Glorious Gaming GMMK 3 Rapid Trigger Keyboard, Hall Effect, 8K Polling, MX Mechanical & Magnetic Switches, Hotswappable TKL 75%, Modular Gasket System, Doubleshot PBT keycaps, UK QWERTY - Black

I've been a gamer for years and occasionally splash out on a decent keyboard or gaming mouse, I've never really spent much more than £100 on one though. This obviously has a very high price point and I had to wonder why.However immediately opening the box you can see this is a premium product, its very nicely packaged and the weight of the keyboard was surprising - really solid aluminium and is certainly not going to slip on your desk.It's plug and play so you can start using straight away. You can register on the website for the warranty and then I would recommend downloading the software which will give you lots of pre-set and customisable options for the Keyboard RGB lighting. You can set up a number of profiles which are easily switchable when required.The responsiveness of the key presses / sensitivity you can also customize in the software, I was finding the keys a little too sensitive - i.e. literally just brushing the space key was getting a response so I adjusted it and now it's fine.There are lots of options to buy and swap the keys/switches to change the sound and feel, which I might do in time, but for now i'm perfectly happy with how they feel and sound. The little knob at the top is handy as well for adjusting your PC volume quickly - although you can change this to control other options such as media playback.Yes this is pricey but if you had a go on one you would see why its very premium and high quality. I used this with a PC but it is Mac compatible and you can switch between the two simply using a switch on the back. (Comes set to PC as default).

This keyboard has been a fun and fantastic addition to my setup. At £199, it’s certainly on the pricier side, but you really get what you pay for. The Hall Effect switches and 8K polling rate make it incredibly responsive—ideal for fast-paced gaming. The Rapid Trigger feature provides instant key activation, which is brilliant for games where speed and precision are crucial.The keyboard is fully hotswappable, which is brilliant if you enjoy customising. The modular gasket system gives it a solid, yet slightly flexible feel, making typing comfortable and enjoyable. The Doubleshot PBT keycaps are sturdy and have a premium feel, while the UK QWERTY layout suits my needs perfectly.Overall, while £199 is quite an investment, the build quality, performance, and customisation options make it worth it for serious gamers. This is a heavy keyboard, designed to last.

A small keyboard without the numpad, which makes it more compact, the keys have a nice feel to them, and the sound isn't too crazy when you depress the keys like some other mechanical keyboards.The keyboard does have rear legs so you can raise the upper section of the keyboard to make it more ergonomically friendlyThe action of the keys is quite good, and as you get some sample switches you can try to see what switches fit your style best. Problem is you then have to buy them separately, as with all the other pieces to this keyboard.The sample switches all sound pretty much the same and seem to have almost identical action to them, unless I'm missing something? SO I assume the other switch types you can get can be tweaked to give different levels of pressure?This means that should you wish to try out "building your own" as is suggested on the product page, you would need to be spending a lot more, which to me feels a little bit of a shame, if you add all the extras you might need together, you could probably afford to buy a better branded one.At this high price point I think I expected a little more from it, in both design and modability out of the boxYou can it seems setup the RGB using the downloadable software, I haven't yet tried to see if this is addressable across areas of the keyboard yet, but I would hope so.All in all its ok, certainly not the best for a £129 keyboard, but it does the job, and if they were to perhaps, include some of the swappable plates I think this could be a contender. As mentioned previously for the price you could buy a branded one with better switches for the same if not maybe a little more, and certain the same if you ended up swapping out the plates, and switches of this keyboard, all adds up.Because of that I'm only giving it 4 starsBut I would certainly recommend it as it does what it says it will and works well, just the mod part of it for me lets it down, when it could be so much more

Glorious my ****.

The first thing you notice, apart from the amazing packaging, is the sheer weight of this thing. 1.85kg - to say it's built like a tank is an understatement. You could someone so serious damage with this thing!On the desk, there's no danger of it slipping around, coupled with the weight you've also got some decent rubber pads.The action of the keys suits my style of typing and everything is super responsive and 'clicky' with the hall effect keys. When you actually start using the keyboard, everything just feels so superior to a normal keyboard (which you'd expect if you're paying £350 for a keyboard). I like the fact you not only get 2 wireless options but also a hard wired option with a cable included - and the ability to switch between mac and pc configs (with included keycaps) is also good.If you're in the market for a top notch keyboard with full customisation - look no further. Expensive, weighs a ton, but soooooo good!
