretty short)...you just can't. The software appears to have all of these features, but they just flat out don't work. You see the options, but when you click them nothing happens, and sometimes even puts the keyboard in a weird state where you have to unplug and quit the software to get it back to normal. I have never seen software this bad ever in my life. I have no idea how someone could have decided to release it in this state. If they fix the software (which, apparently, they never do), then this keyboard may not be a bad budget option. But until then, it's just an exercise in frustration.

Overall, this is a good barebones keyboard for the price. You get a lot of customization via the software which is neat. Build quality doesn't feel the most premium but definitely not bad either. My biggest problem I have is when I updated the firmware to version 0009 it completed bricked the RGB and would not light up or respond on the software, the way I fixed it was FN + ESC then F1 + F3 + F5 (Hold for 10 Seconds.) Everything worked fine after doing the factory reset but I get some occasional flickering on the side RGB light that I did not have before updating the firmware. If you can get this keyboard on sale, I would recommend it, just don't update the software and save your self the headache.

Great beginner keyboard kit

I have used the first GMMK from GLORIOUS for a few years now its build is easily far superior I only got this thinking that it would be a nice upgrade but no its terrible im sure that the nicer versions that cost 3x as much aren't built like trash. If you need a budget keyboard id suggest buying anything besides a GLORIOUS. Software for ether board the GMMK or GMMK3 is horrible the one for the original doesnt work 99% of the time and the one for the GMMK3 bricks random keys whenever you change lighting modes for me if i didnt keep it on the first lighting option my {i} key would stop working completely to fix that I had to put the default lighting option back on. over all DO NOT BUY

There at much better keyboards at similar prices. If you can get this on sale it is a much better buy but I cannot recommend this at full price. If you know how to mod a keyboard and want to pretend this is a problem-solving-game then this is keyboard for you.My biggest issues:The volume knob is wobbly (a known problem for this brand), the stabilizers will stick in the down position and are poorly lubricated (a known problem for this board), the software is annoying (a known problem for this brand).The good:All metal construction and easy to open. It is very easy to mod and a nice entry-level keyboard for the hobby.

I used this as a donor board. My GMMK 3 custom came DoA so i bought this, took out the PCB and put it in my metal case, viola! Worked like a charm.

A few of the sockets were loose upon arrival and broke while trying to insert switches, and tbh I didn't feel like going through any kind of return process so I bent them back into place and soldered them back myself. Kind of a rough initial impression.The software is kinda trash. The LEDs go to sleep after a very short period and I could not figure out a way to disable this...Aaand the final nail in the coffin - the LEDs just died after a little over 2 months of use. If I really liked this board I would definitely troubleshoot the issue and try to fix it, but I kinda hate it at this point and already ordered a new keyboard.

Klar hat etwas Flex wenn man es grob anfasst, aber auch da Knarzt nichts.Hatte keine Probleme beim bestücken oder mit der Software. Bin mit dem Klang auch zufrieden - nicht der Wahnsinn, aber solide.Folgendes kann ein Nachteil sein, wenn das für euch relevant ist:Es fehlt eine dedizierte Home taste.Diese wird über FN + End realisiert. Wäre die delete Taste oben wo das Logo mit der LED ist, hätte man rechts Platz für eine zusätzliche Taste.North-facing LEDsDie Leds zeigen nach norden, kann je nach Keycaps relevant sein. Siehe Bild.

Il prodotto non rispecchiava la descrizione. Parlava di full metal mentre invece era totalmente in plastica

Bought the barebones. Easy installation with own switches and keycaps.Comes in a nice box and accessories.

I definitely recommend this keyboard. However, mine did arrive damaged. The S key wasn't working, turns out the contact the switch goes into was broken off from the solder on the PCB.It was an easy fix though, a guy was willing to fix it for me for ten to twenty dollars. I doubt you'll have the issue as I did because most people don't.My only thing is I wish there were more RGB options in Glorious Core.

All the keys work for me despite other reviews. Great starter board with a heavy and solid build. I like that the edges are taller too. makes for a slicker look
