Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Glorious GMMK Modular Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Barebone Edition: Compact 60% Size With DIY Assembly, RGB LED Backlit & Hot Swap Switches by Josh Flanagan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Damned. It's REALLY that good

I came from Drop CTRL, which I thought was bee's knees due to its build quality and RGB bubbles, but I finally began to understand why people were complaining about stabilizers Drop On their boards. After just a few toggle switches and keycaps, the Backspace, Enter, Shift, and Spacebar keys felt wrong. I was new to furs at the time so I didn't really know it was that bad, I just knew it wasn't good. So I ordered some Zealios Gold Plated stabilizers, replaced them but still didn't feel good. I dared this board and regretted not buying it first. Paired with Kail Box White Switches with Black & White Tecware PBT Keycaps for a panda look, it not only looks great, it SOUNDS and TYPES awesome. The stabilizers out of the box are damn good for a lockout. For example I don't need to replace them and they are day and night compared to Drop. So that's how they should feel. And unstabilized regular keys are also better to type on. I don't know why, I use the same switches and caps. But I'm guessing the overall bezel, PCB and switch mounting hole combination of this keyboard, I really don't know what they did to make it feel and sound so good, but it is. The build quality of Drop and RGB is much better. than this board, but at least two times more expensive. The build quality on this board is also pretty good and solid, but nothing beats the build quality of the aluminum drop case. The RGB on this board isn't the brightest, but it's enough for a subdued, clean look. But what trades this board for less RGB lighting and build quality is a fantastically affordable and reasonable price and great typing feel, so this board is my new endgame and the drop is just an expensive mistake.
