Glorious PC Gaming Race first started in 2014 with the idea of disrupting a PC gaming peripheral market that was dominated by a select few big companies.

It certainly didn’t detract from the typing experience and we had no issues or complaints with them there. It has a slight incline naturally, but you can pop the little kickstand feet out if you need more typing angle. While we reviewed the full-size format of the GLORIOUS, it's also available in a compact 60% or TKL layout. Unfortunately, it isn't fully compatible with macOS as there are a few keys that don't work, and the customization software is only available for Windows. When she isn’t writing about Apple, Christine can often be found at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, as she is a passholder and obsessed with all things Disney, especially Star Wars.

With the GMMK, regardless of size, you get a solid piece of aluminum that feels solid and fairly hefty. We've added new tests for Single Key Latency, Multi Key Latency, Data Transmission, and Chord Split.

The GLORIOUS has a hot-swap board that lets you change the switches without soldering, allowing for greater customization. By default, the GMMK only takes compatible 3-pin switches, including standard Cherry, Gateron, and Kailh switches.

The chassis itself does not sit too high, so it's more comfortable to use, even without a wrist rest.

Our GLORIOUS GMMK features Gateron Brown tactile switches, which feel somewhat similar to the very popular Cherry MX Brown switches. Due to the top plate being metallic, this sound is transferred much more strongly and you will notice it. Many smaller keyboard makers are compatible with such programs, so I wish Glorious and other bigger brands would reconsider OS compatibility — not everyone who likes to use mechanical keyboards is a PC user. Overall, the GMMK is a great mechanical keyboard for beginners, whether you want something prebuilt or fully customized from the get-go. With a focus on form, function, and aesthetics, we painstakingly perfect each product we sell so it can be confident that every purchase is the right one.

For newbies, the prebuilt option has everything you need: Gateron Brown switches and standard backlit keycaps. You'll also need to use the Fn key with F7 to play/pause audio, and F5 for going back a track, and F6 for skipping. The board is almost fully compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, although some non-alphanumerical keys don't work on the latter two. The GLORIOUS GMMK and the Ducky Shine 7 are very similar, with the main difference being that the GLORIOUS has hot-swappable switches.

It's important to note that the Glorious GMMK, one of the best keyboards for Mac, comes in three sizes: Compact (60%), Tenkeyless (TKL), and Full Size. Note that the board is hot-swappable, meaning you can easily choose which switches you want, and your experience will vary depending on which switch you go for. However, if you're looking for a very similar keyboard with a better build quality, check out the GLORIOUS GMMK 2. And while it is advertised as only compatible with 3-pin switches, you can clip the extra stems off of 5-pin switches to work with the GMMK.
