Glorious GMMK 3 Review – Extreme Customizable Mechanical Keyboard – Chapter 1

Mark Glorious is no stranger to the field of computer peripherals and mechanical keyboards. The gripping story that began with random experimentation with the creation of an XXL pad in 2014, when Shazim Mohammad first tried to enter the leather market entrepreneurially based on a post on Reddit, has reached its current state, when Glorious invites journalists from all corners of the world to the announcement and presentation of new products in the portfolio of mechanical keyboards designed not only for gamers, but anyone with a tendency to pound away at the computer with heaps of written text. And we had the opportunity to be right there in Copenhagen. Everything is finally out and we can share with you the burst of news that Glorious has just launched (older Glorious game accessories, including accessories, can also be bought on Alza).

A billion keyboards in one – customization in the spotlight

Get to know each other! This is it Glorious GMMK 3or – as the manufacturer likes to say – a billion keyboards in one and the largest portfolio of models launched in one campaign. Why and how can so many products be hidden under one name GMMK 3? Glorious claims that based on studies conducted by its product specialists, customization is important to 85% of gamers and keyboard enthusiasts, and more than 50% of them routinely trade in standard keyboard models. This is the market where the brand is now heading. And now he brings not only a new product to it, but above all absolutely comprehensive Boardsmith online configuratorin which you can build a keyboard completely according to your wishes. The scale at which you can configure your own models under one roof attracts all the attention.

Glorious GMMK 3 in the configurator exactly according to your wishes

The fact that enthusiasts build their own models of mechanical keyboards from scratch is probably not surprising to anyone. Sure – it’s still a bit of a fringe extreme for peripheral lovers, but trends from here are transferred over the years to the portfolios of mainstream manufacturers. But it is a relatively expensive hobby and often associated with connecting components from many sources with limited or more complex availability of components and often problematic logistics. Glorious now brings to the market a solution under one roof that allows you to create GMMK 3 exactly according to your imagination on a huge scale in the online configurator.

In Copenhagen, we had the opportunity to see countless designs on site, including the use of different materials for sub-components, and I have to say that I was really impressed. Finally, see for yourself in the photos. What can be configured, selected and swapped? There is really a lot to it and we will discuss it all in the next chapter.
