Why Glorious

Parts You Can Change Your Mind About

Nine Swappable Points

The GMMK 3 platform breaks a keyboard into nine parts you can order or replace separately: case, plate, gaskets, switches, keycaps, knob, cable and more. Buy a plate in aluminium, brass, polycarbonate or FR4 and the same board sounds and feels different.

Magnetic Actuation, Set by You

GMMK 3 HE boards read key travel with a magnetic sensor instead of a metal contact, so the actuation point is a setting rather than a fixed depth. Anywhere from 0.1mm to 4.0mm, at up to 8,000Hz polling, with rapid trigger resetting the key the instant you start lifting.

Materials Above the Class

CNC aluminium top and bottom cases, gasket-mounted plates, dye-sublimated PBT legends that will not shine off, and optical mouse switches rated to 100 million clicks. These are custom-keyboard specifications sold as an off-the-shelf board.

The Difference

What Sets Glorious Apart

No Soldering Iron Required

Every GMMK board takes switches on sockets. Pull with the supplied puller, align the two pins, press home. The GMMK 3 HE goes further and accepts both MX mechanical and magnetic switches in the same socket, so you can test one against the other on a single board.

Sub-60g Wireless Mice

The Model O 2 PRO lands at 59g and the ergonomic Model D 2 PRO at 62g, both on the 26,000 DPI BAMF 2.0 sensor rated to 650 IPS. Model I keeps the extra thumb buttons for MMO and MOBA players who need them bound.

Four In-House Switch Families

Fox is the pre-lubed 45g linear that ships as standard. Lynx is the lighter linear, Panda the tactile built on the Holy Panda mould at roughly 67g, and Raptor the clicky option. Fox, Panda and Raptor also exist as magnetic versions for the HE boards.

Boardsmith Configurator

Glorious will hand-assemble a board to your spec: layout, case finish, plate material, gasket firmness, switches, keycaps and knob, rendered live as you choose. Order it built, or take the barebones kit and finish it yourself.

How to Choose Your First Glorious Board

Glorious built its reputation on two ideas: a perforated ultralight mouse shape that defined the sub-70g category, and a keyboard sold as parts rather than a sealed appliance. The company dropped the longer PC Gaming Race name and now trades simply as Glorious, but the modular thinking is unchanged. A board bought today can be running different switches, a different plate and a different keycap profile in a year without a new purchase.

A prebuilt arrives working, with switches and keycaps already fitted and lubed. A barebones kit gives you the case, plate and PCB only, and expects you to supply the rest. Kits cost less up front but need roughly 70 to 110 switches plus a keycap set before they type, so budget for the whole stack rather than the headline part.

A 65% drops the function row and the numpad, freeing desk width for low-sensitivity mouse sweeps. The 75% keeps the function row in a compressed block and, on GMMK Pro, adds the rotary knob. Full-size and 96% layouts keep the numpad, which matters for spreadsheets and CAD entry far more than for gaming.

Aluminium plates are stiff and bright; polycarbonate flexes and softens the impact; FR4 and brass sit between them, brass adding weight and a deeper tone. Gasket blocks then set how much the whole assembly is allowed to move. These two choices change the typing feel more than the switch does, which is why Boardsmith exposes both.

The GMMK 3 Pro adds Bluetooth 5.2 and a 2.4GHz receiver alongside USB-C, while the standard GMMK 3 and GMMK 2 are wired only. Wireless costs you nothing in feel but does add a battery to manage, and the highest polling rates on the HE and PRO hardware are wired modes.

GMMK 2 and the GMMK 3 family are configured through Glorious Core, which handles remapping, lighting, actuation depth and rapid trigger. The GMMK Pro is the one board in the line that also accepts QMK and VIA firmware, so if you want layers flashed to the board itself rather than held in an application, that is the model to look at.

That flexibility only helps if the first decision is right. Layout size and case material are the two things you cannot change later without buying another chassis; switches, keycaps, gaskets and cables are all reversible. Work outward from the physical footprint your desk allows and the keys you genuinely use, then treat everything else as a preference you are allowed to get wrong once.
