Glorious Gaming - GMMK 3 PRO Barebones MX Mechanical Wired/Wireless Keyboard

My favorites are the Logitech G815/G915 and the Glorious GMMK 3 100%. I’m currently using the Glorious.

Glorious GMMK 3 100% is the keyboard I would buy right now if I needed a new one. Lots of customization options and they feel really premium.

Keychron Q6 Max and Glorious GMMK3. Source: Have both. I prefer the GMMK3 because the RGB's are north facing.

Just get the GMMK3 barebones and get your switches and keycaps somewhere else. You'll end up with an insanely superior keyboard that way. There's also the Keychron Q6 Max, but it doesn't come in ISO + white, have to get ANSI version + ISO PCB + ISO plate. Mind you, the main difference between these two is RGB orientation: GMMK3 is north facing and Q6 Max is south facing. I have both and while the Q6 Max is way better, I despise south facing RGB so I've been maining the GMMK3 since launch. In any case, NEVER go with the manufacturer's switches and keycaps, ALWAYS buy barebones and get better switches and keycaps.

I have all three and so far I like the 3rd one the best. It's way way heavier and the acoustics are a lot better than the other two. It only loses to the Q6 Max in my book because it's missing those 4 shortcut keys. Other than that, can't beat north facing RGB!

There's a 3rd version already? I still have an original GMMK full size which I modded and installed silent switches and some MT3 keycaps. Still use it for in the office. There's some negative opinions about GMMK but mine is still going strong. Happy shopping!

I mean realistically the most you want a keyboard to be is durable and responsive. I personally use Glorious's fullsize keyboard.

Hi, I have a glorious GMMK 3 75 wired, I bought it a while ago and i took it on a fligth with me and after the key two and zero have been acting up when i opened it, i noticed that the little connectors that attack to the board were deatched i and then i put them closely together again it worked but the fix has kinda stopped working now which leads me to my questions can i superglue them in place and the keyboard will still work or no? is there another way to keep them in place?

I replaced my Logitech g510 with a glorious gmmk3 3 and I really like it alot.

The k70 uses lubricated mx cherry red or so and you just had to look at the switch to make it trigger.  Maybe I like the fox red because they feel like a combination of mechanical and membrane, but the biggest reason I choose the board was because it was on a great sale and wanted hot swap. Really like the board

I like my glorious gmmk 3.  It does have a numpad, but will still be smaller than your keyboard. I had a Logitech g510 with macros on left and big numpad on the right, and this keyboard feels small even with the numpad.

I've recently purchased a GMMK3 Pro, and a Keychron Q6 Max. Still awaiting delivery. But, I've got a GMMK3 TKL so can speak for it's quality. Superb build, so I'm hopeful for it's bigger brother. Both are hot-swappable, both have RGB, both will have their days on my desk...I'm sure

Love my gmmk 3 pro 75%

got the GMMK3 100%. I do like how I don't have the 108, but an actual 104 key layout, with the rotary knob at the end! The weirdest thing to me is the Numpad "0" stab location, as the PCB allows all the other stabilizer location for a "screw in" type stabilizer and EXCEPT the Numpad 0 location. For some reason, it's plate mount only??? Weird... But I would love someone to make an IXPE sheet for this board, and it'll be awesome!

I got my GMMK3 HE open box for about $70. I love it but I don’t think I would’ve paid much more.

There are far better alternatives than Glorious. This is coming from someone who's first build was a GMMK Pro, the first version of this keyboard. I had to purchase a seperate flex kit from them and finish it off with new stabs in order to make it sound and feel relatively decent. Despite buying the board AFTER the overlubing issues were fixed, I still got one with insanely sticky stabs. I just replaced them with durock V3 stabs but I had to file down the polycarbonate plate to get them to fit. The overall build was over 300 dollars, including the price of the top frame, flex kit, new stabs, and new switches and caps. Compare this to a several other keyboards I bought for way less and sounded and felt much better out the gate. I have a GK Gamakay SN75, Akko 5075B, and Batknight BK75, and all of them sound and felt better for the price they were at. And the best part is they came complete at less than 100-110 usd. The gmmk barebones I bought was 134 usd and didn't have switches or caps. Don't buy from these gaming companies unless value for money is truly just not a concern.

I had an old membrane Logitech and got a K70 as my first mechanical. I wasn’t happy with the MX browns and the lack of an edge boarder. I returned it for a Glorious barebones and Akko linear switches. I’m very happy with the hardware but the glorious software is basically unusable.

Here mine. I love it so much! https://preview.redd.it/wk44fvkr1p4e1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a125488aa97273382026e394c8a0abcff12625b GMMK Pro Glorious Panda Switches

I think you can't go wrong with Keychron. At the moment, I have the Q1 Pro and the K8 Pro. I also have a NovelKeys NK65, GMMK Pro and a Corsair K70 MK2 (my Frankenstein keyboard). Out of all of them, I like the Q1 best (has Gateron Oil King switches). If you want to mod your Q6 Max in the future, the Oil Kings are the best switch I have tried so far. But the downside is, that you won't see your RGB lighting anymore. I really want to give the Q6 max a try because I kind of need that Numbpad. But I think I will bring my K70 to its final form before buying a new one.

I keep having keyboard disconnect issues. This has happened across two boards now, gmk pro and now my Bridge75. I'll be playing games and suddenly lose all keyboard response, esc key flashes for a few seconds and then the keyboard reconnects. Always wired never wireless. Originally thought it was just the gmk pro, tried different USB ports, cables, still kept happening. Thought a new board would solve the issue. Not yet.

Ayy, fellow GMMK Pro user!

I have a keychron keyboard, I don’t like it. My daily driver is gmmk pro with Akko black lubed switches and Akko PBT key cap set and Akko magnetic keyboard 75%.

Gmmk pro get some undeserved hate, compared to keychron when they are similar. The gmmk con is a fake gasket mount and the keychron is case pinging, but very similar in my view. Not to talk about that razer and logitech keebs seesh!

I’m a little late to the party, but reading your post took me back to my own keyboard journey over the past few years. I started with a SteelSeries, then transitioned to a GMMK PRO, moved on to a Varmilo Minilo Pro 98% with Prestige Silent Switches, and now I’m using an Evoworks Evo80 with Oat & Poly. The Varmilo is fantastic—super comfortable and exceptionally quiet, which is great when you need something discreet. But the Evo80 just feels incredible in every way. It has a noticeably more premium build and a superior overall typing experience. If I had to choose, I’d definitely go with the Evo80.

I use a GMMK also and I love it. Why do you want to switch?

You can get one from a 3rd part, like gmmk, which have some nice palm rests. Currently using their wooden one.
