Glorious GMMK 2 Gaming Keyboard Base - Full Size Barebones Kit- Hot Swappable Black Mechanical Keyboard - Modular, Wired, RGB Backlit,- PC Setup Accessories - 96%, Black

This keyboard is exactly what I wanted and the price was definitely right for the time! The barebones 96% gives me the num pad while still being a bit more compact. I really like it, it was easy to install my switches and caps. My first build was less than $100 since I got this board for so cheap. I think they're selling the V3 of this keyboard now so it seems a bit like it was a clearance thing.

Built out a board for my wife and she loves it. Study base, easy hot swap, and the software is okay. I wouldn't pay full price but great on sale.

Bought this board for my roommate, and I used Lubed AKKO Lavenders--Sounds clacky and to me not very appealing but here are the spark notes:Pros: Bought this on discount (I wouldn't pay full price for this), Very solid build quality, 100% form factor which is kinda rare, LEDs are nice and vibrant,Cons: Super annoying to take apart--ton of screws and just not a fun experience, I don't like the look of this board it looks very flat (imo), price (when not on discount),TLDR: Don't buy this board for sound or if you plan to keep opening up your board to do various mods.

Good weight, fit my keys. Just ended up not keeping as I found a built keyboard I loved.

This is such a nice keyboard. If you’re looking for a really nice heavy feel, this is it! The Glorious software is really nice and offers a lot of customization. I had to buy a 2nd one so I have one for work and home.Comes with foam included, so I just added some tape and it was all set. I did realize the side LED doesn’t match the color behind the keys, but that doesn’t bother me too much. Would still definitely recommend!

This board is great I have zero complaints. It can support 5 pin switches, and these are north side facing leds. If you already know what switches you are going to put in this board you cant beat the price. You will want to lubricate and tune the stabilizers, or just replace them altogether. To me the stock didn't sound/feel great stock. Aside from the stabilizers the board sounds great out of the box. The unit feels very solid, and the build quality is awesome.The software misses the mark completely. Glorious Core would not load at all. Normal troubleshooting yielded no results. Clean boot/compatibility modes/admin mode/uninstall/reinstall nothing really worked. Personally I would ditch the Glorious Core software and use QMK. I think its worth the time investment in learning how to use QMK with your GMMK2. If your Glorious Core experience was anything like mine it may be a lot less frustrating.

I got this for a relatively inexpensive keyboard build to bring to work. This worked for what I wanted. I used some tactile linear switches and XDA profile key caps and ended up with a creamy keyboard (that’s not obnoxious for my coworkers to hear all the time) for less than an arm and a leg.

this keyboard is very stout, the recessed usb is super tight fitting and the gold plated braided cable is also of nice quality. very pleased
