Today, we take a look at the brand new GMMK 2! This is the newest keyboard from Glorious, focusing on the improvement of the GMMK 1. This budget mechanical keyboard is full of quality, featuring hotswappable north facing sockets, RGB LEDs, side lighting, kickstand feet, doubleshot ABS keycaps, and uses the all new Glorious Fox Switches. The Glorious Fox Switches are linear switches that are factory lubed and have a transparent housing, which is similar to Zeal Tealios, Everglide Aqua King switches, and Durock L2 switches aka tealios copies. The transparent housing allows the keyboard to shine extremely bright when LEDs are on and at night. It's available in pink, black, and white, which is quite similar to Razer keyboards. The build quality of the keyboard is nice with the anodized aluminum top plate frame and the keycaps are pretty good. They have regular thickness so they won't be extra thocky. But they are shinethrough so it's extremely well fit for this keyboard. The keyboard also sports a low profile case, meaning the switch tops are exposed, making RGB spread look better as well make it easier to clean compared to a high profile case. Throughout my testing, the heft of the keyboard made it feel premium. The sound of the switches were pretty decent. The only thing that needs work are the plate mount stabilizers. Glorious should put their GSV2 screw-in stablizers as the default instead of the plate stabs because they sound extremely inconsistent.

GLORIOUS FOX GROUBBUY HAS JUST LAUNCHED! ► shrsl.com/3moqb
How loud are these switches?
@@guea69 Quieter than your standard red switch since it's prelubed
I've been dying to hear a sound test of the new switches online, thank you. Literally have been searching the web all week in hopes of finding a sound-test.
Thanks! Pre ordered mine yesterday and I’ve been trying to see how these switches sound!
i'm looking to just start out in the keyboard community and i saw this on franks channel and was looking for an actual sound test, this was super informative and helpful, i will definitely be getting this keyboard :))
Just got my hands on the black 96% and i gotta say it feels great and sounds amazing!
Just ordered mine, so excited to mod it & upgrade it !!
got some alliaz silent switches to go with this since it also has transparent housing. super stoked to get my gmmk 2 to try them out!
Received mine yesterday (black 65% version). My first impressions are that it is quite solid with no flex. The keycaps feel pretty nice despite being ABS although they don't let a great deal of light through. The RGB is less bright than my Duck one2 mini but I think that's because the Ducky had a white backplate which reflected the light through. Maybe the white version is better in that respect. The Fox switches feel nice, I'd say somewhere between a Cherry Red and a Cherry silent red. The stabilisers sound much better than my Ducky. Overall I'm pretty impressed with the keyboard although I might upgrade the keycaps to the Aura pudding keycaps to really let the RGB shine.
Aura keycaps (or the font) kinda ruin it for me
Hmm! Looks brilliant. I come from the GMMK Pro w/ GMMK Numpad. I kinda like the smaller footprint & still compliments my numpad. Room to have a completely different switch setup.
I might pick up the 96% for my wife as she now works from home and her job gave her a very basic office keyboard.
you should
How does she like it?
Damn, he ain’t EVER gonna reply but I’m just gonna be commenting this for fun
I've been waiting so long for glorious to make a 65%. I'm definitely looking forward to the GMMK 2 Pro, hopefully sooner than later.
Maybe with some new tactile switches too? (Red Pandas?)
I pre ordered the new 65% GMMK PRE BUILD KB BLACK 😍
@@King-pl4jk how was it?
@@mihirpareek943 looks and feels very nice but I’m waiting on gaming pc to test it out
Have a GMMK2 96 % myself and very happy with it, I have changed switches to tactile and keycaps though but the stock linears are easily the best linears I've used.
Wanted to say that the "input latency" in Glorious Core is confusingly named, it really is "debounce delay". It's set to a high value by default to 100 % avoid double presses, but I've been using the lowest 2 ms setting for months now without issues.
I went from an Anne Pro 2, Geteron blue switches (don't bully me) and when this keyboard came in I was super impressed by how satisfying and premium this keyboard felt. I just finished doing the foam mod which is included inside the keyboard box, and the tape mod, it's even better! Now all I need is to lube more :)
Never heard of geteron switches before, are they new?
@@hman6159 I bet you are fun at parties.
@@BananaOwO banana o nana
the full size 96% is the perfect keyboard. with the glorious panda switches it will be the ultimate office/gaming keyboard
I just hope we get a high profile!
Side note I used my K95 Corsair “custom” WASD keys that came with that keyboard (they’re raised and angled) on the GMMK2 and they sat on the switch fine (Corsair was a Cherry red)
tbh i might buy this because it has the ISO layout with spanish keycaps (not ISO latam which kinda of a shame but oh well). Plus the design is not half bad
Sounds pretty good lubed, especially for the price compared to the NZXT keyboard this one is fairly priced. Props to glorious once again.
I wish I got my hands on that new NZXT board to compare it :P
@@Romsicle I don't think you're missing out but if you do get your hands on the NZXT keyboard I'd like to see a comparison between the two, I have my vote on GMK 2 coming out on top since NZXT released a very lazy product.
Ordered one of these, looking forward to trying it out. Replacing it with my aging Logitech G710, will see how the transition from clicky to linear switches will be like, although I think I will be fine. Thanks for the vid mate
how is it ?
@@1PX I love it had no issues thus far slight annoyance is probably the fact that you don’t always notice if you have caps lock on and no dedicated volume slider and pause play buttons but I got used to all of it and it’s treating me very good thus far very satisfying to type on it
Good and clean review, well done.
I got the keyboard and the video does no justice for the keyboard. It actually sound and feels good in person.
What did you do for the second part of the sound test? Did you use the base keyboard, but lubed the stabilizers?
While their switches are 3 pin I've heard In mutliple other videos they sprung for the extra and the pcb has five pins per switch, meaning it can do both
You said “our switches” at 2:30. Do you work for glorious?
Appreciate the video and how in depth you went
I'm wanting the barebones kit, but what's stopping me is what I assume is the loss of the (display of) function keys (To toggle volume etc). It looks like that feature is only present on the their pre built model (with the abs key caps). Do you know if they make any other key caps for this board that do that job? If not, I might buy it pre built as it looks like a great value board
You could possibly memorize the function key shortcuts that you use often - that might be the best compromise haha
I got mine today and 2 of the keys don't work sadly. I have troubleshooted and tried everything glorious suggested in the support chat and they said I probs have a defective board. I am going through the replacement process. Gutted, the keyboard sounds great with my Gateron Milky Yellows. Such a shame...
Nice video thanks!
I just got this keeb and I'm very satisfied. The stabs on my unit sound better than yours (from factory), probably some inconsistencies in factory/QC.
Switches are pretty good, QMK is also what I wanted.
I wish there was a TKL version as it's my preferred layout but 65% is also good.
Overall a solid board, I have not much to complain besides the imperfect shine through keycaps, QMK documentation with a small mistake and the USB port not being flat to the case makes it a bit annoying to swap cables, which I do frequently.
I'd say 9/10 :)
Also, the switches are pretty good. Not the best on the market but noticeably better than most factory keyboards in sound/smoothness, although Steelseries Apex Pro and Wooting Lekker switches are contactless, so they're miles ahead in smoothness and customization (because they're analog), but the boards are way more expensive.
So do you think that sticking with apex pro or wooting would be a better option for competitive FPS than a keyboard like this? Even switching the switches out to something like lynx?
How are the ABS keycaps? I've always swapped mine out for pbt.
Has this for a year. Fox switches failed on most used keys. Glorious sent a 10pack replacement. Bummer.
Just watching this video now I am glad I chose to buy this keyboard as I hadn’t watched any videos on it until after I just thought it looked good lol 😂
I’m getting this keyboard as a beginner to keyboards. I was wondering what switches I could put into this to make them sound nice and thoccy
Glorious panda's are thoccy and really accesible, also buyable pre lubed or dry
You know any good keycaps set for northfacing Leds that are not color full and look like gmk and is budget
Just ordered one. Its my first customizable keyboard. Cant wait. But I'm curious to know what key caps are compatible with this?
Any set should fit perfectly as long as they have the right sizes for the bottom row keys and right side keys (you'll need to see pictures). No cherry profile because there's interference.
I noticed the FN key on the "choose modifier" list in the software (6:07).
Is it possible to create macros/media shortcuts with it?
For example make the FN + F1-F3 keys as volume/mute to fit custom keycaps? (should work with other keys if that's the case, but I was thinking about the 96% version which has the F1-F12 row)
you probably don't need the answer to this since you commented this a year ago now, but that is possible to do in the software.
@@_valheim thanks, I actually got the GMMK 2 in the end, but I'm still using the default keycaps so there was no need to try it so far :D
realy helpful vid
Hi I'm new to keyboards so I was confused when the typing test part had the + Lubed Stabilizers, does this mean you removed the stock ones?
It means I lubed them properly. A keyboard usually has "dry" stabilizers, meaning it has no lubed. There's also keyboards that have pre lubed stabilizers (like this one), but 99.9% of the time, they still have rattle, which means it didn't do its job. So when I say lubed, it's lubed properly where there is no rattle: just a clean thock noise.
Great review! Are the Fox switches compatible with Cherry MX Keycaps? I have some sets of the Corsair PBT keycaps and would like to change them
If you're talking about Cherry PROFILE keycaps: if you're using a north facing keyboard, then NO
If you're using a south facing keyboard, then YES. You can check my video on the difference between the two if you're confused!
@@Romsicle Thanks for the info, unfortunately I have a north facing keyboard. :( But I have to say that I enjoy the growing market of hot swappable 65% keyboards like Ducky, Glorious or Xtrfy!
@@Romsicle
@@yodaaki3652Most keyboards by major brands will have OEM profile keycaps, which are taller than Cherry profile keycaps. If you don't have Cherry profile keycaps, you don't have to worry about a thing.
I didn’t even know this existed😳
I could sleep to that sound
I need the same layout KB but wireless
i just got the 96% last week and it feels way better than my Apex 7. the keeb does not move when playing games unlike my previous keeb. i just want to have a keeb that I can use for gaming and work. and this fit me perfectly.
Are the stabs better than the old gmmks? I have a gmmk compact and these look into but I don’t know if the differences are big enough
Not sure if they're better because these ones aren't that great either. You'll definitely want to buy some aftermarket stabs for a better sound.
does the barebones version have foam dampeners for both the bottom and pcb plate?
Yup! Barebones meaning everything you see except for switches and keycaps!
I got the 96 and its really nice but my up and down arrow keys wont work even with scroll lock off anyone know what do do?
cant we install another brand 3 pin switch?
Would you recommend me to buy it fully builded or should I build my own? And are the switches comparable to the glorious lynx? And my last question, when you did the sound test what was the exact difference between the keyboards because I’m asking because of the sound difference.
i hope we get 75
2:09 can someone explain to me why normal cherry MX caps won't work? I don't quite get it, the stem seems to be normal length to me
Check my video on north vs south facing keyboards: th-cam.com/video/tx2mX_RjdsQ/w-d-xo.html
Keycaps will fit but they won't sound right.
Does it have bluetooth or wireless mode?
Hey, just curious... How did you overlay the typing test where it is just the words like that?
Masking + feathering of my screen recording
@@Romsicle awesome, thank you for the insight. Great video!
How do I get the led to work
You mentioned that this keyboard doesn't support cherry profile keycaps. The switch is south facing and shouldn't be any problem?
The *keyboard is what dictates the direction of the switches and this is a north facing keyboard.
Wich one this keyboard or. Razer huntsman TE
Is this the best fully assembled 65% keyboard? Also what are the best switches to go with ?
Best pre-built 65% is the NuPhy Halo65 - check my video out + discount code
should i buy GMMK2 or Filco ?
A real shame they don’t have wireless option.
I think it’s gonna be a upgrade from my Logitech k120 :)
He romsicle can you put durock v2 stabilizers on the GMMK 2?
Is there a plate mount version, because if it does, then yes. If not, then no.
I wanted to buy this so I can do my work and play games with it. But my office has a rule saying keyboards can’t be too loud. Would this qualify as too loud?
Nope, I wouldn't consider it as loud.
96 compact is the last keyboard I'll ever need
Will an XDA profile keycap set fit on these fox switches??
Yup, any profile will fit.
Is this pre-built
@ 2:00 "is our exclusive Glorious Fox Switches". Is this a company review of their own product on youtube?
Why not south facing leds...
any case ping?
Hi does hyperx pudding keycaps work on glorious FOX Switches?
Not 100% compatibility because you're missing the short shift key and all the keys on the right.
This keyboard seems so solid for around the price I’ve been looking for, but I can’t deal with the low profile case
Onboard memory?
Does anyone know if you can set the backlighting on this keyboard to just a soft-warm-white? 🙂
Yes you can set it to any color in software.
May I add, some underglow on that keyboard instead of side glow would be more impressive.
will gmk red samurai compatible with this keyboard? newbie here thanks.
You will run into interference since it's a north facing keyboard, so no.
i want to preorder this keyboard but i'm a keyboard noobie. can i hotswap any switch onto this keyboard
yes any switch as long as it is not an optical switch
Would you put this above the Corsair K65 Mini RGB?
I think I prefer the K65 design, but you can't beat the feature of hotswappability in the GMMK 2.
wish there was tkl..
man what is your wpm
2:09 whats a "normal" pull length for switches
*pole, but I'm not sure - it's one of those things you find out when you press down on a switch like in the clip
This keyboard would look awesome if it wasn't low prorile. I hate the way low profile boards look.
Pretty perfect other than the sound. I want more...
THOCK.
If I buy the barebone. Can I use my akko jelly purple on it?
Sure why not
@@Romsicle awesome! Im torn between getting this gmmk 2 or the akko pc75b. One more question. If you were me, which would you get?
@@cxg9092 I'd probably go with the Akko since I like having a volume wheel.
Gmmk 2 or razer huntsman TE optical mechanical switch?
100% Gmmk 2 - unless you're getting analog switches, don't bother with Razer.
Is this better than the first gmmk or should I just get the gmmk pro
I have the first gmmk.
Get the pro if you have the budget for it and like the layout.
There are reasons why this is half the price when purchased barebones
@@vectivuz1858 yeah true
I’ve just been thinking about getting the pro and I will pretty soon I just saw that they were releasing the gmmk 2 so I was like could I just get the 2nd one
@@venum98 i got the gmmk pro and wanted to replace the plate and stabs but I couldnt get the screws out because they were very overtightened
i have the gmmk pro and think to "downgrade" to the gmmk 2, the software of the pro is just too bad, media functions etc - i think the gmmk 2 is more conveniant
@@surf_machine yea I thought about it but I ended up getting the pro. Gotta say I love the layout and I’m already used to so I’ll be sticking with it lol
Can I put Durock V2, or OwlStabs on this board?
Any 3 or 5 pin switch will work
@@Romsicle Sorry I mean stabilizers, not switches but its fine i found my answer. Thank you!
@@navin7653
Are the durock v2 compatible?
@Hakaider85 sometimes..., some people managed to fit it in the stabilizer fit out for the gmmk 2, but some could not. I would recommend you to buy the Glorious GSV2 Stabs just to be safe because they have 100% compatibility
Wait so does cherry profile keycaps NOT work on these? wtf
Unless you're using long stem switches, you will get keycap interference if you use cherry keycaps! It's a north facing keyboard!
Are glorious fox switches loud
They're considered quiet compared to standard switches. They're quite literally enhanced gateron reds.
how do i change the rgb plz help its like locked ):
Use the software
I would still prefer a TKL version...
in my country they sell it arounf 130 - 10 euro and the keyboard has ABS... keykaps... like a 50 euro keyobaord with Outemu Switches...
I mean come on man....
Switches seem alright. I like the overall design of the keeb, but $120, plate stabs, a plastic bottom & ABS keycaps isn't groundbreaking.
Facts
Buy the barebones and choose your own switches and caps, best bet.
so how can u F1, F2, F3 ...etc ??
Press on the FN key + 1/2/3 etc
If it had 4000 or 8000hz polling and came with a coiled wire it would be perfect out of the box. Also no shine through keys on the top edge, glares on monitors
Wait, these can't fit MX keycaps?
the only thing it doesn't fit are cherry PROFILE keycaps because interference - anything else is fine
@@Romsicle oh! about about high profile like SA or MT3? I actually asked them and their support say it doesn't and to get their keycaps. -_-
@@terenceng3288 haha just literally anything except for Cherry profile - DSA, XDA, OEM, MDA, etc
Gateron Yellows smooth? Lmao they're definitely not. Not sure if mine were faulty or what but they were incredibly loose and rattly, Everglide aquakings arrived a week after the yellows and it's a night and day difference, the stem is nice and tight holding in the switch and goes down super smooth. I hope the Fox switches will be at least decent for the extra numpad
I stopped at centered USB-C. Not sure why this is a thing anymore. The best place to put the USB-C port is on the left side. Center port is dead in today's industry.
lol debosed. its called engraved 😁
you right LOL
why is the keyboard doesnt have F1 keys. As an artist using photoshop a lot I would not buy this
@7:05 "so maybe this is already the ultimate keyboard", c'mon. Really dude? I get this is a step up from version 1 but whatever they paying you to promote this just greatly hurt your street cred. It still has numerous glaring flaws out of the box and when compared to other keebs in similar price range it's far from "ultimate" and even you know that.
That's the whole point of the statement LOL to get people talking on whether it's actually good 😂
Wtf u mean u don't know what's up with there stabilizer lmao they aren't a goddamn tier 1 brand PERIOD. Never was and still ARENT. Lol dam. Near another Amazon brand at this point and they are smoking straight DOPE. Wanting 80$ for a goddamn SHELL. Hyper x or Corsair make great mini and tkl boards for 100$ and under with goddamn red linears on it. Gtfoh
Looks good but north facing leds and plate stabs... yeah no thanks
You can swap them out with screw in stabs
Ｐ𝐫Ｏ𝕞Ｏ𝓢ｍ 🤪
The switches sound terrible, def needs some fixing
