Our Verdict

Ducky One 2 RGB TKL

GLORIOUS GMMK PRO

The Ducky One 2 RGB TKL and the GLORIOUS GMMK PRO are both wired gaming keyboards, but the Ducky is a prebuilt TenKeyLess available with a variety of Cherry MX switches. While the Ducky has customization software, you can only change the RGB backlighting, and all macros need to be set from the board itself. On the other hand, the GLORIOUS is a barebones 75% compact board, so you need to buy and install the switches and keycaps yourself. It has customization software that lets you remap keys, set macros, and adjust the backlighting.
