It seems like some people are upset new people might be interested in their hobby and they won’t feel special anymore, bizarre

You are one of the very few luxury custom keyboards streamers out there who knows how to stradle the line between the enthusiast and the more average consumer sides of this hobby and this video is the living proof of that!

Thats what I thought before I realized what I needed to do considering I bought the PC plate (assuming they would assemble it with it). But that said, it helped me be more comfortable with the insides of a keyboard much like I am with PC hardware so really, I'm glad I was forced to take it apart and put it back. Makes it less daunting of a task if I ever decide I need to change stabs or anything else.

I would imagine (can't confirm since I don't have the board myself) that it will be softer if you did not screw in the standoffs and used the PC plate instead of the alu or brass plate. But based on other reviews I've seen, the gaskets needing to be double stacked may contribute to it being stiffer, but I think you can just double stack 4 rather than all the gaskets so the plate and PCB float between those four and bottom out on all the bottom tray gaskets. If I had this board, I'd experiment by doing that, but I didn't place an order since I'm not a big fan of pre-orders with no proper review and seeing how most reviews on this board is mixed (although mostly positive), I'd rather wait for a revised version since it will always be in stock anyway.

I would recommend the C³Equalz x TKC Stabilizers for this board. They cost me around $26 for a set shipped to the UK. Took about 3 weeks to arrive, but they where worth the wait. Personally I prefer the stiff board. For me having flex reminds me rubber domed keyboards. With well lubed switches and stabs this board sounds sweet. I running generously lubed gateron reds for letters, function and numbers, and well lubed blacks for the enter, spacebar backspace (i.e. other keys). Its a good keyboard for the price. Good video btw.

the stabs need a lot of work. I : -washed the excessive amount of lube present in the stab stems -relubed them with 205g0 -wire balanced all of them -band-aid modded them (in place of the piece of soft plastic tape that renders them sticky on bottom out) -holeemoded all of the stems The left shift, enter key and backspace are sounding okay. The spacebar however, is not good at all though, and rattle is still there. Since I was considering the polycarb plate, I might just replace these withe DUrock V2s and throw them in the trash

Great review, thank you! As for the stabs, I feel like the reason why the tolerances are really tight is because it looks like the plates are meant to also support plate mounted stabs which usually have tighter plate cutouts. It would've been cool if they just made for PCB mount stabs only.

As a newbie coming from a Corsair K95, the GMMK Pro was incredibly frustrating to work with. I got mine from a reseller, and i think it was one of the early batches. I experienced all the issues you described and then some: 1. 'goat' stabs came overlubed, causing my spacebar to stick. Had to clean it up, wait for it to dry and then relube them. Still didn't feel like a 170-dollar keyboard and a whole day wasted. 2. Bought durocks, but realized the alu plate doesn't fit Durock stabs so I had to sand it down. More time wasted. 3. A million screws holding the plate down is really discouraging me from opening it up to change or mod stuff. On the bright side, I liked how it sounds now (Akko Matcha Greens + Durock V2s holee modded + imitation pbt GMK Botanicals) but the whole experience just didn't justify 170 USD for me. Looking forward to get the QK65 as my second board. Btw great content, i just subbed. :)

This board looks great and it's a steal for the features it has plus it being an aluminium board. I think it will be a great help to the community by introducing custom mechanical keyboards to the community and it's a great first try by Glorious. If their mice are anything to go by, is that the board can be revised and the flaws can be fixed. So perhaps a couple of months down the road, a v2 will be released, be it a stealth release or an announced release (likely the former to prevent any buyer's remorse) and then we will have a great 75% option for entry-level mech enthusiasts. Right now my top two choices for entry-level boards are either the Ikki68 Aurora or this and if they get this board perfected, this would be my top choice easily.

The keeb community is so far up their asses with prices that a great board that will end up costing up to 400-500 dollars after switches, keycaps and other things is entry lvl. you know what annoys me ? is that to this keeb compared to a "high end" one, you are paying just for the exclusivity of the high-end board, thats it. Theres no reason a well made aluminium keeb with some weights added to it should cost 500 more. we just pretend theres a huge difference so we can make ourselves feel exclusive and better.

I'm currently considering getting it and as a mech keyboard noob he mentioned and explained quite a few points that had been question marks for me after looking at the Glorious website.
