Our Verdict
GLORIOUS GMMK PRO
Keychron Q5 Max [Q1 Max, Q2 Max, etc.]
The GLORIOUS GMMK PRO and the Keychron Q5 Max are highly customizable mechanical keyboards. The GLORIOUS is a wired-only model with a plastic case. It's also available with a much wider array of build options at purchase. On the other hand, the Keychron has a comparatively more premium-feeling solid aluminum case and double-gasket mounting design that provides a better typing experience out of the box. The Keychron also has wireless connectivity via Bluetooth or a 2.4 GHz receiver. Lastly, unlike the GLORIOUS, which is only available in a compact 75% form factor, the Keychron is part of a wider Q Max lineup with many different size variants available.
