Btw for people wondering you can get custom knobs for your GMMK Pro. You can use guitar knobs which have a huge variety to choose from. Just lookout for the outer diameter of 18mm.
Found your channel recently and love your content. I did my first pc build back in September and ever since I've fallen in love with the tech world lol. Keep making dope videos man!
As a Japanese person it’s funny how our letters are aesthetic (on the key caps) 😂 just like how we think the English letters are cool And then butcher them with typos on shirts hahahaha
I stumbled upon this channel early last year. I never knew that mechanical keyboards were a hobbyist thing before. I thought that a corsair or razer keyboard was the pinnacle of keyboards and I was pretty disappointed with the lack of superior alternatives. The first video of RFP I watched was his $680 custom Grid 600 one. Now I've ordered a GMMK Pro. Already have my Black Ink switches, Durock Stabs, Suswatari Base + Monotone Keycaps, and a custom coiled aviator cable. My significant other isn't super impressed, but I'm having a blast.
theory, i think glorious makes their money on everything else they're selling. the keyboard is cheap because they can sell the lube station, the switches, the keycaps. accessories basically. and that adds up a lot. like, im not going to buy the gmmk, but im buying the lube station. not going to buy their switches, but I'll buy their brush to lube the switches i am going to buy. either way, cutting corners or not, i think glorious did a great job to introduce people to this hobby, albeit in a very beginner way. but that's ok, its finally a way to get started without going to geekhack
Man this looks awesome. I've had a regular gmmk for over a year and love it, but the fact that you can now build a really nice board with stuff from a single place is really cool.
@@Kiwippy I think if you don't use the four screws between the corner screws on the bottom of the board the sound will be better. I really hope someone tries that out because i think that will add more flex and really let those gaskets shine
I pre-ordered mine a few weeks back and seeing yours and Nathans reviews are making me want my board even more now. (went with the white gmmk pro, 62g durock L2, GMK minimal)
Thanks! Been waiting for this one for awhile. Seems the consensus is "Gateway to the hobby board". Not sure if that's what I'm looking for personally, but I know a lot of people will be happy for the $$
FRANK I’ve been waiting for this keyboard to come out since I’m pretty sure last year. Ever since I watched builds on the satisfaction 75 I’ve fell in love with the 75 percent keyboard layout. So glad you got your hands on these, great review man!
@@maybeoptify Because she's a touch typist that can hit 100 wpm, and she's currently enjoying the Niz Plum 87 electro capacitive keyboard that I got her. I'd go so far as to say she get much more out of that keyboard than I ever could as it is designed to get out of the way of fast typists. Me? I pause to think, then look up and see a row of "aaaaaa" across the screen. But the one thing that most TKLs are still missing is the rotary encoder, and look at the knob on this one! Shoot, you're right. What was I thinking?
Just started watching recently and stumbled across this and I now actually own one! Did the white build you did but with the rain forest keycaps and I’m absolutely in love but they did lube the space stabilizers too much and I think I might have to take it apart and redo it myself because yeah it is literally getting stuck sometimes when I use it. Overall though very happy with the build! Excited to get more involved with the custom keyboard world.
Besides being asked to subscribe many times throughout the video like I don't know how TH-cam works, the production value and overall effort into making this video is top notch.
Putting down the deposit right now. My wife has been asking what I want for my birthday, and this is it. She also says you're exceptionally good at your job XD I'm still going to hang on to my G915 TKL, because I do love no wires, but this GMMK Pro with a custom USB-C cable? All over it.
Everglide Aqua Kings! Yes, please do a full review video of those switches! I'm very interested in them and would like to make sure my purchase is an informed one.
You can order them with your GMMK pro as soon as you get the notification to buy it (if you reserved it). I guess they will be available for purchase when the keyboard finally goes on sale.
Honestly - I was preparing to cancel my Batch 1 reservation today. So much negative chatter about this board. But man, Glorious has killed it and this video has me super duper pumped to get my board and play around with it. Thanks Frank! You the man.
The japanese ones are called Keycaps PBT XDA DSA Height Standard Five-Sided Sublimation Process Keycap Compatible with GH60 / GK64 / GK61 / 68/87/104 Black and White Japanese they are sold out on amazon tho, good luck if you can find them somewhere else, maybe try searching simillar keycaps at Banggood or AliExpress
While the 75% form factor is nice, Glorious should follow up with some more form factors. While this is more of a personal preference, I would also like to see a 96% form factor! (Since it saves space while retaining a numpad, which some pros will probably like)
They probably (hopefully) don't need to cut many corners and can instead rely on their larger manufacturing capacity. Bulk comes cheaper than the very limited sets we're used to with custom keebs. Taeha did say Glorious confirmed they stamp cut a few metal parts instead of customary CNC-machining. But that's internal and if it means a 200 - 300 dollar drop in price I'm on board.
Bless the glorious with their beautiful keyboard with the approaching price range to go customize this is 10/10 look and price that I really might want to invest on
I just think them saying “goat stabs” is like shooting them selves in the foot. I’d be totally satisfied if they just called them pre clipped and lubed stabs
This board looks great! The features it offers are stellar. The sound test could be a little bit better imo, but something telling me it might sound better without the case foam. As for the keycaps, I think they look pretty bad, and probably sound pretty bad compared to higher quality keycaps. It’s the small details they did on this board that makes it impressive, like south facing switches, pcb mount stabs, and via/qmk comparability. Those are feature you rarely see at this price point. I think I will be picking up the black one once the availability gets better.
Yeah! Let's see the White build. Let's also see that Black and Brass build you mentioned! Maybe make a vid with a few different builds and a TON of B-Roll < 3
@@noidsuper you but also, you are not paying what you would pay for a high end keyboard, this is more targeted for those who wanna step into the custom keyboard market.
Really vibing glorious at the moment. I have the large glorious white gaming mat and a black glorious model D mouse. Might just have to get this keyboard now to finish the set 😁😆
When major companies come in with great hardware at a low price, versus minor companies selling their keyboard parts for $$$, props to Glorious for this, beating the competition🤩
None of the accessories are listed on the site, keycaps, sandwiched plate, coiled cable... I'll wait for everything to be up on there before pulling the plug but just thought you should check before you say that everything is available man.
Around 2-3 years ago i bought a Razer blackwidow elite with razer green switches it was my first mechanical keyboard and i loved it but i always found it to be a little uncomfortable to use at times and the Q switch recently stopped registering presses so i have ordered a gmmk pro with some nice grey,blue and yellow keycaps and kailh box white switches! i paid £140 this is in Scotland in the UK for the Blackwidow elite and i've just paid around £270 for the gmmk pro, keycaps,switches and wrist rest so i live in hope that i enjoy it as it's my first venture into actual custom keyboards. I'm not a heavy user but i hope it will last me a long time and the ability to change switches was very appealing incase i decide i want to change it up in the future, One other selling point was the volume knob i can live without the number keys and multimedia buttons on the Blackwidow elite but i can't live without the volume knob 🤣. Thanks for the review it was over a year ago but it's still helpful!
Hey Frank great video once again! What were the keycaps on the white keyboard in the video? Really loved them and am looking for them to use! Again good stuff and keep up the good work.
the effort and detail to change to white clothes, white watch, silver ring, and white mousepad is *chef's kiss*
