Glorious GMMK PRO vs Logitech G710+

It's really that which caught my attention. This manifests itself in not just a slew of optional extras that you can get for it, but a premium chassis...

it's a very thin part, and if you press on the wheel, it can break. Or, even if you use the wheel normally, it can shear off because of the rotational force- the torque- so, torsional shear fracture. I'm going to see if I can maybe glue this little hexagonal rod back to the big volume wheel, and try to use it. I'll update this review if I can fix it

This kit has some of the worst stabilizers i've had the displeasure of "using". Spacebar rattles and the other ones stick. To remedy this you can try cleaning them but not like Glorious instructs on their website with isopropyl alcohol; that murks the inside of the plastic housings and makes them abrasive and scratchy rendering them useless unless you take em apart and fully de-grease them in a soapy water bath then hand dry them after a rinse. Doing that reverts the lot back to usable (as in they will function) but with more rattle

However, both shift keys and the escape key have broken due to the mounting post in the key cap splitting. This makes the key wobble slightly and then soon after, break off. Logitech has been unhelpful in sending new keycaps. They insist that I must RMA the whole keyboard

The Romer-G keycaps are also bad shapewise and uncomfortable. But, I would say that if you don't care about the brand, get a Glorious GMMK. Even better, get the barebones edition for it; if it's available in your region. It's hot-swappable and compatible with many keycap sets, so you can get the exact key feel that you want to get

Let me be clear here on this most important part, this thing is silky smooth in regards to key action, I love the feel of this keyboard. The back lighting on this keyboard while being only cold white is very bright, I actually keep it running a setting or two below brightest and it is still plenty bright. Nice to know the extra brightness is there should I need it. I also like that I can control the WASD and arrow keys brightness separably, I did not think much of this feature on paper but in practice I find it moderately useful in FPS games

The overall typing experience of my Kailh Speed Silver and PBT keycaps build was quite good. I was surprised by how well everything fit together, resulting in a light and rattle-free touch-typing experience that’s made all the more impressive considering the GMMK Pro isn’t pre-assembled. While I wouldn’t say that it’s the best feeling keyboard I’ve used out of the box, the GMMK Pro is definitely up there.

The net effect on my chassis USB ports is neutral. But the more I think about this, and as I am writing this review, I believe I will be sending this KB back to Amazon. I'll go back to the old DECK board until I can find a Cherry Brown KB with media keys, proper placement of the symbols, more even illumination and a better, more legible key font. For the price of this board, and despite its MOST excellent feel, it just doesn't make the grade

Time to get more custom...and along came the highly-popular GMMK Pro, mostly because I couldn't find a reasonable 100% and I wanted a rotary encoder

It's also nice that the WASD keys can be adjusted separately. 4) I have 3 different macro profiles and I can record each macro via a macro record button without having to use the software (even though it's great). This would be handy if you are using some unexpected keystrokes a lot and want to program them into a macro real quick, rather than open the software (also great for a quick excel macro rather than programming it into VBA or recording it via excel). So I give this 4 out of 5, not because it isn't good; I definitely like it waaaay more than I don't

So what i need is more SMOOTH and less heavy switches! also i want them to be accessible in the market and not overpriced

Got really tired of my Logitech G710+ due to how bulky it was. Came into this sub and looked things up.

I think the price is totally worth it! I did end up buying the durock v2 stabilizers here on Amazon and I think that upgrade is a must before you assemble your board. The stock stabilizers were over lubed and just not great. I had no fitment issues putting in the durock v2s. Honestly for the price, just get those so you don't have to disassemble your whole bored again later

Do I think it's worth the $100 price? Nah. Honestly, I have not found it superior to even Comfort Curve 3000 which is a fifth of the price, and for the next keyboard I buy, if I had to choose between those two, I'd prefer the Comfort Curve to this even if they were the same price. If you just need a new keyboard, get at least a Comfort Curve, or look for something better. If you're really dying for a mechanical keyboard, IMO keep looking

The replacement is exactly the same as the first and has the same issue, so that’s going to need some reworking on their side.. I think injection mold...

MAJOR oversight I think, as a few simple light pipes in the design would have fixed it too for about 5 cents extra a keyboard, and from my experience with the board thus far and other reviews, that is one of the major CONS of this board. With that said, I don't really have much trouble with the screen light washing over the board and the faint silhouette of the symbols from the keyboard lights (plus I have been typing for a very long time, so really it's kind of something I just know what numbers correspond to what symbols on a standard US keyboard). So the wrap up this epic I've written ;) the board is definitely a nice upgrade from most other boards if you need a keyboard for more than your productivity software, and only really has some minor drawbacks for me at least. I would have expected a few things more for this price-point ($115) such as fixing the lighting of the symbols
