Is the GMMK PRO still worth it in 2022?
For those who dont know, the GMMK Pro is a 75% gasket mounted hotswapabble keyboard kit. It has a programable rotary encoder (knob) with 5 pin kailh sockets.
There are a few more options available than when this keeb first came out, but there are definitely still reasons I’d recommend it to someone.
If:
You don’t plan on changing switches very often but still don’t want to fool with solder.
You like (or at least don’t mind) a firm platform for your switches, and keep your expectations of the gasket mounting limited to improving consistency and eliminating hot-spots, which they do.
You want dat GNAWB.
You like a relatively muted sound, at least when it comes to aluminum chonkers like this one.
Then the GMMK Pro is likely a very solid option for you at this time. It’s still worth taking a look at what else is out there, but I wouldn’t consider this one fully out-moded by any stretch.
I’m not a fan of the 75% form factor personally, but especially considering they added the option to buy different color tops late last year I think it’s still a good option for customizability without being complicated.
