i use the gmmk pro myself and i really enjoy the knob. i ended up buying a second one just for work bc they weigh a ton and i wasn't going to constantly lug it around


I liked Glorious, and bought 2 of their keyboards. But I feel REALLY burned by the original GMMK.

* The metal shell has very sharp edges, which has damaged every surface it's been on.

* The quality of the cord is very low, and is terribly frayed now

* The silver accents on the edges appear to be very thin, and have worn off and made the whole thing look dingy

I don't think I'll buy another of their products. Maybe the GMMK Pro is better, but it's also a lot more expensive.


totally understandable and if that happened to me i would also be very averse to trying the pro (but this is my first product with them). thankfully the quality hasn't let me down so far. my only mistake was trying a pre-lubed option on one just for the heck of it and it was def over-lubed.


You know what? I really didn't need to know that there are other high-quality mechanical keyboards with a knob... [just kidding obviously :)]

Anyway, thanks for the info! Unfortunately the GMMK PRO doesn't seem to have the layouts I prefer, but I'll keep an eye on future products!
