Works really wells smooth keys very cool color design options when lit up

Not worth the price. The connection constantly drops, and the app is terrible to navigate. I often have to unplug and replug the USB just to reconnect, and the lighting doesn’t sync at all. Overall, a frustrating experience and a disappointing purchase. And now I cant even get a support or return anymore, waste of money!

These were not compatible with my MacBook wirelessly that's the only reason I will give it a 3 star

Good keyboard, had issues with the lighting going in and out

Glorious-ly not worth even $5. Had it setup and synced to a brand new system. Configured it for high polling and 0 ms latency. 80% of the time the keys simply did not register a keystroke. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Used both the 2.4ghz usb receiver and bluetooth to no avail. Couldn't wake up from sleep half of the time while plugged in and fully charged. Far better off spending 1/10th of the price and going with a Logitech.

Much better optionsvat this price... wooting, keychron, etc

The Glorious GMMK 3 PRO HE is a wireless mechanical keyboard with a twist - key actuation isn't from normal switches but hall effect sensors. These work by detecting the change in magnetic field caused by a magnet or some other object capable of disrupting a magnetic field. The general use cases are for non-contact sensing and in keyboards, I think the big advantage is that it helps avoid wear on switches and provides consistent behavior even in the presence of wear of the physical parts or build up of debris. Theoretically, you could make a key act like an analog joystick and have different behavior depending on how far down you press the key. With this review, we'll look to see whether in some typical PC and gaming use cases, how this keyboard performs and whether there's a tangible advantage to be had. Unboxing, the first thing you notice is the weight of the keyboard. It's surprising because the keyboard is compact - a 75% keyboard. My first thought was that it's packing a lot of battery. However, the box claims 58 hours on battery with Bluetooth and while that's impressive, it's also not that different from some other wireless mechanical keyboard (so also with RGB lighting) which weigh in closer to 2lbs than 3.5lbs. So what gives? It seems to be the housing design and padding. Unlike some keyboards that seem to use flip out legs to give the keyboard a sloped shape, the entire keyboard housing is like this. And it's also taller than other keyboards in part because of what I'd find when I started using it - it is packing some sound insulation material and pretty robust. Typically, one would be changing switch type if sound was an issue (assuming you were fine with the change to actuation point as well). Looks wise. . .its not necessarily my cup of tea. It's got a mix of chrome and white going on that together with the RGB lighting just seem to conflict. I think I'm definitely more on either the all black keyboard side with lighting or all white with much more subtle lighting effects going on. Instead, the GMMK 3 PRO HE is a bit in your face with all of it. One thing to note, despite being hall effect or maybe I should say, having hall effect detection, these are still true mechanical switches. The keyboard can have the keys swapped out for ones compatible with Glorious' hall effect sensing or just normal MX switches. That can be good for someone making the transition but who has also already invested in some backups. The question becomes whether one would be fine swapping to the non HE switches in the event of something happen? Feature wise, you’ve got both Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz compatibility, USB-C charging, and a customizable button/dial. So you can both rotate it and press it. The dial press requires some force making use of it much more intentional than a keypress. The pre-release software for the GMMK 3 PRO HE was pretty straightforward to use. The only gotcha might be if you’ve not previously used Glorious keyboards/software, to keep an eye on whether you’re making a global edit or a per-key edit. I goofed that a few times. One of my usual tests with new keyboards is my typing speed and accuracy with typing tutor. I do try to vary the prompts so I’m not testing my memory of it, but I’ve found that gross banding on results and my feel when typing through the test tell me a lot. With the GMMK 3 PRO HE, my results were in line with other keyboards I’ve liked, can reliably hit 80-85 WPM with peaks in 90. I’ve accepted that 100 is out of reach without significant practice and commitment to a particular keyboard setup. The keyboard felt comfortable with just the right amount of feedback. I got some variation by playing around in the software with the point at which a keypress is registered or the key reset, but while some settings made things demonstrably worse, I didn’t really find something that felt like it was consistently better. Some changes seemed to do well, but a follow up testing round would be back around my average results for speed and accuracy. Gaming, I focused on Doom (2016) and CS2. Both of these involve cases where I’m normally cycling through things - primarily weapons so I felt could be an interesting way to customize actions based on the actuation point of a keypress. Essentially, bind a particular action, for example selecting smoke grenade vs flashbang, vs he vs incendiary, to how far down I’d pressed a key. Normal play in the games went fine with the keyboard. I didn’t experience anything special. Again, I tried tweaking just the keypress actuation point and enabling rapid trigger, and while it did seem to give me some additional burst fire capability, and certainly felt cool and new, the performance improvement seemed small. I think these features might give an edge to elite players though reducing lag would probably still have a much better impact for my gameplay than anything else. Mapping 4 actions to different actuation points on the same key was interesting. It definitely worked but in some ways slowed me down. I needed to be really intentional about where I stopped. It definitely makes the key feel more analog-like but I think requires significant muscle memory before it could be useful. After my sessions, I started to feel this could be more impactful in a platform scroller or RPG though maybe only in scenarios where one could confirm a choice. Swapping weapons, it’s not really an issue if you temporarily stop on an unintended one. But if this was used to trigger locking in a selection or actuating one of several weapons, having the muscle memory dialed in would really be key (no pun intended). In summary, this was a good mechanical keyboard though I’m not sure the hall effect sensing gave it that much of an edge over my other keyboards. Ignoring the looks, it’s well designed, sturdy, though perhaps a bit weighty. The HE functionality certainly shows promise and isn’t a gimmick but I think it really requires more time to find a use case where this shines or adapt to the keyboard enough where it shines, than in the period of time covered by this review.

I didnt research like i shluld have because i fell in love with its all aluminum frame and so on - Glorious is fully aware in reddit forums of how this keyboard has terrible lag to nearly unresponsive no matter what you do from being plugged in or bluetooth or usb 2.4. It simply works only at random . This is the third keyboard ive purchased and theyve all been the same which is why theyre is ALWAYS open box options

Overpriced and barely works. I had to return it because it was randomly missing keypresses. Also, because the switches don't have any friction holding them to the pcb (because they're hall effect), it sounded absolutely terrible out of the box. I ended up replacing it for the Razer Blackwidow v4 Pro 75% and changed the keycaps on those and I'm extremely happy.

great keyboard when it worked, software was a bit confusing. after 5 it stopped working, not just in wireless, it wont even work at all, had to return

I have owned various gaming keyboards over the years from the likes of Corsair, Logitech, and Asus. I will be the first to admit I was not familiar with Glorious before this keyboard. The new GMMK 3 Pro is unlike any keyboard I have used before. First, it is built like a tank. When I pulled it out of the box my very first thought was that it could be used in home defense if it didn't work out as a keyboard. It is solid and heavy. Make no mistake it screams premium. The standout feature for the GMMK 3 Pro is the use of Hall-effect magnetic switches. Without getting overly technical they allow for sensitivity adjustability and feel super satisfying to use. There are other premium pro gamer brands out there that use Hall-effect sensors as well so Glorious is actually coming in later to the party. They feel wonderful to type on and the software allows for key travel switching adjustment so you can make the register as deep or as shallow as you want. Depending on how you game this can be a life changer. I am no pro gamer so I didn't quite get the same level of wow from that feature as more serious gamers probably would, but for the gaming I do it is a spectacular wired/wireless keyboard. The only real knock I have against it is the software. The lighting adjustments and ease of use leave a lot to be desired. When you compare it against the large brands it has a certain amateur feel. I think further development will help, but for now the software is kind of a pain to use for lighting adjustments especially. So, I have it set at the default lighting pattern and am very satisfied with it. I did run into a situation where I couldn't figure out why the lights on the side kept flashing out of time with the rest of the keyboard. I scoured through the software and couldn't figure out what was going on. Turns out it was the caps lock being engaged. I have to admit that is a pretty strange feature, but at least now I know. Overall, I love the keyboard. I am just hoping that Glorious continues to improve the software.

Glorious, which has been making accessible customizable keyboards for several years, recently has become far more mainstream with their offerings. The company has just released the latest platform, the GMMK 3, and with it, the PRO series has been updated to at long last. The new top of the line entry, the PRO HE Wireless, incorporates many features that gamers have been asking for – Hall effect keys, and high performance wireless. Does this keyboard live up to the hype? Lets take a look. In the (fully recyclable) box you will find the keyboard, a keycap and key puller, some documentation, requisite stickers, a braided (but not coiled) cable, a screwdriver, some spare parts, the wireless dongle, and samples of the other styles of hall effect keys. This one comes with all linear keys but since it is fully modular, you can change it to your liking. Pulling the keyboard out of the box, you are immediately stuck with just how much of a unit this thing is. It’s HEAVY, coming in at a little over 3 and a half pounds. It won’t go anywhere unless you really want it to. The keys are buttery smooth with a nice typing sound. Coming from a different brand of mechanical keyboard, this thing is solid, with no metallic ping or resonance at all. Just the sound of the keys actuating. As this is wireless, it has an extra light at the top in the badge to show the battery status and paring state, as well as control knob. This thing is loaded with first time features for Glorious. First of all, it has wireless. It can be set to a blistering polling rate of 8,000hz when connected to a wire and a 2ms response time, wireless is more limited but still quite fast. It also supports Bluetooth if you can’t use the dongle or want to pair to a non-gaming device near by! The real star of the show though are the hall effect keys. No physical electrical or optical switches here, Glorious went all out with contactless magnets! Having hall effect keys means that the keyboard knows where each key is as it moves through the keystroke, so you can set your actuation point of where the key registers a press, or even do some crazy things like have the keys change functions as they move through the keystroke and are released. Some functions, like actuation point, can be configured either globally or per key, while others, such as multiple functions, are configured for each key. This keyboard is a tinkerer’s dream, with essentially limitless options to tweak both the physical and logical behavior of the keyboard. The keyboard also has extensive customizable lighting options. Several functions are built in presets, as well as per key custom lighting if you so desire. Multiple profiles for lighting and key behavior can be loaded using the Core app so they are ready to go based on what you are doing, be it productivity or gaming. With all of these options this keyboard is a great option for gamers, tinkerers, or those who appreciate a quality typing experience. It is an expensive, premium option loaded with features and high quality keys, and is recommended if you want one of the best prebuilt custom keyboards around.

I was immediately astonished by how hefty the Glorious GMMK 3 Pro HE 75% wireless keyboard felt, even before unboxing it. You know that feeling when you can tell something is well-made just by its weight? That’s exactly what I got with this keyboard. After unboxing, it became crystal clear that this wasn’t just a run-of-the-mill keyboard. The entire construction is machined aluminum, giving it a premium look and feel that’s built to last. This is the kind of build quality you just don’t see every day. The design is just as impressive as the build. The silver and white finish is absolutely beautiful, and the double-shot GPBT keycaps feel incredibly premium. Everything about this keyboard exudes quality, from the materials used to the thoughtful design elements. Connecting the keyboard was effortless. It connects seamlessly via a wireless 2.4GHz USB dongle or Bluetooth, whichever you prefer. For those who like a wired connection, it also comes with a matching white braided USB-C to USB-C cable, which not only looks great but performs flawlessly. In the box, they’ve included some thoughtful extras: four sample HE switches, extra screws, o-rings, a screwdriver, a switch puller, and a keycap puller. This makes full customization of the keyboard simple to get started with, and it’s clear that Glorious wants you to have everything you need right out of the box. Once connected, the keyboard lights up beautifully with RGB lighting, not just on the keys but also with an LED strip along the sides. The typing experience is simply lovely. The keys have the perfect amount of travel and response, making typing or gaming a pleasure. The sound is also pleasing, with a somewhat dampened mechanical clicking sound that’s satisfying without being obnoxious. However, I have to mention that the spacebar sounds a little hollow, which I found somewhat disappointing. I actually don’t like the sound of the spacebar at all and will definitely be looking for a solution to fix that. The available software, while still under development for full customization, already offers plenty of options for personalizing the lighting effects, key bindings, and key actuations. I don’t intend to make many changes to the key bindings since the keyboard is beautifully mastered as is, but I’m excited to try out different switches for a more crisp or tactile feel. The Raptor HE and Panda HE switch samples included are particularly impressive, and I’m eager to experiment further. Overall, the Glorious GMMK 3 Pro HE keyboard is a stunning piece of tech. It’s beautifully built, with boundless possibilities for personalization and customization. While I’m not entirely thrilled with the spacebar, everything else about this keyboard is top-notch, making it a worthy addition to any serious setup.

The Glorious GMMK 3 PRO HE is an absolute powerhouse of a keyboard. During my time using it, several standout features have caught my attention. While comfort and style are subjective, this keyboard offers customization options that cater to any preference. Gamers can be particular about their peripherals, and this is especially true for those who both game and work on their computers, like me. A good keyboard is essential. From the moment I unboxed the GMMK 3 PRO HE, it felt like a premium product. Browsing the Glorious product page revealed even more possibilities for customization. The keyboard comes equipped with everything you need to start, including tools for swapping keys and other customizable parts. Glorious offers a variety of options to tailor the keyboard to your liking. For gaming, it’s hard to imagine a better keyboard. You can customize it with clicky keys, different colors for WASD, and other keys commonly used in games. The keyboard can be used wired for the most reliable connection. Its substantial weight provides incredible stability, making it feel as solid as a small kettlebell—a testament to its quality. For office or WFH use, the keyboard is more than adequate. The typing experience and stability are exceptional. The only downside is its 75% layout. Since I frequently use number pads for Excel, I had to use a separate number pad. However, the keyboard’s quality makes this a minor inconvenience. Overall, if you’re looking for top-tier quality, stability, and customization, this keyboard excels in all three areas. If you need a keyboard solely for office work, you might prefer a 100% layout. But for those who game and work, this is a top-tier choice, offering a high-quality blank canvas to create your perfect keyboard.

Very well made and i have yet to have any issues. Very great customization too in the future.

Keyboard is solid, can sound better for the price. I feel that it should be priced near the q1 he from keychron

It's definitely not going anywhere if you like to really pound on the keys.

Great keyboard detachable wire so it won’t rip up and when it does u can replace it, swappable keys and switches, their website has a lot of customizable caps and buttons!

Be prepared for keys not to work from time to time. Not reliable. Battery life is terrible as well. Going to return. Beautiful unit but battery and unreliability is a big issue.
