GloriousGaming GMMK 2 Full Size (96%) Barebones (Frame Only) - Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Frame, Full Size (96%), Aluminium, Customisable, Per Key RGB, American QWERTY Layout - White

Got this 2 years ago when I built my first mechanical keyboard. Don’t have a PC set up, just got super interested in building one and thought it would be a perfect opportunity to have a good keyboard for work. I love using it and it is great for a starter build. The price is perfect for what you get. The LEDs are very customizable once you know how to change them. Have had no issues with it!

I am very happy with my finished build. I used the following items for the build.1) Outemu Honey Peach Switch V3, 5 Pin Pre-Lubed Silent Linear2) Womier Low Profile Keycaps - Shine Through, Grey/WhiteI am typing this review with this new keyboard. I am using low profile key caps on this board and I am really liking it. Please see attached picture. I only have a couple of small issues with this keyboard. one is that the space bar key would stick after installing the space bar. I replaced the stabilizer with a Durock Stabilizer and that fixed it. The other issue is the layout of the keys will take some getting used to relative to the number pad and curser keys. I don't see any indicator for keycaps lock being on unless I press a key. Other than those miner issues I very happy with it. The switches were shipped here from China but they are lubed and work as expected. I did need to straiten a few pins on them but they are working fine. I will be keeping and using this keyboard ... :)

Love everything about this bare bone keyboard! You can download a software to control the profiles and rgb settings, but you can also use kb shortcuts with the Fn key to do this (I saw this on a YT video). It’s my first time building my own kb so there’s a lot more to uncover in this niche, and I’m here for it. I will be taking it apart to mod though, so it’s nice that it comes wrapped in PE foam already. :) Also, there’s definitely some weight to it which overall, does give it a more quality-like feel.

used this in a recent build with some gateron oil king switches and it worked great the switches sound good and everything looked good would use this base as a budget option again

I loved making my keyboard and have appreciated this product. I'm sad that it wasn't a full-full keyboard like I've been used to my entire life, but its the next best thing.My only problem I have had with this keyboard is that sometimes the RGB lighting decides to just not work. There is a reset key combo online that fixes it, just never had a keyboard that needed the fix.

stabulizers suck. the design can make it pingy but i love their argb firmware it looks AMAZING

Great keyboard. Overall amazing quality.+Price, This keyboard is a great price for what you get. It is the cheapest barebones 1800/96% keyboard.+Quality, Surprisingly very high quality. For the price I wasn't expecting something quiet this nice. Nocomplaints.+Software, The glorious core software is great. Allows you to program macros, change led colors, remap keys. Very useful.+Support, Glorious has some of the best support around.some cons- screw in stabilizers don't seem to fit without modification, Even the gsv2 from glorious. I tried with 2 different gmmk 2 pros. Both had the same issue. Random stabilizers are stuck no matter what I did. I think the top frame interferes with how the stabilizer lines up making it bind and get stuck bottomed out.-LED colors are slightly off. The sidelight led won't display yellow. It has a very obvious green tint. My gmmk pro does not have this issue.Overall I really like this keyboard. Was easy to build/work on and came out great when finished.

I always wanted a solid keyboard, but was hesitant to purchase until I saw this brand and its review and tried it. Did not regret it at all! Pretty decent weight in my hand, but nothing crazy. Still using it when typing this review!
