The marketing for this device says that Glorious makes the world’s most customizable gaming keyboards, and I am pretty inclined to endorse this claim judging from what I am seeing.This keyboard is fully equipped for users to try things out and get the experience they want from this device. It comes equipped in this model with Glorious Fox red linear switches, and they are absolutely some of the nicest red switches I have ever tried. The accuracy, smoothness, and repeatability of these keys are astonishing and refreshing in standard typing and gaming scenarios with frenetic and rapid key tapping. As if it wasn’t enough to have the factory switches ready to go out of the box, Glorious includes a sample pack of switches for you to sample, complete with puller tools and instructions. I found that the included sample of the Raptor (crisp and clicky) switch felt really good and that may be where I go in the future with my keyboard. Customizability features such as RGB and macros programming are excellent in the Glorious Core software. They are easy to navigate and far more intuitive than other competing gaming peripheral software I have tried, like iCUE. Good on you, Glorious!A cool and unique feature of this keyboard is the true support it offers for MacOS users. Rather than just being a plug-and-play keyboard that misses out on some of the shortcuts and features of a proper MacOS keyboard, Glorious gives you the means to make that a reality! They included two option keycaps and two command keycaps (crucial for those great shortcuts in productivity work), and there is even a switch built into the keyboard on the back that switches it from Windows OS features to MacOS! That is super awesome and supports that this as a highly flexible and dynamic keyboard for all users.The build quality of this keyboard is amazing and judging from what I can tell, is on par with some of the higher-end customizable keyboards out there. The all metal construction results in this being a solid and heavy keyboard which speaks highly to its pro status. I chose this specific wired model because, as a streamer and a gamer, I have realized that wireless devices often introduce reliability and connectivity issues into the mix that can mess up a stream or my gaming performance. Furthermore, battery life anxiety is something I don't particularly appreciate having to tolerate for multiple devices. My headsets are always wireless, but I do not mind my keyboard and mouse being wired, plain and simple.Altogether, relative to the crap household brand companies are trying to stuff down our throats as a good value when they aren’t in this price range, I am going to give this keyboard a solid and well-earned 5 stars out of 5. I will be recommending this keyboard to all of my friends. Thanks for reading and hope this review has helped you out!

I have always loved the look and feel of mechanical keyboards, to the annoyance of my partner and at the time when office work was a daily occurrence, my co-workers. This might be because I was always a cherry blue switch type of guy... When I saw that Glorious was releasing version 3 of their GMMK PRO keyboard, I knew I had to try it out. I love the compact size in general for mechanical keyboards, but every manufacture has their own way of laying it out in a 75% form factor. I really do love how Glorious has designed this keyboard except for ONE "flaw", at least for me. There is no "Home" key, there is an "End" key, but the DEL key is where I would expect a "Home" key. This is just something I am always accustomed to using in my day to day and I know I can change ... MoreI have always loved the look and feel of mechanical keyboards, to the annoyance of my partner and at the time when office work was a daily occurrence, my co-workers.

I really do love how Glorious has designed this keyboard except for ONE "flaw", at least for me. There is no "Home" key, there is an "End" key, but the DEL key is where I would expect a "Home" key. This is just something I am always accustomed to using in my day to day and I know I can change the bindings via their Core 2.0 app (which I will discuss after this) but, would be nice to have that physical key, especially on a mechanical.The app... I know this is a preview build and has work to be done, but it really does have a ways to go. It is very confusing to use and comes with no documentation. I have no clue what the layers do, there is no in menu help to tell you anything. The key binding feature where you can assign macros, keyboard functions etc. is hard to use, I have not figured out how to do multi-key bindings, for example if I pressed FN + T and wanted it to do a keyboard function, it only seems to let me do one key at a time which is annoying you can't assign more than 1 key. Lighting effects are confusing to use and manipulate, even with the presets. Luckily it is software so it can be fixed, but it needs help.The switches on this keyboard are just heavenly. When I said in the beginning I was a Cherry Blue switch guy, mainly because I just love the feel and tactile response of a blue switch, when I first started to type on this keyboard, I immediately was skeptical because it was nothing like a Blue switch. These feel like cherry browns, but Glorious calls them "Glorious Fox". But man they are smooth as butter when you type and game and the response time is impeccable. The keys are sturdy, the entire body is sturdy, and quite heavy, so do not expect to travel with this unless you love a good workout. But just the overall feel and construction is amazing, I love the volume knob as well which is a very useful and nice feature to have on a 75% mechanical.Overall this is a great keyboard, but the software and some design features leave me to give it a 4 star out of 5 star review. Also wish I had gotten wireless, but maybe next time ;). I still will use this as my daily keyboard because of how great it feels on the fingers and how well built it is and the switch quality.

Lets take a look!Opening the box, I can tell that the GMMK 3 Pro is on a different frame than the original GMMK Pro, as the key layout is slightly more compact and omitting a Button for an … Led light? This makes the keyboard ever so slightly smaller, but certainly not lighter! Weighing over 2 pounds, picking this up out of the box made me giddy from the hefty alone! The very nicely made CNC aluminum housing packs extra dampening foam and adjustable gaskets around the bottom of the keyboard to make your typing experience as customizable as possible. Mated to this CNC chassis is an all metal backplate and Linear Fox Switches … Not HE switches… and while the GMMK 3 Pro touts being ultra customizable, you will never be able to use HE switches with rapid trigger due to the keyboard only having 1k polling and not 8k polling… so at this point I am already limited to basic keys and locked out of any keys needing more than 1k polling which is super disappointing. I really don't understand why this is done, possibly to provide integrity to their product lineup? That being said, Glorious has a cheaper HE 8k Polling GMMK 3 keyboard without the aluminum housing… so why does the ‘Pro’ lack features that the lower tier keyboard has? I initially thought this was to preserve the Gmmk 3 Pro HE… which is ANOTHER $100 to unlock the aluminum keyboard with the pro features, but it is wireless! So wired Glorious gamers are either going to have to get a keyboard without the well built chassis or get the top end model for 8k polling which to me is vert disappointing.I think at this point in the review, I would normally shift over to the highlights of the keyboard and what it hits really well… but this is just a repackaged GMMK Pro keyboard with an adjustable gasket mounted tray… for $260… this is absurd! I mean there is genuinely almost no discernible difference (outside from the minor layout change) from the GMMK 3 Pro to the original GMMK Pro down to the same Fox switches. I can get an all aluminum 75% 8k Polling HE keyboard of the same quality for less from another brand and less than half the price from glorious itself if I am fine omitting some novelty features (cnc housing, key caps, etc). But at this point in time I cannot recommend this keyboard with that price tag considering it is missing ‘Pro’ features.The last bit I wanted to touch on before departing is the software included with GMMK keyboards, the updated GMMK Core software. It is good, clunky for sure but you can get what you want out of it. It is both nothing special and just enough to get the job done, but certainly can be cleaned up still to save a few clicks.Overall and to wrap this up, I am really disappointed to have to leave such a negative remark on a brand that I do truly love and will continue buying keyboards from when they make sense. But the GMMK 3 Pro is all GMMK and no Pro at all, and insensible at $260 in the current keyboard market. When everyone in the keyboard market is moving to a CNC aluminum housing, 8k Polling, gasket mounted keyboards and all the trinkets that made the original GMMK so successful… it is really disappointing to see that GMMK really left all the gimmicks and ponies on the sideline in a product that could have been so great. If you are dead set on this keyboard, then I would 100% nudge you towards the GMMK Pro at Bestbuy as it is essentially the same keyboard with an included wrist rest and coveted coiled cable for almost the same price.
