GMMK Numpad - What is Glorious Doing?

[@Dev-hv4pt]

Glorious seems to be taking the OnePlus route albeit for different external factors. The end result is the same though, a scrappy upstart providing insane value but then living long enough to see itself become the villain.

[@user-kz9rz8ui1c]

Oneplus at least stays at a price and quality somewhat comparable to the top brands. Glorious right now is stupidly scummy and almost feels like they are trying to exit scam, tbh.

[@bentokeebs]

Damnn thats a good comparison lmao

[@NextDoorGuy]

Glorious looks even worse than Oneplus right now, since new Oneplus phones are still good and competitive just not as affordable as their OG phones were. Glorious seems to sell mediocre products at weird prices and as BST said, they "get" you in the customisation. If I wanted to customise my model D as I wanted, I'd have to spend as much $$ as the mouse itself was (Incl. shipping)

[@anthonyflynn2662]

@@user-kz9rz8ui1c 1+ was (repeat!) "was" a budget brand before they had to try fight the samsung/apple phones its only been in last few year (3-4 phones) 1+ has had to push there price's GMMK are just robbing the masses trying to be "premium

[@YuProducciones]

Dev, that a dam right comparison

[@jeffreystangojr]

I've had some personal issues with Glorious as well. I hold a Marketing Degree and decided back in January that I would apply for a Copywriter/SEO job with them. During my first interview, they told me that I was overqualified for that role and they wanted to instead consider me for a Marketing Coordinator role. They then ghosted me for over 3 months and then finally responded asking if I was still interested in a Marketing role with Glorious. I told them "yes" and they literally said, "False alarm, we aren't hiring for marketing or social media roles anymore." I can't tell if it's a complete disaster in their HR department, or just an incredibly unorganized company.

Glorious has gone completely off the rails, did a new ceo take over we didn’t know about? 350 for a fully built gmmk pro?! And another 129.99 for this?!

[@tyrosine87]

If you kitted out the gmmk pro before, it got pricey fast, as well. Now, how they think they can compete with keychrons offers in the budget market (v1,q series, q0), I don't know. Anyone going for more premium options has access to much better offers from other vendors. I have a kbd75 that's the price (combined) of the fully built gmmk pro, that I would venture is much better.

[@Djjolly037]

@@tyrosine87 it’s 170 for a barebones gmmk pro. I would argue you could build a comparable board to the fully prebuilt for a decent amount less. Yes it CAN get expensive but play your cards right and you can probably build the whole thing for under 300

Their main motto was “Quality products at an affordable price.” and now turned into “Mediocre products at a premium price.”

As a brand designer who is an avid fan of Glorious, their most recent choices have started raising red flags IMO. I was super interested in this when they announced it, until I saw the price.

I agree with you 100% on the fact that Glorious used to feel like a brand for the people, I used to be super hype when glorious was dropping something cause they really came with the heat at a good price point. Now it just feels like they are abusing the group buy model, im definetly not a fan of their business practices lately. Sad to see, great review B! Thanks for being honest.

[@giff74]

I was an early, early adopter to Glorious mice. I've had 5 or 6 different ones in total between the wired and wireless and I'm still using a GMMK Pro keyboard.... However I feel exactly the same about the direction the company has been moving in and I'm only using their keyboard at this point because of how expensive a decent keyboard build is. Keep up the good stuff!!

[@CrystallineLore]

The Keychron keyboard is miles better than the glorious GMMK and not too expensive. Highly recommend it!

[@Shmozone]

I was an early adopter to glorious mice, I had the first wave of the model m and model d. Ive had three of their mice and all ended up breaking in some way before a year. No issues with the keyboards but ive been done with them for a bit now after that.

[@barbuganot]

@@CrystallineLore I've been eyeing the Keychron boards. I'm using the GMMK Pro as well but I want to try the Q1 (I think that's their 75%).

[@CrystallineLore]

@@barbuganot That's what I have. The first version had a few kinks but the second one is a very great entry board with some pretty darn good customization and isn't mega-expensive. It's the entry keyboard I recommend now pretty much. Way better than any drop makes and though you can honestly debate between it and the GMMK, I think it's a better deal than GMMK. Once you get some switches of choice (I'd suggest a sampler set) and some nice keycaps, you got yourself a very sexy board. The Q1 is also a real gasket mount that you can feel unlike the GMMK, which imo makes for a far better typing experience, and it's as heavy as a tank lol.

[@swissix4947]

@@CrystallineLore Im cosidering because of pricing here to get an built q1 and ripp everyting out and put some nice switches in and then finish it with my gmk set that lives for now on my K95 pro.

[@frostgodx]

Thank you for being so transparent on this video. It’s so hard to think of this I also had a great thought of glorious that just sort of faded naturally over time then forced negative with all the group buy red flags until they turned into finalmouse in my brain. It can’t be shook when the choices are that way. The only glorious thing I still have in my daily setup is the xxl mouse pad / desk mat which is again arguably too damn expensive still but an excellent product. What can you really do though in todays world inflation is a bitch and the companies are all doing sketchy shit like this now. I’d have gladly looked into this numpad at $60-80 but fuck if I’ll even look at specs at that price.

[@castform57]

I kinda hope more "just a numpad" boards come out, because goddamn, I really fucking hate it when a keyboard doesn't have a numpad. Certain professions, like a network tech that I am, really benefit from them, including anyone that needs to input RSA keys, but so many laptops and fancy boards don't have them. Also, fuck anyone who doesn't make a numpad keycap set, because how fucking hard is it to make 15 caps, 10 of which are already pre-existing on the base layout.

I 1000% agree with what you said about glorious as a company. I haven’t felt right supporting them for awhile now. Especially since the knockoff aether keycaps

[@Tempest-ec2nn]

I own one of these and love it but it’s a niche use case. I am a forensic accountant and got it for work since our laptops don’t have 10keys. For my use case the Bluetooth and the overbuiltness of it are worth the cost. Sure, I could have gotten a keyboard but this fits in my briefcase much more easily. My wife uses it occasionally as well for the same sort of thing. As I said, edge case, but one that makes me grateful it was made. Also, charging it to the company as a business expense makes the cost easier to handle. Though, I got it before they approved the expense so that would not have been a deal killer for me.

[@DanH11]

I was actually pretty interested in this product to pair in southpaw orientation with a 65% or 75% layout keyboard, especially since it'd give me access to an additional knob and slider, but after I saw the price I decided to pass on the first preorder batch and do some research first, and I'm glad I did. I might even still be interested in this product regardless of numpad functionality, reprogramming the keys entirely and just using it like a macro pad essentially, if only Glorious handled the execution better. 😒

[@dvlmc]

I still have my old full size GMMK and it keeps chugging along with no issues. I've thought about buying other stuff from Glorious but whenever I looked at their site their prices seemed to be all over the place. Once I saw they rebranded from Glorious PC Gaming Race I sorta understood what was happening. They wanted to pivot from a small company with a dedicated fanbase into trying to compete with bigger companies at bigger price points. That wouldn't be a huge issue if it didn't come at the expense of everything else, but it seems like they've effectively abandoned entry level customers.

[@StupidBulletsTech]

Brutally honest. Needed from a trusted source. Well done.

[@KangarooJakk]

Glorious really only had mt support for their mice. The Model O wireless has been my favorite mouse I've used. When I saw the newer full shell mice I got excited as over time I've grown to dislike the skeletal design if the model O as its annoying to clean. I can't properly express my disappointment when I saw it was a group buy and that it had already ended.

[@TheCh0wderp]

They design a lighter version of the Model O without holes and instead of just releasing that as the Model O v2 they made it a limited time GB, that’s just stupid logic.

[@connman9783]

if you are looking for a numpad for macros or for just a numpad, I would recomend the Idabo one. It's a bit pricey and you'll need to get some switches too. But it is solid and I use it every day for work. I use the extra keys for macros, space, tab, backspace, delete, and esc. my only issue, getting keycaps for it, you pretty much have to canabalize a completely separate keycap set, but the extra keys are super handy

[@agiantbluewhale]

I'm new to the custom keyboard scene so I wasn't sure if $130 was a normal price for something like this mousepad. I appreciate your objectivity when it came to critiquing the pricing while still highlighting certain qualities that you actually thought were good.

[@neoqueto]

Nah, this checks all the boxes for me. A zero-compromise product. I'll use it with my PC for macros for like 10 separate pieces of software, and take it on the go with my laptop for use with tablet mode for drawing, 3D sculpting, brush size, stabilization, hotkeys etc. It doesn't hurt that it's wireless, it doesn't hurt that it has backlight, all that is optional, all it does is increase the price, and you aren't forced to buy it. It is overpriced, but at the same time there's nothing like it on the market. A lite version would be great tho. Without the CNC aluminum. Battery life is a bit disappointing. I don't mind it not being optimized for a southpaw setup. FYI, RGB can be functional, it's not just for aesthetics. The only reason people have a problem with it is that it's sold by Glorious, a brand that used to be known for good, budget products. And now they're steering away from that brand image. If they released it under a premium sub-brand, then nobody would have an issue with it (similar to Toyota and Lexus). Or better yet, sell it as a 2x as expensive kit via group buys as that sub brand, then it would be sought after and enthusiasts/collectors would salivate over it. But I guess they aren't just some dude doing all that in a backyard shed. Or you can build yourself a Murphpad, for a similar cost, without backlight, with an OLED screen instead, with DIY build quality, with ZMK, so you're forced to remap your keys by hand in a text editor. No, thanks. Stop fanboying for brands, people. Love the product instead.

I have plenty of the Glorious mice, model O, O-, D, wireless etc, great mice, but when it comes to their keyboards I passed. I have a number of custom keyboards and most of them are from Keychron, I have almost all the keychron Q models, because I find it fun to customise them and change form factor every now and then and I always know they will work fine out of the box (with Linux as well). I find the keychron prices reasonable and within the realms of the custom keyboards hobby, I would even say very affordable. But I have a hard time understanding where Glorious is going with these products and prices, I think they should be evolving the GMMK Pro brand with new models etc. like keychron does.

I was considering buying the GMMK Pro plus an aftermarket numpad... whoo boy am I glad I got a Keychron Q6 instead. It's super beefy and I'm really happy with it as my first custom keeb.

If you just need a numpad with an encoder, I'm a big fan of the CustomMK genesis. It's pretty barebones. Stacked FR4 and Acrylic with rubber feet, but it costs 67$ and has full VIA support, numpad and macropad layout options, and really nice RGB. Plus it seems like they keep it in stock.

[@NedransVikingar]

But if you don't want to order one online this is the only good option where I live. It's this one or an ugly cheap numpad from Logitech. I prefer the look of this numpad more so it's simple.

I agree with virtually the entire review, except for the comments on the knob/slider. More buttons on my board means I can use the same mouse for gaming as I do for productivity, but to each their own. For pairing with the GMMK Pro, I've found the KBDPAD MkII to be an excellent option, the angle is pretty close and the case corners are identical. Misses side RGB and gaskets, but on a numpad those are unnecessary. I will also investigate a pass through patch style cable on my setup, thanks for that idea.

Lol. I bought this preordered this the other day because I need a numpad for work but I find 98% layouts too cramped. I own an RK with the same layout as the Keychron.

[@Logan5Greye]

The piece of aluminum this thing is made from definitely adds to the majority of the cost. Bluetooth without the dongle also adds a decent amount of cost. I agree, the slider is useless since you have the nob for volume. I'm sure if you could make a macro for brightness for the then it'd be great but, that seems more feasible for a laptop than the desktop I use it with. What's kinda weird is that it goes into power saving mode after a few minutes of inactivity even when it's directly connected to PC via USB. I did get up upsold on different switches bc I wanted clicky ones to match my keyboard. Even then $129 is outrageous not counting shipping or any other accessories available.

I use an otholinear as my daily driver and always keep an eye out for a cool num pad. Like you said, this is more than my Drop that I want to use this with. Guess it's time to sit back and wait for something to come up (I just want one for entering IP addresses easier lol)

The GMMK Pro was my first custom mech, but man this is way overkill. I am going to build my end game board instead that is 1800 with a 2u zero key on the numpad. Someday....

Great video. Gives me some good context. I am an accountant and need a number pad and looking at options lately.

this has just been such a shame to watch as someone who is an OG glorious supporter ever since their first mousepads. watching a small company that cared for their products and consumers turn into another steelseries or logitech just hurts to see.

[@TheJgre98]

If you think about it, they are worse than logitech, razer, steelseries, etc. Those companies may overcharge for the quality of their product but at least they dont run scummy group buys.

[@Arithmophobia]

@@TheJgre98 The big companies don't do group buys because they have the resources to just release products, that's really not a fair comparison.

[@TheJgre98]

@@Arithmophobia glorious is a big enough company at this point to fund their own development of products. If pulsar can develope and release an X2 and X2 mini. Glorious should be able to do the same with the model O pro

[@LakerTriangle]

As someone with 2 GMMK pros I agree!

Glorious: From Hero to Zero in a few years. Written on my GMMK Pro with Keychron Keycaps^^. No prebuild.
