music is fine as long as you cut it out in sound test, etc you already know this basically with music, it's either pleasant for your viewers that shared your taste (jazz, chill music, etc) or it can alienate them (I'm the former camp) tdlr i like your other videos with background music (although i prefer a shorter monologue in the beginning)

Great video, I may jump for the Zip-And-Fit liner and replace the foam. I also noticed that the anodization is really thin/light on the case. When I was screwing and unscrewing the case, my screwdriver (its hexagonal) was lightly rubbing against the case and the black anodization was scratched off. The thing was that I didn't even notice any resistance or scraping of my screwdriver and case itself, the color scuffs were pretty apparent but I was able to band-aid fix it with a black sharpie.

Nice review! My only question I have - and this goes for most linear users - is why do you all prefer linears, but still like the loud clacky noise that comes from the switch/keycap? It's not AS annoying as a clicky switch, but it's damn near close.

[@Keybored]

Hi Maximum Effort! I don't find clicky that annoying actually. I still love the feel of the jades and navies :) I do love linears tho because I feel like they're the most "pure." What I mean by that is that there is nothing in between my keystroke and the keyboard, and I really enjoy that feel. It also highlights all sorts of problems like ping, scratch, etc. more, but I think that's what I like about the additional challenge to perfecting the linear switch. I may just be weird, but at the end of the day, it's always all about preference!

Prefer the look of the classic all black version and the sound of the silver version. Did you remove the plate foam as I have heard that it makes the switches sound better? Also do you prefer the typing experience and sound over your Tofu65?

[@Keybored]

Hi Lee! I really love how the black one turned out! Especially with the pink accents, it adds just enough detail to an otherwise more professional look. I did not remove the foam, but if you do, it does "open up" the sound slightly. I tried it initially to test, and was too lazy to remove everything to take it out lol. But I've been playing around with this case, and when I figure out a good combo of things to improve the sound, I'll make a video! As it stands now, I prefer my tofu over this for typing and sound...

Hi Grapechowder! I would say the Zip-n-fit liner is much more versatile. I noticed that the noico deadener is really good in certain situations, and a bit less effective in others. It's really good in removing hollow sound, adding weight and making the keyboard sound more "dense." But it isn't as effective in removing ping or reverb as well as the zip-n-fit.

@@Keybored it’s still an awesome board, excited to get mine since I’ve been a 40-65% person for a long time and it’s been years since I used anything larger! Yours came out looking sharp, I’m probably gonna throw on SA laser whenever they arrives, should look nice with the silv- oops, I meant “white” case :p

[@BrickTechCentral]

Are those gmk wob keycaps abs or pbt?

[@user-kz9rz8ui1c]

All gmk is abs. There's no exception that I know of.

[@Keybored]

Doubleshot ABS!

[@justanotherpxrson]

okay... i would consider myself a keyboard enthusiast (even though im into the budget side and modding prebuilts), but am i the only one who thinks nylon housing cherry switches have a very unique sound? even on that corsair board they sound unique, and not terrible either. obviously not the best but still... edit: can i get a link to that zip n fit stuff? cant find it on amazon.

[@colinhendry6116]

Agreed! And I believe Glarses has said something to this extent too, that cherry switches do have a unique clack to the housing. Personally I love it, but haven’t gotten around to frankenswitching. Edit: It’s a Target branded shelf-liner (the zip-n-fit)

[@Keybored]

They do! Many people take the housings off the cherry (myself included) and do frankenswitches with them :) the zip n fit is from target!

Great review

[@Keybored]

Thank you barnabus! Thank you for watching!

[@mushy4034]

What does the default one sound like

[@Keybored]

The default one sound a bit hollow even with the included stick foam. In my opinion the gmmk pro is a great keyboard for the price, but acoustically, it can be better. I'm tinkering around with it to see what I can do... I think the gasket provided are pretty bad... I have some ideas and will see if they work out! If so, expect some videos to come out soon!

Thanks! Very helpful

Glad it was helpful!

what’s the model of the logitech mouse you are using?

[@Keybored]

Hi quack! The mouse is the Logitech G305!

[@hollowsmart]

How did you lube your U4t’s?

[@Keybored]

Hi hollowSmart! I lubed them with Krytox 204 and filmed with 1.25mm tx films

11:16 the sticky keys alert lmaooo

[@Keybored]

Haha yup!

[@nadtz]

Can't lie, if there was a TKL version of this I might have splurged and broken my rule about how much to spend on a keyboard. Just can't get used to the 83 layout but I'm looking at the non pro since there is a TKL version of that one. Suppose I should wait and build the Epommaker GK87 I have on the way first, maybe my kb hunting will be sated for a while with that one.

[@Keybored]

I hope more manufacturers work to bring out nicer keyboards that are easier to access!

[@nadtz]

@@Keybored yeah, there are a ton of less expensive options but if you want something a little nicer the price goes up by $100 at the least. I have a gk 87 on the way and by the time I've added switches caps and a nicer cable it's almost $200. And thats with being frugal. Hopefully this will scratch my kb itch for a while though, I have other rabbit holes to throw money at!

O_O your keyboard tower gives *anxiety* haha

:) especially when it's on top of the desk!

how many gmmk pro do you have??? hahaha. cool video! :)

[@Keybored]

Haha I had 4 at one point but 2 weren't mine. I gifted the silver one so I'm down to 1 now! Black one is my favorite!

what keycap accents are those?

Hi Joon! The pink ones are GMK eraser pink and the yellow ones are from GMK godspeed!

The Hennessey caps really complete the look :)

[@syygnis]

if i'm being completely honest watching back to back the completely stock GMMK pro vs your finalised modded ones, Its hard to tell the difference. I usually can on videos similiar to this but wtf ahahaha

[@Keybored]

Lol. Check out the GMMK Pro modding video! That one will be much better. GMMK pros without the drastic mods all sound the same lol
