im trying to make a list for my dream gaming setup and this video really helped for the desk part
was a good watch, gonna look into it now
Great video❤❤❤
Thank you!!
Are we really talking about this thing like its old news? Its barely over a year old!
They act like we finna buy a new keyboard every couple of months💀
I have a question about it man. Is it worth it?
@@firewood3109I just bought one now and don’t intend to mod it apart from lubing up switches and replacing key caps, so I’ll give my two cents soon
@@firewood3109 gmmk barebone was one sale for $20
@@firewood3109 It is and its a good keyboard where you dont have to buy a new one
I can't believe how many of us threw proper typing away and still type just as fast lmao
Huh, I didn't watch the video, but the title is pretty weird for a video for mod 2023 o_o
Better than apex mini?
can you upgrade this keyboard with optical switches?
No. Requires different PCB.
@@farmeunit IMO, they still have to work out the optical switches being too sensitive for casual and work typing keyboards i.e. Corsair's K100 OPX.
you can get that with wooting, you can set where it only becomes "sensitive" when a game is running@@anavan7
im buying this for christmas
Until this day the gmmk pro 2 is still an amazing keyboard and their is nothing wrong with it. Its good for gaming for typing the sound is amazing nothing can go wrong you can customize it if you get bored its a dream come true. And its a very good keyboard for another reason ''we aint funna keep on buying new keyboards who look the damn same''
Not really to be honest, it's OKAY at best.
@@Brickbuilder128 yea keychron has better options
This thing is outstanding in falling apart. After everyone recommended this i bought a gmmk2. "S" key was not working anymore after 3 month "Shift" after half a year. On top of that u never see Capslock at daytime cause its hard to spot the slight glow from underneath the keyboard. No indicator on top of the keyboard. This text was written by a cheap alternative keyboard cause i "destroyed" the keyboard after it let me down.
Sounds like you got a bad unit, mine is not like that, but so sorry for yours. Regarding the caps lock, the slide lights flash when caps lock is enabled. What bugs me the most is that there are no onboard audio keys with the function keys. Do you know if those can be enabled somewhere?
I dont think so, I just ordered the 65% white version, it should come in a couple of days. Do you think that it's worth it?@@worldofz00
same here and they have you jump through hoops for the warranty that doesnt work
To answer the question asked in the title of the video. No, it's not. The GMMK 2 is TERRIBLE. I bought one had it on my desk for about 45 minutes. It's just BAD. Maybe when it came out in it was a decent board, but in today's market it just does not hold it's own. It's mushy and feels uneven. Some of the keys just have a flat feeling stroke to them.
What would you recommend for around the same price range?
@@WILLBRINE I know they are kinda being recommended all over the place now, but Keychron has quite the selection of boards at various price points For me the V series of board hits the sweet spot. It has all of the goodies that you could want at a price that is hard to beat. The one biggest downside is the RGB. It has nice and bright RGB, but the switches are mounted with the LEDs on the space bar side of the switch, know as south facing switches. This makes shine through keycaps kind of hard to come by. The trade off is that Cherry profile keycaps will fit the board more easily. Most gaming keyboards have the switches mounted in a north facing orientation. That makes for easier use of shine through keycaps, but it also makes Cherry style key caps a trouble to fit some times.
@@brandons9138 Wow what a description! Much appreciation for the effort put into this, I'll be probably getting the V1 K Pro Red Switch keyboard.
@@WILLBRINE I currently have both a V3 with reds and a V2 with browns. Both sound and feel really nice out of the box. I'm trying to decide which layout I like best. I've been considering the V1 as well. It's the middle ground as far as layout goes between the V2 and V3. I just need to make up my mind as to which switches I want to go with.
