So...what we have learned is that glorious is making a board and selling it for a thin margin, hoping to make it up on the other end with selling accessories. Seems about right. I have all that stuff, getting the board for the wife as her first board. It is a good way to start out.
most of their add ons aren't even marked up that high (keycaps, lube station, cables, etc are all the same price as the market) its just a few weird things like the switch opener, brush and switch/keycap pullers. I probably won't buy any of it as I already have other alternatives, but I can 100% justify buying the keycaps or the cables if you have this board or a colorway that matches.
Honestly the switch puller and keycap puller there selling should be included with the Pro. I purchased a keychron board for my pops and it came with similar keycap puller
Ha! I got GMMKs for the whole fam too. I think they are a good option to give to people who aren't into the hobby, but who you can't stand to see using a crappy membrane board. The price point isn't bad, and they support a decent level of customization without locking you in too much.
Learned something new about the gmmk pro PC plate today. Thank you! I hope it's not so bad where the plate is unusable... Can't wait for all this to show up at my door!
Honestly, I look forward to every single review you put out. Bravo to keeping honest and really saying what needs to be said! Pointing out prices and the shit people actually care about, bravo. Having already build my "End Game" board, it is still nice to watch reviews likes these come across the internet to show people all the options available.
Found your channel awhile back before building my first custom and I just have to say I love you videos. Thank you for always bringing a reasonable and sensible take on everything you review. I really feel like you let us know what we might be getting ourselves into before buying anything. Keep up the great work man!
THANK YOU. Those brushes and keycap puller pretty much take a couple cents to make. And mind you, lazer cutting machines aside, the acrylic plate that the lube station is made from costs LESS THAN 3 DOLLARS for a 18x24 inches per sheet (YES, THE LUBE STATION THAT YOU PAID 20-30 BUCKS FOR, TOOK LESS THAN 5 BUCKS TO MAKE). From the perspective of someone who had acess to an actual tool shop that is able to make these things, the mark up for these items are insane. I am not familiar with the molding process for the mechnical switches, but im sure they are cheap as hell to manufactor somewhere in Asia too. Its the only reason why "new" switches are coming out on a weekly basis. THEY. ARE. CHEAP. TO. MAKE.
Thanks for all the great videos man, looking to get into the mech keyboard hobby and found your channel. Been binge watching your stuff for the last 4 days haha. Learned a lot and youve been super helpful.
This looks like a really cool setup. Seems like they have provided everything you need from one store. If you just want the experience or to get your feet wet in to a fully custom keyboard looks like a great way to start.
One thing for sure I thought I was watching a sci-fi film because of the quality is awesome. The shots are really great but the content is also worth it.. thanks

bro that background music with the cat noise was giving me anxiety. my cat had kittens today under my bed and i kept turning around to make sure she was ok XD
I’m terrible at keeping organized and the screws weren’t too big of an issue for a new guy. We’ll see how I fair when my durock stabilizers get here this week and I gotta do it again. Poly carb plate is awesome too.
Bro, you got a probe lens?! Edit: Ok after watching the whole video...jesus man, this might be my favorite video of yours. The attention to detail is blowing my mind, great job bro.
What are some good keycap options if I don’t have a budget? Don’t love the look of the GMMK ones and don’t mind spending money to get nice ones. I just don’t wanna have to wait 6+ months to get them. Very new to this so sorry if it’s a dumb question.
Thank you for the detailed video. Do you still feel that this is the best buy for the price. I will not pay over $250 for a keyboard. Its just not my price range. Thanks in advance.
I have a ducky one 2 mini. Trying to figure out if I want new keycaps. Are these shown in the video decent for that? Or should I go with another option?
I am looking to get one of these but I am torn on switches. I have been eying the holy pandas, do you know how well those work with this board? Would the glorious pandas be a better choice or something else? Thanks.
I preordered a gmmk pro, estimated delivery end of June for NL/Germany it looks like. But I really get bothered by off center legends on keycaps and stuff like that so I am not sure what I should get for keycaps yet. Ended on getting the Gateron Aliaz switches, will be lubed and filmed (probably filmed). Your videos have gone from great to amazing btw. What macro lens do you use? is it the famous/popular probe lens from Laowa?
You killed it in this very descriptive and informative video BadSeed. I am kind of interested in this board and because of your in depth review, I can better contemplate whether or not this KB is for me now or wait for Glorious to address the con's and then maybe make the purchase. So thanks for the review BadSeed and looking forward to your next video.
Switch puller still is a greatly marked up, branded IC puller, those are 2 dollars a pop for the enduser and 50ct in bulk, they also dont rub off and are rubberized.
I've been waiting for a good look at the cables. Thank you! Disappointing for the price, but every once in awhile I can't handle waiting. Something decent that arrives in two days?! Conviiiiinient.
Do you have the ability to fit test other knobs that would be compatible with something like the satisfaction? I’m wondering if artisan knobs are a possibility for this board
You know what, I've seen enough. I cancelled my pre-order. I still want the board but I'll let them work out the kinks first; it really never pays to get the first version of a glorious product.
@Jessie Smith haha, it's not about the accessories. He even mentions the issues with the stamped plates at the beginning, and I have a set of aftermarket durock stabs right here that I dont feel like playing the plate lottery with. I was set to use the brass plate because I have polycarb and allu plate boards already. Does the board have potential? Eventually yes, but it's not enough of a game changer to warrant me spending any amount of money on a 4-5th board that I don't need yet.
Just got my first mech kb and got the full size black slate from glorious. Was wondering if the ash keycaps that was mentioned in the video fit my keyboard. Thanks in advance!
Nobody can deny that they dove into this market head on, I hope they iron out the minor issues and keep moving forward. Now it’s a matter of time to see if we get a razer black widow pro + or something that offers the same options from other competitors.
Finally! A reviewer with Man sized hands that I can relate with... My goodness watching what seems like 15 reviewers of this 75% Keyboard all with small or medium slim hands just can't get a visual for how it will fit my hands. There is a reason I prefer full sized KB's and or 10 keyless. I'm still not sold on this 75% business. Also, getting tired of people with small tiny weak hands and finger bitching about how hard it is the type on stronger springs, or tactile are tiring etc...
Hmm was thinking this but now im not so sure. Would the Drop TKL be any better than this? I have an ALT and it was very pingy with the base. Thought it was just the switch springs but tried different switches still the same.
@BadSeed Tech, Does the coiled cable lenght matter at all for this keyboard?? I'm scared that I might have ordered a long cable on accident after reading that the drop alt keyboard has troubles getting the led fully lit up with the cable being to long. TiA
As a beginner in the custom keyboard scene I see the GPBT keycaps for me, as I need the ISO-DE layout and I didn’t find a single good looking set. Kinda sad that even gmk, a German brand doesn’t make DE caps
I noticed you reviewed all the accessories but didn't really mention the G Lube directly, just referenced it when talking about the lube station. Do you have a video planned for comparing it against similar lubes? e.g. 205g0, 3204, etc
Glorious really changing their whole good quality cheap price aesthetic considering you can buy most of the add-ons for half or even less than that, they did good on that lube station though.
I know this comment is a bit late, but what would you recommend getting beside the keyboard? I was planning on buying the keycaps, the cable, and the switches. will those be sufficient enough?
how do I get the coiled USB C cable from glorious ? Because I didn't find it on their website. Can someone help me out pls? Good video as always BADSEED TECH
fire vid as always man! gpbt keycaps look kinda eh, won't be getting those but i'm definitely adding the poly plate and some of those fire accessories!
7:08 that shot with the coils was so insane I had to go over it multiple times
I think somebody bought and is enjoying a probe lens
Oooh, pretty!

Honestly the switch puller and keycap puller there selling should be included with the Pro.

haha no way! i legit was rewatching the GMMK compact vid as soon as the notif showed lol!
My favourite tech reviewer on TH-cam. My guy always keeping it real!
dude what the hell, I can't even start to imagine the time and effort it took to shoot and edit this video. You absolute madlad.

been waiting for this hot video for 5 days now

You had me at the first 'Stop', not gonna lie
thank you for the update. I was waiting for it.
I was just about to search you and check if you have a vid regarding accessories. And here it is, suggested by TH-cam itself. Nice timing!
I thought something was off about the keycaps but that mixed angling is going to keep me awake at night.
These videos are so well put together it is actually so satisfying watching and finished every video
Thanks so much!
brilliant video mate! very well put together
I love all the innuendos and I am so glad I found this channel!
Man I love it when Jeff Bridges talks to me about keyboards

Banger vid as always. I love your camera work and editing, super nice shots.

imo the keycaps have potential but were executed badly. Was hoping for better
Get Corseair db shot pbt PRO.. non pro are average.
@@downundergarage6968 Are you sure these are compatible with the GMMK Pro? I don't think the correct mods and right shift key are included in this set
They are not.. standard set only. You need extended set and they dont make these..
Bro, you got a probe lens?!
Edit:
Ok after watching the whole video...jesus man, this might be my favorite video of yours. The attention to detail is blowing my mind, great job bro.
Great shots my guy! Loved it!
He really just kept the "STAWP" joke consistent through both videos
legendary
the quality of your videos! its crazy! thank you for making these
Appreciate that warning for the sound test
love the energy this guy is giving, i just would like to ask whats your favorite gpbt keycaps from all?
Great video work. So many good camera angles and love your critical analysis. Wish you many more views
Curious, which stabs would you suggest for my build? First keyboard build. Mines in the mail!
Good looks as always! Keep up the great work.
Hey bad seed, did your zeal stabs fit into the brass? I know you said durock didn’t but was curious about zeal.
Super informative video, thank you for this Badseed! You're killing it as usual!
BRUHHh how do you not have like 3 mill subs omg your filming is insane
What are some good keycap options if I don’t have a budget? Don’t love the look of the GMMK ones and don’t mind spending money to get nice ones. I just don’t wanna have to wait 6+ months to get them. Very new to this so sorry if it’s a dumb question.
Thank you for the detailed video. Do you still feel that this is the best buy for the price. I will not pay over $250 for a keyboard. Its just not my price range. Thanks in advance.
Reserved one of these. New to building keyboards. Do I need to buy a plate on top of the keyboard itself switches and keycaps??
hey man, love the vid. Quick question, what size are the stabs for the board if I want to switch them out? Thanks!
Coming in way late but I'd be curious what the aluminum plate polished to a mirror would look like in there with the RGB
Been waiting for this masterpiece of a video honestly
Thanks for the solid info! Do you think there will be a gmmk pro fullsize ?
What’s a good keycap puller and switch opener?
I have a ducky one 2 mini. Trying to figure out if I want new keycaps. Are these shown in the video decent for that? Or should I go with another option?
I am looking to get one of these but I am torn on switches. I have been eying the holy pandas, do you know how well those work with this board? Would the glorious pandas be a better choice or something else? Thanks.
What is keycaps on 6:51? Blue and black with red enter
I preordered a gmmk pro, estimated delivery end of June for NL/Germany it looks like.
But I really get bothered by off center legends on keycaps and stuff like that so I am not sure what I should get for keycaps yet.
Ended on getting the Gateron Aliaz switches, will be lubed and filmed (probably filmed).
Your videos have gone from great to amazing btw. What macro lens do you use? is it the famous/popular probe lens from Laowa?
You killed it in this very descriptive and informative video BadSeed. I am kind of interested in this board and because of your in depth review, I can better contemplate whether or not this KB is for me now or wait for Glorious to address the con's and then maybe make the purchase.

Another fair and honest review. Killing it Brian P 🤘
in the sound test where you used the stock banana split switches and brass plate, were the stabilizers lubed?
Wow do the glorious accessories come in any other color?
I’m not big into the orange color...
Switch puller still is a greatly marked up, branded IC puller, those are 2 dollars a pop for the enduser and 50ct in bulk, they also dont rub off and are rubberized.
I've been waiting for a good look at the cables. Thank you!

Making videos for the consumer. My man. 👉🏻👉🏻
Huh... That plasticky sound description for the polycarbonate plate is surprisingly accurate.
Is it worth it tho? I thought buying an ISO one for Black Friday discounts (shipping would kill me to send it to LATAM)
wait a second why is the progress bar yellow? that's sick and I did not know you could change that lol
You know what, I've seen enough. I cancelled my pre-order. I still want the board but I'll let them work out the kinks first; it really never pays to get the first version of a glorious product.

Does the board have potential? Eventually yes, but it's not enough of a game changer to warrant me spending any amount of money on a 4-5th board that I don't need yet.
When will be available to purchase the coiled cable ?
Can you do a video assembling it?
Like putting in the switches specifically?
What is that all black rubicks cube ? Looks awesome but I can't see how it would be functional
Its from Dbrand. As a cube, its trash. As a desk prop, its surprisingly functional.
Any recommendations for keycaps sets for the GMMK Pro that are not the GPBT?
Damn, they went all out!! Will this all be available internationally?
May I ask what desk mat you're using in this vid? Thanks
Getting it 100%
No comment of the panda switches? I was hoping you would have something to say about the pre-lubed version
Just got my first mech kb and got the full size black slate from glorious. Was wondering if the ash keycaps that was mentioned in the video fit my keyboard. Thanks in advance!
SO should I get the GMMK pro or something like the KBD67 V2 that is coming out in may?

Bruhhhh I don’t even know if I want this thing anymore. Lol I just received my Godspeed75, I’ll just enjoy that til my Rama comes in.
Dead. Your comments are always as no BS as my videos.😂
That Godspeed75 is FIRE my dude
Jelly.
I'd imagine so. It's $600 CAD for just a case and pcb LOL.
Godspeed is significantly more expensive not in the same realm lol. Take your L

New to this hobby. Thanks for a GREAT review and appreciate the amount of work you put into all your vids!
Glorious really changing their whole good quality cheap price aesthetic considering you can buy most of the add-ons for half or even less than that, they did good on that lube station though.
Are those cherry or OEM they look like a taller profile like matrix caps
I know this comment is a bit late, but what would you recommend getting beside the keyboard? I was planning on buying the keycaps, the cable, and the switches. will those be sufficient enough?
I currently own the durgod x hades 68 keyboard with Kailh box jade, how would the GMMK pro compare as well?
5:07 Not sure if you've noticed, but are on wrong keys.
5:32 is the right shift key size 1.7u or 1.75u?
hey back in 2018 you told us you would review the 1more spearhead VR gaming headset. yet that review never came. do you mind reviewing it?
I got the black board, the ocean themed caps and the panda switches for $300 total. Loving it so far. Coming from a $100 Corsair board.
Do you have any input delay? I hear d a lot about that after I placed my order.
With your full bias, would you rather the silver or black keeb?
Black for sure. Only reason it didn’t show up more in Part 2 is bc its out being fitted for some custom foams.
@@badseedtech Hell yeah brother, such a classy look. If you have any keycap sets in mind please let us in on it too. 💓
hi what about the o rings
do we need this if we do which ones
1.7u right shift key? so is there any set that fit it, they always do 1.75u shift key
how do I get the coiled USB C cable from glorious ? Because I didn't find it on their website. Can someone help me out pls? Good video as always BADSEED TECH
Hey @badseed tech I got the shure sm7b because of you
fire vid as always man! gpbt keycaps look kinda eh, won't be getting those but i'm definitely adding the poly plate and some of those fire accessories!
I know I don’t need to, but I want that white frame so badly.
such a good vid
Thanks bro!
