Glorious - GMBK 75% Wired Membrane Gaming Keyboard with Swappable MX-Compatible Keycaps - Black

This is the first product I have owned from Glorious Gaming. I will say, the keyboard is really nice. The keys have a smooth feel and a fast response time when pressed, with VERY little lag in-game. This is a wired keyboard, just in case you were wondering. But I must say, it is one of the best keyboards I have ever owned. All lighting and performance controls are handled through an app you can download from their website, taking your gaming experience to another level. On this keyboard, you can set the polling rate from 125Hz to 1000Hz and adjust the input latency from as low as 2ms to as high as 16ms! This really unlocks the full power of this small but mighty keyboard! With that said, I hope you have found this review to be insightful and informative when making your next keyboard or gaming-product purchase. Have a wonderful day, and I’ll see you on Summoner’s Rift!

Sounds nice low and thonky the rgb is great and it hold up well had it for a minute

I’ve been looking for a small-ish keyboard to connect to my gaming tablet for some time, and the Glorious GMBK has met my needs. It is compact, easy to stow and lightweight yet very durable feeling. The keys are very tactile and responsive when typing. I honestly really like the feel of the keys. They have a very nice and satisfying thud and click. It did take me a day or two to get used to the layout of this keyboard. Even though I’m the keyboard is quite large (when compared to the keyboard my tablet came with). I found myself striking the wrong keys when typing for a few hours. Of course, muscle memory will do its thing and you’ll be fine after some use. The RGB lighting on the keyboard is a nice touch, a bit boujie haha, but looks cool when gaming. The volume knob on the top right is also a nice touch, it made adjusting volume quick, and easy. The keyboard is plug and play, I didn’t have to install any drivers or software to get it going. Windows atomically recognized it and worked perfect. Glorious includes a tool to remove the keys for swapping and customization. This kit did not come with swappable keys, but it seems they are available for purchase from them. I feel like this keyboard is so affordable, that you might be better off just buying another if something happens to yours, or if you want a different look. All in all, I think this keyboard is an excellent value and perfect for gaming and typing. Especially if you have limited space on your desk. The keyboard looks and feels quite premium.

So yes, desk space is always an issue. A 75% keyboard helps to maximize desk space. This keyboard has 80 keys. It’s customizable for any gamer out there. The lighting on this keyboard is super cool. It has a 10 zone RGB lighting system. The options for lights is almost endless and really adds to the gaming experience. The keyboard itself is IP57 waterproof to protect it from the spills that may happen during an intense RPG or Shooter game. It is also dust resistant so it helps to keep the major crumbs off the keyboard. The rotary knob is good to the feel and is programmable. The keyboard is able to be used with consoles, Chrome, macOS, and Windows units. Very flexible in terms of its usage. The included software called Glorius CORE only works with WinOS only. I love the fact that the included USB-C cable plugs into the back of the keyboard in the very center. This allows you to place it almost anywhere on your desk or lap. I was able to test the included keycap puller and pulling keys was easy to do, so those who want to add custom keys can do so. The stems are MX-Style compatible. Now the most important thing…the feel of the keyboard. It feels great. The keys are responsive. To me they are heavy but soft. Very responsive keys. I had zero issues pressing keys during many hours of hard gaming. It never missed a beat. Combine all the features this 75% keyboard offers, and it’s simply a winner. Highly recommended.

Verdict: The Glorious GMBK 75% Gaming Keyboard is a great and affordable option for gaming, typing, and style. If you need a small footprint keyboard, this one is great! First impressions. The box includes the keyboard, a USB-A to USB-C cable, a key removal took, an extra key, stickers, and a manual. While smaller, this keyboard has a nice weight to it. It has a plastic frame and popup feet towards the bottom back of the keyboard – with two height levels… nice!! Design. This keyboard has a few fantastic design features that are not on my primary gaming keyboard. The secondary functions are lighted, for example “@” or “%” are visible in the dark, making password input in the dark possible. The functions of the F keys are also visible at a perfect angle, and lighted. The volume knob is very convenient and perfectly located. I love that the keyboard cable is a standard USB-C so it's easy to swap with other devices, and the cable is easily replaceable. Swappable keys are nice to have, but not something I had previously wished to have. The included tool makes removing keys very easy… actually way better than I expected; I may actually consider keys customization now. Fade-resistant keys are also a great feature. Typing. Some people like low action keyboards, and other people like mechanical high-action keyboards. This is more on the high-action, clickity keyboard side of the spectrum. It’s not quiet… it sounds more like productivity. It’s comfortable, perhaps slightly on the stiff side of action; I love it, but it’s probably not for everyone. I find it very enjoyable for typing. Performance. This is a great keyboard for gaming; the keys are responsive and decisive. No complaints. The volume knob is convenient for in-game adjustments. The 75% size means you don’t get extra programable keys, but it’s really great for just what you need, plus mouse. Things I love. - Great action on keys, for both typing and gaming. Super responsive - Ability to control 10 RGB zones for endless color customization through the app - Swappable keys with any MX-stem keycaps; a nice-to-have feature and very easy to use - IP57 (water and dust resistant) rating is GREAT! I have spilled things on my keyboards so many times over the years, and once on a pricey gaming keyboard (it was never the same after that) - The cable is fully removable, so you can swap in other USB-C keyboards - The light on the keys turn off after a few minutes to save power and avoid light nuisance - The secondary functions are also lighted, for example “@” or “%” are visible in the dark, making password input in the dark possible. This is not the case on my other gaming keyboard - The functions of the F keys are also visible at a perfect angle, and lighted. Very nice idea - The volume knob is incredibly convenient and perfectly located - Affordable price for a full-feature gaming keyboard - 2-year warranty Things I don’t love. - It’s not a quiet keyboard. Of note, I LOVE mechanical keyboards for the action and clickity noise, so I am not complaining here; making this comment because this keyboard may not be for everyone. And, it’s actually slightly louder than my primary full-size gaming keyboard (also a high-action clickity keyboard) - Small format and location of the arrow keys takes a little bit of time to get used to, especially for regular typing. The 75% size is convenient because of where I want to use it, but if I had the space, I would opt for a full-size keyboard for increased functionality for other applications Overall, the Glorious GMBK keyboard is a great option for a 75% size gaming keyboard. It looks great, performs well, and offers very convenient features, all at an affordable price.
