GLORIOUS Gaming - GMMK 3 Barebones Custom Gaming Keyboard, 100% Mechanical Keyboard, Modular Gasket System, Hotswappable MX 5-pin, Sound Dampening Foam, Aluminum Switch Plate, ANSI (Black)

I’ve been really happy with this barebones keyboard. It works great and feels very durable right out of the box. It comes with some test keycaps, a switch puller, and a keycap puller, which makes building and swapping parts super easy. It also includes a mini screwdriver and some extra small repair tools, which is a really nice touch in case you need to open it up or make adjustments. The RGB has a lot of different modes to choose from and looks really clean once everything is set up. It’s not too heavy, but still feels sturdy and well-built on the desk. Overall, a great base if you’re looking to build a custom keyboard. Would definitely recommend it.

Bought a barebones GMMK 3 Pro only to find out after assembling the entire thing that the 8 and 3 keys on the keypad were dead. Thought it might be a bent connector on the switch and after testing 3 different brands of functioning switches, I confirmed it to be a bad keyboard. Exchanged it for a new GMMK 3 Pro, only to have the replacement have another dead keypad key. I have never had an issue with Glorious hardware before, but the quality control on these keyboards are terrible.

Overall, this is a good barebones keyboard for the price. You get a lot of customization via the software which is neat. Build quality doesn't feel the most premium but definitely not bad either. My biggest problem I have is when I updated the firmware to version 0009 it completed bricked the RGB and would not light up or respond on the software, the way I fixed it was FN + ESC then F1 + F3 + F5 (Hold for 10 Seconds.) Everything worked fine after doing the factory reset but I get some occasional flickering on the side RGB light that I did not have before updating the firmware. If you can get this keyboard on sale, I would recommend it, just don't update the software and save your self the headache.

Great beginner keyboard kit

second faulty board delivered in a row. i am not ordering this again and I will not recommend this to anyone to buy. 98% chance that some of the switch connectors are not lined up properly which makes the key effectively dead. i included a photo of what I am talking about. look at the A and X key. pretty sure I received someone’s board that they returned and they didn’t even bother to check it. very bad look. buy something else

There at much better keyboards at similar prices. If you can get this on sale it is a much better buy but I cannot recommend this at full price. If you know how to mod a keyboard and want to pretend this is a problem-solving-game then this is keyboard for you. My biggest issues: The volume knob is wobbly (a known problem for this brand), the stabilizers will stick in the down position and are poorly lubricated (a known problem for this board), the software is annoying (a known problem for this brand). The good: All metal construction and easy to open. It is very easy to mod and a nice entry-level keyboard for the hobby.

I used this as a donor board. My GMMK 3 custom came DoA so i bought this, took out the PCB and put it in my metal case, viola! Worked like a charm.

well first the pictures are false in the fact that one of them states that the whats included in the package and its says it comes with the GMMK 3 pro barebones. Ok fine thats a mistake whatever but then under where it list the info like brand color description and so on, under Special Feature (Aluminum Body, Barebones Keyboard, Customizable, Tenkeyless 75% Layout, Wired). Well when it arrived it sure was not an AUMINUM BODY, it was plastic and it wasnt a good plastic like they use to make many decent keyboards these days like the aula, epo, mchose, and so on, this plastic just felt CHEAP. Made it feel like a toy. The only thing aluminum was the plate. I never would have ordered this if i knew it was a plastic body. Sure i could have researched it and found out but the point of them adding the description on this page is so i dont have to do that. So i obviously returned it. For a brand that has been around a while, they dont seem to take much care in how their products and advertising are being handled.

Klar hat etwas Flex wenn man es grob anfasst, aber auch da Knarzt nichts. Hatte keine Probleme beim bestücken oder mit der Software. Bin mit dem Klang auch zufrieden - nicht der Wahnsinn, aber solide. Folgendes kann ein Nachteil sein, wenn das für euch relevant ist: Es fehlt eine dedizierte Home taste. Diese wird über FN + End realisiert. Wäre die delete Taste oben wo das Logo mit der LED ist, hätte man rechts Platz für eine zusätzliche Taste. North-facing LEDs Die Leds zeigen nach norden, kann je nach Keycaps relevant sein. Siehe Bild.

Bought the barebones. Easy installation with own switches and keycaps. Comes in a nice box and accessories.

I definitely recommend this keyboard. However, mine did arrive damaged. The S key wasn't working, turns out the contact the switch goes into was broken off from the solder on the PCB. It was an easy fix though, a guy was willing to fix it for me for ten to twenty dollars. I doubt you'll have the issue as I did because most people don't. My only thing is I wish there were more RGB options in Glorious Core.

All the keys work for me despite other reviews. Great starter board with a heavy and solid build. I like that the edges are taller too. makes for a slicker look

Arrivée brisé, la moitié des touches sont non fonctionnel... Ce n'est pas mon premier projet, mes sûrement mon dernier avec Glorious
