For me it isn’t just about the way board feels, it’s more about the way thing are implemented in it. I honestly feel like Glorious was just looking to check the hype boxes off & don’t really care how the end product feels now that I’ve seen how the board is put together. I’d rip NK just as hard if they did things the same way Glorious did here. Ultimately though, my biggest gripe with this board is that it is most likely gonna sour some newcomers to the hobby. If it was more clearly marketed as a lower/mid level custom MKB I wouldn’t have such a problem, but from what I’ve seen Glorious is only referring to it as an entry level product when talking to us enthusiasts. Who are not the target audience for this board. The fact that they are marketing this a premium product, then went about producing it as cheaply as possible & obviously without researching how to implement the buzzword features they chose to use in it just screams cash grab to me.
There is a flip side to this coin IMO. If they really were looking to make a quality product & be accepted by the hobby they could’ve easily researched this stuff before announcing anything. To me there is a huge difference between the damage control they are doing & proactively trying to do better.
I accept you are a deep dive enthusiast but what it comes across as is: my opinion is gospel thus its the way I say.
Okay I guess. BTW most reviews said its a good entry
I mean you are free to have whatever opinion of my comments you want, but that is definitely not what I am trying to do. I know most reviews say it’s a good entry, but I disagree & was stating my case as to why. Not trying to force my opinion on anyone.
me after not being interested in this board but seeing that reviews came out and there is a lot of discussion in here so maybe I should check out what people think:
I was saying Boo-urns shitting on them before this thread, just not in here.
Also the issue for me is the fact that Glorious were hyping the hell out of features, and then seemingly missing the point on what they’re for.
Yeah for the record I think we just don’t talk about it here because it doesn’t directly intersect with our community specifically, but it is bad. Similarly it gets used a lot as a hashtag on Instagram by a number of keyboard folks and it sucks to see it there, too. Sucks to see it anywhere.
Not even the wording, the sub itself is… oof-worthy at best and completely unhinged rancidity at worst.
this I can agree on
i think youre describing all of reddit
I certainly think it’s descriptive of pretty much all of the larger subreddits; in my experience communities can be pretty good when they are smaller but as they scale larger the amount of moderation/community management (whether that’s official or unofficial) required to curb toxicity gets orders of magnitude harder to effectively and consistently implement. The trend of the internet over the past 20 years to more and more centralized platforms makes it simultaneously difficult to moderate and immensely difficult for the people affected by that toxicity to distance themselves from the communities that exist on those platforms.
In the early aughts if too many people were being dingbats on a small forum I could just leave and go elsewhere, I could probably even keep in contact with friends from that community over AIM or something, but leaving Twitter or Reddit? That means leaving friends behind, leaving professional contacts behind, possibly even leaving job opportunities behind; for somebody making keyboards or keycaps or switches it’d mean leaving a huge set of potential buyers behind simply because they’re accustomed to getting everything in one place (an achievable goal in the old days of RSS readers and newsletters, but people seem to prefer being in these enormous messy centralized platforms rather than being very selective about which streams of information they’re getting).
I much prefer the federation of decentralized forums, even if it takes a bit more elbow grease and a lot more accounts/passwords. Seems much easier to keep things respectful and civil or bounce if things get out of hand.
Everyone knows that reddit is best used for laughing at cats while taking a dump.
Shall we get back to ridiculing over-compressed gaskets? 
Am I the Asshole and Am I the Devil are Treasures!
“Am I the asshole for…” Yes, Yes, you are!
I have bought from those two and this one in the past:
https://keygem.store/products/pre-order-gmmk-pro-keyboard
- Keygem was by far the fastest and most friendly.
- Candykeys has good days and bad days.
- Caseking was erratic, I would only buy from them again if there is no alternative.
I second keygem. Best store in EU and Germany super fast and immediate help from the support if needed
F2 to rename files, F5 to refresh, F11 to full screen browsers. All day long. Occasional BIOS stuff. You can’t beat doing that with a single key press. I’m going 75% after my current 65% because I miss that even after two years of ‘getting used to’ Fn + number. It probably won’t be GMMK Pro as I can’t handle that gap around the edges between the case and caps. It might as well be a low profile board.
Indeed, it looks disgusting.
Here is an ISO option from a UK shop.
In some review videos I see different plate options (brass, alu, poly), but I don’t see that option anywhere in the order process.
Where does one get these from or make that choice?
I think that’s a typo or mistake on the site there - the photos show the ANSI version, and I don’t think Glorious has mentioned that version being ready yet.
