@@TheTechne What you are missing here is the keyboard sounds like crap, looks like crap, and has worse issues. What you are missing is they think $80 for a non HE barebones is a good deal.
@@TheTechne Your original comment here is somewhat disingenuous. The $80 version is a non HE barebones. So people still have to go buy their own switch's and keycaps. By the end of the day the non HE 65% cost more than $80 if you want a fully functional keyboard. Might ending up costing someone more than just getting a fully built Wooting depending on the switches and keycaps they buy.
Definitely a great step in the right direction for companies that pre-build and do custom designs. I picked up one of these myself and am thoroughly impressed. Still some room for improvement, like always. The lube on my custom stabs is good, (much better than a lot of stabs I've heard), but they could be even better. Is it the "Best" keyboard one can buy right now? Probably not...but it's DAMN good, and I would definitely put it in the "One of the Best You Can Buy" category.

@@coryfitzpatrick6030 Wooting is competition. You have to beat your competition in some way. That's what this is about. I am not saying Wooting is the best.

@@TheTechne are we talking about the GMMK 3 HE or the GMMK 3 PRO HE or the GMMK 3? I thought this video was about the GMMK 3 PRO HE? Because that's a lot more than the Wooting. Not trashing the keyboard. I am trashing the pricing that Glorious is charging versus their competition. Didn't you trash Logitech for their Pro 60 X? The price they were charging wasn't justified. It's the same here for Glorious. That's what I am referring to my man! 🙂
I must say, I'm quite disappointed with the review. The hall effect switches used in this keyboard don't have pins, which leads to excessive rattling. Pins are crucial for stabilizing switches and reducing play, so this oversight significantly affects the typing experience. It's possible that you may have forgotten to mention this important detail in the video, but it’s something that could greatly impact the overall quality of the keyboard. I'm also concerned that the keyboard may sound "hollow," but unfortunately, the video doesn't offer a thorough sound test to verify this. It would be helpful to see more in-depth testing from another reviewer who can focus on the acoustic performance. Additionally, I find it unprofessional that you're engaging with viewers in the comments in a dismissive manner. Many are sharing their opinions and concerns about the keyboard, but your responses-often along the lines of "you're wrong" or "it sounds and feels great to me"-come off as defensive. Open dialogue and constructive feedback are essential for creating a trusted review community. I hope you take this into consideration for future content.
Additionally, you're misrepresenting the pricing. The version of the keyboard you mention as starting at $89 is not even functional in that state. You need to purchase switches and keycaps separately to make the $89 version usable, which can easily drive the total cost up to $200 or more. This is misleading to potential buyers, and I think it’s important to clarify this for viewers.
Thank you for the feedback. As for me engaging with the viewers in the comments, you’re probably right I should stay away, but I love interacting with the community. Now am I pushing back, no not at all, a viewers is expressing their feelings and so am I. I’m not being rude or disrespectful. Now I do agree I should step away from the negative comments that are not constructive, I have been getting much better at that, but I was so excited about this product, truly loved it, so maybe my passion got the best of me and I engaged with the negative replies as well. So in that area yes, I need to get better still. These days I usually post a video and then go for a motorcycle ride, unfortunately we have a hurricane inbound and I couldn’t do that here, so I sat on the computer and got involved. I will get better at this. But again I do truly like this release, I think it hits many great spots for consumers. PS: another video on the GMMK3 will be inbound as well 👍
@@Tlads21 Yes, that's correct-magnetic switches typically don’t come with pins, including the Leker switches. However, it would have been helpful for the reviewer to mention this detail, especially for viewers who may be new to the hobby or looking to get into it. Providing this kind of context is important, as it helps set expectations and gives a clearer understanding of how these switches differ from others. After all, many people rely on these reviews to make informed decisions.
@@AphillyatedYT If we're talking out of the box stock, Wooting. Sounds worlds better stock and the software is unbeaten. And if we're talking build quality, the Geon Viper 8k PCB that can be put into customs like the Frog and F1-8X. Learn more about the keyboard space before buying the glorious.
I dont say this is a bad keyboard by any means, but the Keychron Q1 HE is 219$ as a full build (including switches and keycaps). Full metal body, fast wireless (tri mod connection), hot-swap, great open source program, great sound (much better imo) and everything. So where is the extra min. 150$ extra value here (I am not saying its not there, just wanna see the reasons/extra benefits)? I think more channel should talk about value and compare the product with other offerings (but that way wouldnt be that many partnership/money I guess).
I think many of us talk comparisons, but this is a beast of its own. As for the Q1, I never used it, or even checked it out. But I just did, nice board for sure. Now this one starts at $89 and it’s your option how far you take it. (Plus HE & 5pin shot swap in one pcb is so cool)
This thing is an absolute mess. Sounds terrible and is more expensive than pretty much any equivalent alternative. Keychron Q1 HE complete is 219 Wooting 80 HE complete 199 GMMK Pro 3 complete 369 Your sound "test" made it obvious how bad it is while you sat there and claimed otherwise. What a joke.
Crazy how much hate this keyboard gets i been using glorious boards since they released never a issue and always top quality. Just picked up this keyboard non pro edition and its truly amazing and feels even better then before and i have to agree spacebar could be better but the rest of this board is solid! Great review.
The Monsgeek M1 V3 outclasses the base board in almost every way, at $10 cheaper! I bought it barebones and kitted it out with Gateron Smoothies and PBT keycaps. It sounds and feels amazing! Please don't buy the GMMK 3!
Way over priced for what it is. The Lemokey P1 pro, Monsgeek M1W V3 and dozens of other options that offered the same high quality package for far cheaper price.
Please please please don’t fall for this anyone, Glorious is a scam when it comes to keyboards, save your money and do some research and you’ll realise this is an awful option, tech TH-camrs getting paid to say this stuff doesn’t make a product good
When did keyboard community became so elitist? Sound is subjective you know. Yes they dont sound like lubed switches but they sound petty good for a stock version ....
That intro was some of the best trolling ever. I thought you were serious for a second. Wait, that was trolling wasnt it? The sound is trash and the price is trash. This video had to be a big parody.
@@TheTechne You made it seem like the keyboard is amazing, when clearly it's not. That's either some top-notch trolling, you are shilling, or just that out of touch with the current market.
@@jasonjennings8465 I stated in this video, as well as many times before that I am not a keyboardist, nor doing I agree with the snobby keyboard community space. This is truly a perfect keyboard for a real life consumer like myself and many others!
@@TheTechne Not when you can get a better product for cheaper. You've been around long enough to know what a good keyboard sounds like. Give yourself more credit. Non-enthusiasts will choke on the price and go with a different brand. Enthusiasts will choke at the price and quality. Then go with a different brand.
I personally think it sounds ok. Not amazing but not bad. I think a lot of the extra cost comes from the customisability and the convenience, so you aren't getting much value out of it compared to cheaper RT keyboards. I also think that 8khz and wireless isn't the most necessary thing in the world for a keyboard, there needs to at least be measurements for their latency to justify the extra cost. But imo, it at least offers more functionality than the asus Azoth extreme.
Glorious are about 3 steps behind with this board. You can already get better quality boards for less than half the price. For example, you can get the bridge75 HE that totally destroys this glorious board with its sound and features and it only cost $109.

so i recently just got a gmmk 3 he keyboard and it doesn't work properly... It lights up when its plugged in but none of my keys work, I have to keep messing with it for it to work but then once i shut my computer down its the same thing over again.. Any suggestions or helpful tips?
@@TheTechne half the price. They listen to their customers and add features somethings within a week. Haven't seen any other manufacturer act that way. Most don't make any additions or improvements and if they do it's a new keyboard and you have to buy that to get those additions/improvements.
@@TheTechne Nah cause you are paying for much better sound much better software and just more quality wooting is a small brand while glorious is a huge corp smh just say you got paid you cant actually think the gmmk3 is a good keyboard for that price. maybe if it only cost like 180 for aluminum case and poly plate but that will make it cost so much more. stock wooting is meh but 10x better than what this sounds like.
packing so much? Not seeing anything new or exciting here. Just another 75 with a knob. Glorious are not great. I have a GMMK Pro and it's pretty crap if I'm honest, and I'm not seeing anything that makes me change my mind about this one. It sound quite poor. massively overprices, and massively outclassed by some much cheaper boards these days. Glorious... late to the party as usual.
Say i have the old gmmk pro, can i use my old switches on here? On top of that can i use the old switches and get the benefits of changing acutation and all those other features?
All the comments in here tell me you're broke without admitting you're broke. xD There is a huge difference in build quality between the GMMK3 and a Wooting, both have their respective applications and both are actullay good choices, its all about your budget at this point and the people bashing the GMMK3 couldnt cry broke more, Pocket white knights come to the rescue to bash me but I say ya'll broke and mad....
I agree. They pays for what product they could afford, not what they really want. LoL "Sounds awful". They propably dont have money even for good headphones, if they really think that they hears silence switches while gaming.
Love the concept! I'm always excited at sites that let you build custom stuff like this. Even the original Motorola Moto X had me going crazy and that was just picking the shell and button colors and adding text lol. As for this, I checked out the site myself, it's fun but I don't see myself buying into it yet. I am still using a GMMK2 (your review of that helped me decide by the way) and I still am having fun customizing that myself! I swapped out the original switches for Gamakay Pegasus silent tactiles and flashed the firmware on it to use QMK so I could use it with Signal RGB. Now I'd maybe be a little more onboard if we knew how available all those little customizations will be on their own. If I could start with the basic prebuilt initially, but maybe every so often head to Micro Center and buy something swap out that'd be neat. If glorious can support this board well and add more and more ways to customize it, that'd be awesome.
It’s crazy how overpriced this is. Also sounds like hot garbage. I thought Asus has shit keyboards, but this takes the number one spot. Also, no browser software and he switch with hole at the bottom, the lube will leak
@TheTechne that's for a 65% barebones ... no wire. For that price you can get the Mongeek MV1W V3 which is Bluetooth wireless, and full aluminum and for this to get that cheap you lose all of that.

Keychron Q1 HE. No rattle, yes it’s only 1000hz wireless and wired and doesn’t have dual switch use. But it come out to $220 USD for a metal build, if I’m correct it’s half price. Insanely overpriced this company’s too greedy
@@B_M_Atrue it’s a better experience I might get one myself., But it’s plastic at $200 and no wireless capabilities. Where as keychron Q1 HE($220) and Monsgeek MW1 HE($109-$129) just with not as good of a software. This keyboard is just sad. $409 for the same thing 😭 (being Metal, wireless, and Hall effect). The only advantage you get is dual use of mechanical and Hall effect switches. But not much people are going to use both.
The pricing stands awfully close to luxury keyboards and this doesn't look or sound like one at all. This looks and sounds like a regular budget keyboard you can buy for $100 or $150
Its compleatly over priced and doesnt sound that great for what it costs . If somebody is willing to pay the premium just for the custom part i dont realy see it .

Because we used our ears and eyes. Those hall effect switches don't even have pins in them so they rattle like crazy because pin reduce the play of the switches.

@@the12gaugeshottya 65% GMMK 3 cost $5 more than a 69% wooting. Have u tried the GMMK 3 yet? How are u trashing it or still riding the wooting train? How do I know they didn’t beat the competition?
Again the hype is old!
@@TheTechne are we talking about the GMMK 3 HE or the GMMK 3 PRO HE or the GMMK 3? I thought this video was about the GMMK 3 PRO HE? Because that's a lot more than the Wooting. Not trashing the keyboard. I am trashing the pricing that Glorious is charging versus their competition. Didn't you trash Logitech for their Pro 60 X? The price they were charging wasn't justified. It's the same here for Glorious. That's what I am referring to my man! 🙂
I must say, I'm quite disappointed with the review. The hall effect switches used in this keyboard don't have pins, which leads to excessive rattling. Pins are crucial for stabilizing switches and reducing play, so this oversight significantly affects the typing experience. It's possible that you may have forgotten to mention this important detail in the video, but it’s something that could greatly impact the overall quality of the keyboard.
I'm also concerned that the keyboard may sound "hollow," but unfortunately, the video doesn't offer a thorough sound test to verify this. It would be helpful to see more in-depth testing from another reviewer who can focus on the acoustic performance.
Additionally, I find it unprofessional that you're engaging with viewers in the comments in a dismissive manner. Many are sharing their opinions and concerns about the keyboard, but your responses-often along the lines of "you're wrong" or "it sounds and feels great to me"-come off as defensive. Open dialogue and constructive feedback are essential for creating a trusted review community. I hope you take this into consideration for future content.
Additionally, you're misrepresenting the pricing. The version of the keyboard you mention as starting at $89 is not even functional in that state. You need to purchase switches and keycaps separately to make the $89 version usable, which can easily drive the total cost up to $200 or more. This is misleading to potential buyers, and I think it’s important to clarify this for viewers.
Thank you for the feedback. As for me engaging with the viewers in the comments, you’re probably right I should stay away, but I love interacting with the community. Now am I pushing back, no not at all, a viewers is expressing their feelings and so am I. I’m not being rude or disrespectful.
Now I do agree I should step away from the negative comments that are not constructive, I have been getting much better at that, but I was so excited about this product, truly loved it, so maybe my passion got the best of me and I engaged with the negative replies as well.
So in that area yes, I need to get better still.
These days I usually post a video and then go for a motorcycle ride, unfortunately we have a hurricane inbound and I couldn’t do that here, so I sat on the computer and got involved.
I will get better at this.
But again I do truly like this release, I think it hits many great spots for consumers.
PS: another video on the GMMK3 will be inbound as well 👍
He switches don’t have pins, like the leker switches. Unless there is a new gateron release I am unaware of no magnetic switch uses pins
@@Tlads21 Yes, that's correct-magnetic switches typically don’t come with pins, including the Leker switches. However, it would have been helpful for the reviewer to mention this detail, especially for viewers who may be new to the hobby or looking to get into it. Providing this kind of context is important, as it helps set expectations and gives a clearer understanding of how these switches differ from others. After all, many people rely on these reviews to make informed decisions.
@@Tlads21 Lekker switches have 2 pins xd
I laughed just by seeing the title
you are not qualified to review keyboards if this is considered your best keyboard ever.
Name one keyboard that’s better…. I guarantee you none of them have 0.25 ms response time. That sound as good.
@@AphillyatedYT If we're talking out of the box stock, Wooting. Sounds worlds better stock and the software is unbeaten.
And if we're talking build quality, the Geon Viper 8k PCB that can be put into customs like the Frog and F1-8X.
Learn more about the keyboard space before buying the glorious.
Best keyboard?? R u serious?
Ikr lmao
Sounds like a 10$ Toys r Us keyboard... wtf are they smoking
I miss toys r us
true, it saounds terrible for a prebiuld.
I dont say this is a bad keyboard by any means, but the Keychron Q1 HE is 219$ as a full build (including switches and keycaps). Full metal body, fast wireless (tri mod connection), hot-swap, great open source program, great sound (much better imo) and everything. So where is the extra min. 150$ extra value here (I am not saying its not there, just wanna see the reasons/extra benefits)?
I think more channel should talk about value and compare the product with other offerings (but that way wouldnt be that many partnership/money I guess).
I think many of us talk comparisons, but this is a beast of its own.
As for the Q1, I never used it, or even checked it out.
But I just did, nice board for sure.
Now this one starts at $89 and it’s your option how far you take it.
(Plus HE & 5pin shot swap in one pcb is so cool)
Surely choosing to go w/ Hall Effect switches must've done this sound test dirty?
it plays a part but wooting and others sound WAY better than this so most of this is just typical glorious not having aclue
Listen to an Akko/Monsgeek HE sound test, or even a sound test of more budget boards like the IROK NA87 which cost
This thing is an absolute mess. Sounds terrible and is more expensive than pretty much any equivalent alternative.
Keychron Q1 HE complete is 219
Wooting 80 HE complete 199
GMMK Pro 3 complete 369
Your sound "test" made it obvious how bad it is while you sat there and claimed otherwise. What a joke.
That's what you get when a company buys a review
nah.. def not the best.
what is then
Crazy how much hate this keyboard gets i been using glorious boards since they released never a issue and always top quality. Just picked up this keyboard non pro edition and its truly amazing and feels even better then before and i have to agree spacebar could be better but the rest of this board is solid! Great review.
Glorious really put themselves far, far below the competition with this one. Now we wait for user reviews.
I love the keyboard but I may take it back. Over 400.00 price is just too weird for a keyboard.
The Monsgeek M1 V3 outclasses the base board in almost every way, at $10 cheaper! I bought it barebones and kitted it out with Gateron Smoothies and PBT keycaps. It sounds and feels amazing!
Please don't buy the GMMK 3!
na its to slow lol you must have missed the fact that it doesnt have 8k pooling so the hall effect switches are pointless
LOL slow ass 1000hz board bro pointless to even be a HE board
Way over priced for what it is. The Lemokey P1 pro, Monsgeek M1W V3 and dozens of other options that offered the same high quality package for far cheaper price.
Exactly
Prices for options only went up since this video was published. Same build is over 30 bucks more now on what is already a staggeringly expensive item.
Please please please don’t fall for this anyone, Glorious is a scam when it comes to keyboards, save your money and do some research and you’ll realise this is an awful option, tech TH-camrs getting paid to say this stuff doesn’t make a product good
When did keyboard community became so elitist? Sound is subjective you know. Yes they dont sound like lubed switches but they sound petty good for a stock version ....
That intro was some of the best trolling ever. I thought you were serious for a second. Wait, that was trolling wasnt it? The sound is trash and the price is trash. This video had to be a big parody.
I’m confused? Or are u trolling?
@@TheTechne You made it seem like the keyboard is amazing, when clearly it's not. That's either some top-notch trolling, you are shilling, or just that out of touch with the current market.
@@jasonjennings8465 I stated in this video, as well as many times before that I am not a keyboardist, nor doing I agree with the snobby keyboard community space.
This is truly a perfect keyboard for a real life consumer like myself and many others!
@@TheTechne Not when you can get a better product for cheaper. You've been around long enough to know what a good keyboard sounds like. Give yourself more credit. Non-enthusiasts will choke on the price and go with a different brand. Enthusiasts will choke at the price and quality. Then go with a different brand.
@@jasonjennings8465 price? Dude it starts at $89, the consumer and pick what they want to allocate features and price.
I personally think it sounds ok. Not amazing but not bad. I think a lot of the extra cost comes from the customisability and the convenience, so you aren't getting much value out of it compared to cheaper RT keyboards. I also think that 8khz and wireless isn't the most necessary thing in the world for a keyboard, there needs to at least be measurements for their latency to justify the extra cost. But imo, it at least offers more functionality than the asus Azoth extreme.
You lost me at 289 euros!!???!!!??? No f@#$ing way
Glorious are about 3 steps behind with this board. You can already get better quality boards for less than half the price. For example, you can get the bridge75 HE that totally destroys this glorious board with its sound and features and it only cost $109.
Soon as I saw the coiled cable, I knew everything I needed to 😞
so much people here talkin about how bad it sounds yet dont understand the concept of a silent switch
This is a dreadful product no matter which way you flip it, overpriced for every variant, sounds absolutely horrific
Great video techne ❤
People complaining about the board and the subjective opinion of sound completely miss the purpose of the channel.
What switches from other brands are compatible with this keyboard?
Keyboard sounds truly terrible bro isn't even allowed to be honest in his reviews. Every sponsored video from this guy is "The BEST *blank* EVER" started as a honest source for reviews sadly he has sold out. Unsubscribed.
Please tell glorious to send me that check on your way out ✌️

@@TheTechne haha! You're funny! I might not agree with you on this keyboard (at all) but you're still OG and I look forward to all your videos. I'll never unsub!
Is the space bar as clacky sounding if you orient it in the "correct" position?
I will keep using this 45 dollar Klim Shift that is far more bang for the buck than all the high dollar crap on the market.
Sorry but that keyboard does not sound good at all, it sounds awful, and even the cheapest versions are not good value at all compared to the competition that's out there right now. The higher priced versions are straight up robbery and the review itself sounds like a shill.
its an amazing looking board but my god. the price to customize is just astronomical.
so i recently just got a gmmk 3 he keyboard and it doesn't work properly... It lights up when its plugged in but none of my keys work, I have to keep messing with it for it to work but then once i shut my computer down its the same thing over again.. Any suggestions or helpful tips?
Was expecting a proper sound test.
Would rather get the Wooting 80HE than this lol
Why? Hype?
@@TheTechne half the price. They listen to their customers and add features somethings within a week. Haven't seen any other manufacturer act that way. Most don't make any additions or improvements and if they do it's a new keyboard and you have to buy that to get those additions/improvements.
It's more affordable and it looks better imo.
@@TheTechne Nah cause you are paying for much better sound much better software and just more quality wooting is a small brand while glorious is a huge corp smh just say you got paid you cant actually think the gmmk3 is a good keyboard for that price. maybe if it only cost like 180 for aluminum case and poly plate but that will make it cost so much more. stock wooting is meh but 10x better than what this sounds like.
just get the gmmk 3 he 140 and has he switches and 8k polling
we need a keyboard strap/ band like wootinghe
Spectacular red, black and white. Amazing video
packing so much? Not seeing anything new or exciting here. Just another 75 with a knob. Glorious are not great. I have a GMMK Pro and it's pretty crap if I'm honest, and I'm not seeing anything that makes me change my mind about this one. It sound quite poor. massively overprices, and massively outclassed by some much cheaper boards these days. Glorious... late to the party as usual.
Say i have the old gmmk pro, can i use my old switches on here? On top of that can i use the old switches and get the benefits of changing acutation and all those other features?
you can use your old switches, but to adjust the actuation you will need HE switches
@@TheTechne sweet! Thanks for taking the time to answer my question 🤟
Make it 100% layout and i'm buying it
Then go buy it lol it's on the website the 100% one
@@imliimits3530 the Pro HE only comes in 65 and 75
All the comments in here tell me you're broke without admitting you're broke. xD There is a huge difference in build quality between the GMMK3 and a Wooting, both have their respective applications and both are actullay good choices, its all about your budget at this point and the people bashing the GMMK3 couldnt cry broke more, Pocket white knights come to the rescue to bash me but I say ya'll broke and mad....
I agree. They pays for what product they could afford, not what they really want. LoL "Sounds awful". They propably dont have money even for good headphones, if they really think that they hears silence switches while gaming.
Wow that price is crazy expensive
the best keybaord ever? 🤣 This thing sounds like dog shit and costs 500$
idk whyy he is using the switches that sont sound as good tthe ones i have sound amazing
Love the concept! I'm always excited at sites that let you build custom stuff like this. Even the original Motorola Moto X had me going crazy and that was just picking the shell and button colors and adding text lol. As for this, I checked out the site myself, it's fun but I don't see myself buying into it yet. I am still using a GMMK2 (your review of that helped me decide by the way) and I still am having fun customizing that myself! I swapped out the original switches for Gamakay Pegasus silent tactiles and flashed the firmware on it to use QMK so I could use it with Signal RGB.
Now I'd maybe be a little more onboard if we knew how available all those little customizations will be on their own. If I could start with the basic prebuilt initially, but maybe every so often head to Micro Center and buy something swap out that'd be neat. If glorious can support this board well and add more and more ways to customize it, that'd be awesome.
It’s crazy how overpriced this is. Also sounds like hot garbage. I thought Asus has shit keyboards, but this takes the number one spot. Also, no browser software and he switch with hole at the bottom, the lube will leak
WAY over priced with everything else that available on the market.
It starts at $89
@TheTechne that's for a 65% barebones ... no wire. For that price you can get the Mongeek MV1W V3 which is Bluetooth wireless, and full aluminum and for this to get that cheap you lose all of that.
@@TheTechneyeah but that's for a non-wireless 65% bare Bones. You can get a full aluminum wireless 75% keyboard some places for that and a fully built one for $129 from Keychron/lemokey or Akko
@@TheTechne where
@@TheTechne $190
Keychron Q1 HE. No rattle, yes it’s only 1000hz wireless and wired and doesn’t have dual switch use. But it come out to $220 USD for a metal build, if I’m correct it’s half price. Insanely overpriced this company’s too greedy
Wooting 80HE
@@B_M_Atrue it’s a better experience I might get one myself., But it’s plastic at $200 and no wireless capabilities. Where as keychron Q1 HE($220) and Monsgeek MW1 HE($109-$129) just with not as good of a software. This keyboard is just sad. $409 for the same thing 😭 (being Metal, wireless, and Hall effect). The only advantage you get is dual use of mechanical and Hall effect switches. But not much people are going to use both.
Does this keyboard or does this manufacturer have the full keyboard, or are keyboards nowadays really are just these crappy 65% version?
Flip 6p might be the board for you. Everything you need with the possibility for a southpaw numpad.
The pricing stands awfully close to luxury keyboards and this doesn't look or sound like one at all.
This looks and sounds like a regular budget keyboard you can buy for $100 or $150
spacebar looks upside down no?
@@Watcher369 I always flip all my sb’s

Dislike this time, seriously, you know and can do better,,, sorry
Its compleatly over priced and doesnt sound that great for what it costs . If somebody is willing to pay the premium just for the custom part i dont realy see it .

Wish youtube showed dislikes again haha 😄

You can get a wooting with an aluminum case for maybe 230 that sounds better and has the better software in my opinion
Because we used our ears and eyes. Those hall effect switches don't even have pins in them so they rattle like crazy because pin reduce the play of the switches. I wouldn't be even surprised if the keyboard sounded "hollow", we have to wait for someone else do a review and sound test because the video barely shows the sound of the keyboard.
