Our Verdict

GLORIOUS GMMK

GLORIOUS GMMK 2

The GLORIOUS GMMK and the GLORIOUS GMMK 2 are very similar mechanical keyboards that are designed to be customizable. However, the GMMK 2 has some improvements over the GMMK including lower latency, a better build quality, and better RGB backlighting. Also, the full-size of the GMMK 2 is slightly smaller as it eliminates a few keys and the spaces between the Numpad, arrow keys, and alphanumeric keys.
