Our Verdict
Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro
GLORIOUS GMMK 3
The Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro and GLORIOUS GMMK 3 are wired mechanical gaming keyboards. The Razer has significantly better raw performance, build quality, and typing quality. It also includes a wrist rest and a full set of dedicated media controls, which the GLORIOUS lacks. On the other hand, the GLORIOUS offers more in-depth hardware customization. You can also choose to customize the GLORIOUS extensively at purchase with a much wider range of color options, materials, and features. The GLORIOUS also has a hot-swappable PCB, while the Razer's switches are soldered.
