Glorious Gaming – GMMK 3 Custom Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Knob, 75% Tenkeyless Keyboard, Modular Gasket System, Doubleshot PBT Keycaps, Aluminum Switch Plate, Hotswappable Switches, ANSI (Black)

Great keyboard
I wanted a 100% keyboard and found the GMMK 3. I liked the white color (not for everyone, but why do all the keyboards need to be black?) and realized there are a lot of customizations I could add (will look into that later – keycaps probably first). I have now been using for about 24 hours and I am extremely happy with the keyboard. I really like he click feel (Fox switches are the standard). It has grown on me (not naturally into the click sound) over the years and these hit the right level for me (I don’t understand all the ways that people describe switches, I just know I like these – seem pretty straight forward). The build quality is solid and the included keycaps are pretty nice (will change them because I want to put more of a unique feel to the board).Overall I highly recommend. I went with the 100% as I wanted the numpad, if I didn’t I would have gone with the 75%.Oh, and it looks good on my black large mousepad, though I am considering switching that to a white mousepad (just worried about how often I would need to clean it).

If you want a good clicky keyboard, this is it.
I am on the computer all day. My previous laptop had very shallow keys and it caused a lot of missed characters while I typed. I originally found this keyboard at a computer store and after trying it out in the store, I had to have it. I LOVE it. The keyboard is heavy (which is good for my desk purposes because it stays stable while typing). The keys are unusually high for a keyboard which seemed awkward at first but I quickly fell in love with it. What *I* like the most is that the keys are very explicit and clicky. You have no doubt that the key was pressed. For daily use, I felt that my hands felt less strained from typing and I know I can type much faster on this keyboard than on any previous one I have had.I also really like the light up keyboard. (which was the original feature I was looking for). I am often working at night and I don’t want the glaring overhead light on to see the keyboard. I don’t usually have to look at the keyboard except for function keys, but I use them quite a bit. So, when the lights are dim (even during the day), I can easily find hand placement quickly and continue.For some, the height might bother them, but you can get a palm rest that may help.Finally, the only complaint that I have is that the keyboard I have connected to my laptop will sometimes lose the lights after it goes into sleep mode (I have no problem with the one connected to my desktop). It still works, just the lights don’t come on. Looking it up, there is a quick fix: Fn + Esc + F1 + F3 + F5 all at the same time and bam, the lights come back on. I just saved the fix on my desktop so I could remember it.

I’ve been using the Glorious GMMK 3 Custom Mechanical Gaming Keyboard for a few days now, and overall, it’s been an impressive addition to my setup. The sleek and premium design immediately catches the eye, striking the perfect balance between functionality and space-saving on my desk. The build quality is excellent, feeling robust and well-made, with the modular gasket system contributing to an overall solid and satisfying typing experience. The PBT doubleshot keycaps are another highlight, they’re textured, durable, and avoid the slick, glossy finish that tends to wear out over time. I also appreciate the minimalist and professional look of the black finish.One of the main reasons I chose this keyboard was for its customisation options. Being hot-swappable, it supports both 3-pin and 5-pin switches, making it incredibly versatile for switch enthusiasts like me. I’ve already swapped out the stock switches for something that better suits my typing style, and the process was effortless. The modular design allows for experimenting with different switches without needing to solder anything, which is a huge advantage.The rotary knob is another fantastic feature. It’s well-positioned, feels high-quality, and allows for quick adjustments like volume control, which is super handy when gaming or multitasking. You can also customise the knob’s functionality, which adds to the keyboard’s overall versatility.In terms of typing, the keyboard delivers a smooth experience. The gasket-mounted design helps reduce harsh noise and adds a bit of flexibility to each keystroke, making long typing sessions less fatiguing. When gaming, the layout ensures quick access to essential keys without feeling cramped, and the performance has been consistently reliable. There’s no noticeable latency, making it a dependable tool for competitive gaming.The RGB lighting is vivid, with each key’s illumination customisable via the Glorious Core software. The lights look fantastic on the black model, but the software could be more intuitive. It does the job, but it’s not as smooth as some competitors’ software suites.While the TKL layout is great, I do miss having dedicated macro keys. For those who rely heavily on macros for gaming or productivity, you might need to get creative with remapping keys via the software.Overall, this keyboard is fantastic for both gaming and typing, offering premium build quality, customisation, nice typing experience and priced reasonably.

This keyboard comes with extra keycaps and switches for extra customisation, with the switches feeling sturdy and quiet. The keyboard itself is quite weighty and feels very well made and excellent quality.Setup is very easy, just plug in and download the software which also allows you to customise even further.Lighting comes with a stylised RGB colour that is perfect for gamers and can also be customised via the software.In use, the keyboard feels comfortable and I particularly like the very quiet nature of the keys. I like the option to have the keyboard either flat to the desk or use the pull down nubs underneath so it is slightly elevated.I have given it 4 stars rather than 5, because although it is an excellent keyboard I don’t think it is the best I have ever used and would of expected a bit more for this price point.
