Our Verdict
GLORIOUS GMMK 2
GLORIOUS GMMK 3
The GLORIOUS GMMK 3 and GLORIOUS GMMK 2 are mechanical gaming keyboards in the same lineup.
Both are designed with modularity and customizability in mind. While they're available in prebuilt configurations, you can also customize various parts and colors on GLORIOUS' website. The GMMK 3 is newer and features a new gasket mount design that provides a slightly softer typing experience. It also has somewhat better gaming performance. On the other hand, the GMMK 2 has a standard top mount design and a slightly more compact (96%) form factor.
