bro, the marketing that glorious did initially, is the middl ground between entry level and enthusiasts. So if you compare the sound of it in this video with some true good board, you will instantly know what is the difference, the sound in this vid sounds hollow af.
@Toneychaplin3 жыл бұрын
The way they marketed this keyboard they made it seem like this was a luxury/enthusiast keyboard. GOAT stabilizers? I think they should have been honest instead of making this seem like a top tier board. Also the white is silver. That just seems kinda messed up if you don’t know it’s actually silver.

@@Yasha1996 they're not "useless." The board definitely doesn't feel as harsh as a regular sandwich mount. The gaskets are still isolating some case vibration. Which is what gaskets were meant to do. They just dont make the board flex, which is just an extra feature people have come to associate with gasket mounted boards for some reason--which also works better with soldered pcbs because hotswap pcbs that flex a lot are just asking for sockets to pop out. And the target demographic isnt very likely to be able to solder them back in.

I love my GMMK Pro, but I don't know if I would call it a 'budget' keyboard. If I swapped the GMK keycaps I will be using on the KB with a $40 set, my build comes out to about $320 ($416 with the GMK's). [GMMK Pro, polycarbonate plate, Alpacas, 205g0 lube, switch films, $40 keycaps, Durock v2's, stab pads]. In comparison, I just ordered a KBD67 Lite r2 I'll use at work which will end up being much closer to a 'budget' build at $227 with the same parts (assuming I also use the $40 keycap set) Not saying the GMMK Pro isn't a lot cheaper than the more premium custom boards, but for the $170 just for the keyboard alone I think puts it outside of the 'budget' custom KB range considering the options there are for around $100 now.

the GMMK pro is essentially a gaming keyboard that's walking towards enthusiast quality, which is great in general as it pursues higher quality and features that make it a better board, aswell as it's reach making it rather user friendly and more mass appealing towards people that generally would often preffer an average gaming board. so it's going to be a helpful tool in bringing new people into the hobby however there's "other" people that believe that because it aims to be an enthusiast board, but it isnt the best of the best, its just dismissed as another failed attempt at such, thus not given a chance because its not as good as some 500+$ board. really similar to the "my 2000$ pc beats a 500$ console, look at me im so great"

It certainly doesn't help though that Glorious's marketing make the components of the board sound like they are top of the line/better than the others in the market. I mean come on, 'Greatest of All Time' stabilizers? FWIW, I wanted to get this board in the beginning as it seemed like the perfect board for my wants and needs, but unfortunately it just doesn't seem as well executed overall as I'd hoped it would be. They have a lot of the features you'd want in a good board, they just need to implement the individual components better. I'm hoping their next revision of this board will be better.
