About this deal

Once upon a time Glorious released a Model O in Pink, which I picked up (of course I did as I collect other “cute coloured” mice such as the Logitech G203 in Lilac and White, Razer Viper in Quartz, and the Model O in Pink and White)… As soon as I saw that the GMMK 2 was available in Pink, I had to compare it to the Model O. We've now recalculated the Single Key Latency and Multi-Key Latency scores with the endpoint properly filtered out, and both scores have lowered slightly. Performance-wise, the Ducky has lower latency, but the GLORIOUS comes with companion software so you can program macros and customize the RGB backlighting.

Even though this is easier to clean than a keyboard where the switches are recessed I would personally also prefer an option to get a regular high profile case since that does look a bit classier if you ask me, though this is of course completely subjective and very nitpicky.This profile creates a nearly flat top, with the keys all pretty much level yet sporting a cylindrical bow to meet the curve of your fingers.

Conversely, the Function comes with a wide selection of Gateron switches pre-installed, so you don't have to purchase switches separately unless you want to. This Glorious GMMK 2 model is a barebone keyboard, making it the perfect blank canvas for keyboard enthusiasts. One slightly controversial aspect about the keyboard itself is that the switches still sit directly atop the plate with the GMMK 2.

I live out of a bag a lot of the month and being able to toss it in my backpack back and forth between places without worrying about breakage feels good.This barebone model is equipped with 5-pin hot-swapping technology, making it the perfect foundation for customising and tailoring. If you're interested in a similar gaming keyboard with a compact 96% layout but with better latency performance, check out the ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless.

Despite being pre-lubed, there were some rattles on the left side of the spacebar, but in my opinion it doesn’t matter too much if you type using the same thumb over and over. Although there's no physical volume roller or knob like on other enthusiast keyboards, you can control media playback and volume control directly by holding the function key and pressing the media keys. Plus, the compact size is more ergonomic and comfortable over longer typing and gaming sessions as your hands have less distance to travel. The GMMK 2 we tested uses double-shot ABS keycaps, which allow for a more comfortable and durable typing experience. On the Key Binding tab, you can remap keys and even apply mouse functions to specific keys, allowing you to control two unique devices only with your keyboard.The GLORIOUS GMMK 2, also known as the GLORIOUS Modular Mechanical Keyboard 2, is a wired-only, mechanical keyboard available in a barebones version without switches or keycaps or a fully-assembled version with linear GLORIOUS Fox switches installed. Unfortunately, it's a high-profile board, but it doesn't come with a wrist rest, which would improve the comfort overall. This lets you meld your work life and your love for gaming, and gives the GMMK 2 a leg up against mainstream competitors.
