Our Verdict

Ducky One 2 Mini V1

GLORIOUS GMMK PRO

The Ducky One 2 Mini V1 is an excellent prebuilt keyboard for gaming, while the GLORIOUS GMMK PRO is a barebones keyboard for mixed usage. The Ducky is much more compact and lacks the dedicated function row and arrow keys that the GLORIOUS has. The Ducky is available with a variety of switches and in different colors. On the other hand, the GLORIOUS doesn't come with any switches or keycaps, so you can choose whichever ones you want. It comes in two colors, and there's a programmable rotary knob which you can also swap for a different color. The GLORIOUS also has lower latency, as long as you have it updated to the latest firmware.
