Glorious GMMK 2 Prebuilt 65% - White

Love it as a Main Desktop KB. Lovely feeling keys. Weighty. Pretty LEDs. Nice long, braided USB cable. Rapid response. Bit expensive though.

I’ve had this keyboard for about a year now and am doing a review now! Honestly, I still really love it for the most part. If you have larger hands, this may not work for you, seeing as how it is 65 percent. I haven’t had any issues with comfortability. It’s not overly noisy, but I may just be used to it at this point. If you want a totally quiet keyboard this one isn’t for you! I love the RGB, but the software to use it is the part I dislike. The software isn’t user friendly and takes me a few tries to change to the color I want. I don’t mess with it often, but when I do that’s the worst part. Otherwise, the keyboard has 0 issues!

The keyboard is in used condition, so it’s not perfect. That’s fine because I knew it was used. The reason for the three stars is that keys 4, 5, B, V, G, F, R, T don’t work despite trying other switches that I have instead. I blew the keyboard out with compressed air as well. Another thing is that the pads on the bottom of the keyboard are uneven because I think the keyboard is slightly bowed on that side, and the keyboard rocks to the bottom left whenever you touch it. I could deal with that, but not the keys not working. I did order a replacement, and I’ll be back to review if it works and the condition.

Great keyboard for under 100 bucks. Got mine on sale I suggest the same or even try for the barebones kit and then customize it however you’d like. (You’ll probably end up doing so anyways) There are about 10 different light settings, you can set or change them via the app or the function key and the arrows I believe. The glorious app is relatively straightforward I haven’t really touched it much other than setting my lighting effects and polling. You can however set macro keys and different hot key settings. I just don’t use them. The responsiveness of the keyboard itself feels “better” or “higher” than a basic “OEM” keyboard (it is somewhat custom). The kit I bought was the white 65% keyboard with their fox red switches. I’m not 100% a keyboard snob or anything like that however I do like the sound and feel of them as of now. (I plan on switching to either gateron black or their raptor switches). One complaint I do have about this keyboard series or line is the lack of accessories they have available for this model. The pro or pro 3 have gaskets, top plates and even badges to really personalize your keyboard this model has 3 color options and you can hot swap switches. Who-hoo! HOWEVER again for the price (get it on sale) it’s not a bad keyboard. I did swap out my keycaps for pink shine though ones. The end key is the original glorious keycap the one from the kit I bought didn’t fit. An other thing I’ve seen and experienced with this particular model keyboard. Is the las row where your page up down delete key and end key are slightly different and have a different curvature to them so they sit slightly higher and different angles. I’ve read that you “HAVE” to buy the glorious key caps to prevent this issue or you can just leave that row stock or do as I did haha

Glorious Model O- Mouse As a longtime user of Glorious products, the Glorious Model O- Mouse was my third purchase from their lineup. Initially, I was drawn to it by its lightweight design and ergonomic feel, which are standout features that make the mouse highly comfortable for extended gaming sessions. The aesthetics are sleek and modern, appealing to those who appreciate a visually pleasing setup. However, the honeymoon period was short-lived. Within three months, I began to encounter performance issues that were impossible to ignore. The left-click started to exhibit signs of double-clicking, and the overall responsiveness seemed to deteriorate. This rapid decline in functionality was highly disappointing, especially considering the premium price point. Glorious GMMK 2-65 Percent Keyboard Following my positive experience with the mouse's initial feel, I decided to try the Glorious GMMK 2-65 Percent Keyboard. This was my second keyboard purchase from Glorious. The keyboard's build quality is solid, and the mechanical switches provide a satisfying tactile feedback that is ideal for both gaming and typing. Unfortunately, similar to the mouse, the keyboard also began to show issues within three months. Keypresses became inconsistent, with some keys failing to register intermittently. This level of unreliability is unacceptable, particularly for a product marketed towards gamers who demand precision and consistency. Software Experience One of the most significant letdowns with both the mouse and keyboard is the Glorious software. It is severely lacking in functionality compared to competitors. Macros are limited to just three profiles, which is incredibly restrictive for users who need more customization options. Additionally, the overall settings are sparse and do not offer the depth of configuration that one would expect. Even the outdated Logitech G502 software outperforms Glorious's offering by a considerable margin. Customer Service and Return Policy Adding to the frustration is the poor customer service and restrictive return policies. Amazon will not accept returns after a certain period, and Glorious themselves only offer returns within 45 days of purchase. Given the issues began around the three-month mark, this policy feels inadequate and leaves customers without recourse. Conclusion In conclusion, while the Glorious Model O- Mouse and GMMK 2-65 Percent Keyboard initially impress with their design and feel, the longevity and software severely disappoint. With performance issues cropping up within months and lackluster software support, these products do not offer the reliability or value one would expect. Combined with subpar customer service and restrictive return policies, it's challenging to recommend Glorious products at this time. If you're in the market for reliable gaming peripherals, it might be wise to explore other brands.
