    A great balance between, simplicity, functionality, and form
    This keyboard has a lot of positives going for it especially for people who want to start branching out beyond the entry level point of custom/DIY keyboards but aren’t sure where to go with it. The build is very sturdy, heavy, and sleek overall and has a premium feel to it. The hot-swap sockets makes it nice to test out different switches without having to learn or clean up from soldering, and they are 5 pin sockets so You don’t have to manipulate most switches to fit them in. It functions fine without the Glorious Software but that is an option for further customization of the board with its RGB, macros, and keybinding. The sound of the board when typing feels full, there’s no metallic twang or reverberation because of the dampening material. The only thing I want to nitpick about it is the usb-c cable being a little finicky after a few months of use but that could be a user error. Not totally sure. But I planned on getting a custom cable anyway.

    Solid keyboard for gaming AND typing
    As a college student who games and types a lot I wanted to get into the custom mechanical keyboard scene. This is definitely a really solid entry to it. I bought it while it was full price and of course now they can be bought much cheaper. However, even having bought it full price I think it was worth the money.
    If you’re coming a gaming board, this is going to feel crazy. It’s heavy, it’s quiet (maybe not the stabs on some boards), and it feels so high quality.
    If you’re already a keyboard enthusiast, you’re probably not going to like it. The stabs I mentioned before aren’t perfect by any means. The factory lube job is poor to say the least. I was lucky with only my left shift having any sort of rattle and its minimal. every other stabilizer feels great to me. The “Gasket Mounting” is very stiff and just feels like a sandwich mount. so if you want a flexible board be prepared to spend even more money on mods. But if you’re fine with a stiff board it’s not that bad.
    Good keyboard that I Genuinely enjoy, but you can definitely get comparable options for a better price although they may have trade offs, which is why i chose this board.

    Good…minus some QC issues.
    I love this keyboard! It’s my first ever custom kb bought with the intention of it being a relatively uneventful build. It’s HEAVY and sounds great with my Boba U4T switches and looks great too with the RGB and the Glorious RGB keycaps! That being said, there were a couple of QC issues that made this a somewhat frustrating build. The first was an issue with the “screw hole?” standoff breaking away from the frame of the front plate. Not a huge issue I suppose, but it came in the box loose, and I had to awkwardly anchor it with a pair of plyers to get the screw to tighten down. The second issue was the enter key was hard sticking in the down position. It felt like the keycap was being wedged down over the switch. It would not come back up at all without being pulled. I took the keycap and put it on another switch/standoff pair and had zero issues. So I swapped out the switch for the enter key, same thing. So I put a different keycap on it, same thing. I end up removing all the caps and switches and completely disassemble the keyboard. I get down to the PCB and take one look at the stabilizer and immediately know what the issue is. One of the two housing was literally like ‘S’ shaped. Of course they’re supposed to be rectangular. So when the stabilizer was depressed, the inner square-ish piece was getting wedged in the bottom of the S-shaped housing. Pretty big bummer as all the other stabs worked perfectly. That being said, it seems that one of the biggest complaints with this KB is the stabs, so instead of RMAing the device and dealing with all that, I took the opportunity to just order some actual quality stabs. After being thrust more into the custom kb world than I anticipated, I still would say this is a worthwhile buy. Just be aware that there might be some quality issues that you have to address.

    É um ótimo teclado para quem deseja apenas encaixar os switches + keycaps e usar, mas é perfeito para quem quer fazer mods. O preço pode parecer alto, mas vale a pena.
    Instalei pads de poron para switches e estabilizadores, Durock v2 com Holee mod + lubrificante GPL 205 G0, switches Gateron G-Pro V2 Red e umas keycaps pudding feitas de PBT com perfil XDA.
    Limpei e lubrifiquei alguns switches e depois apliquei film neles, mas acabei usando os switches stock. Na minha opinião, a diferença é mínima e não vale a pena lubrificar esses switches em específico, pois a lubrificação de fábrica é excelente.
    O case é feito em CNC a partir de um bloco sólido de alumínio, o que torna esse teclado bem robusto e pesado. O som é impecável, sem ruídos indesejados. O design é bem moderno, não é cheio de detalhes desnecessários igual aos diversos outros modelos “gamer” encontrados no mercado.
    Eu amo o fato desse teclado ser rígido. Algumas pessoas acham que isso é um ponto negativo, pois têm a ideia errada de que gasket mount = flexibilidade.
    O ponto principal de teclados gasket mount é evitar atrito entre as duas partes do case, além de garantir um som mais agradável. A ideia surgiu há anos a partir do conceito de vedação de dutos de água e gás/ar. Desde então, alguns entusiastas descobriram que poderiam fazer com que os teclados ficassem flexíveis ao digitar, mas esse nunca foi o motivo principal.
    A verdade é que flexibilidade é uma questão de opinião e não deveria contar como ponto positivo ou negativo para um produto. Eu odeio teclados flexíveis, mas pode ser que você adore ou não ligue pra isso.
    De qualquer forma, recentemente a Glorious desenvolveu o FlexKit para quem deseja fazer com que esse teclado seja flexível, e no momento está disponível para membros da Guild no site oficial da Glorious.
    A PCB é de qualidade, e pelo que pude notar todas as soldas são impecáveis.
    As espumas inclusas encaixam perfeitamente, assim como o plate de alumínio. Não tive problema algum para encaixar os Durock v2.
    A parte de baixo do case possui um canal para passar o cabo que liga a daughterboard — que possui o conector USB-C — até a PCB principal. Isso ajuda muito na hora de organizar tudo antes de fechar e apertar os últimos parafusos.
    O knob é perfeito. É muito mais prático do que usar botões de funções. Ele é bem estável e robusto, algo em que a maioria dos outros teclados pecam.
    Ele é bem pequeno em relação aos teclados full size, não ocupando espaço além do necessário. Isso é ótimo pra quem joga FPS com eDPI baixo, pois sobra uma área grande pra movimentar o mouse.
    O software Glorious CORE é o suficiente, mas eu instalei o firmware QMK após programá-lo do jeito que eu queria e desde então uso o teclado diariamente.
    10/10
    Peço desculpas pelo paredão de texto, mas achei que seria útil detalhar minha experiência para aqueles que estão indecisos.
    P.S.: Para quem sente falta de numpad, uma dica que eu dou é reservar uma das camadas no QMK com um layout parecido com numpad. Eu uso a camada 2 exatamente pra isso. As teclas QWE se tornam 789, ASD se tornam 456, ZXC se tornam 123, L-Alt se torna 0, etc. Isso é ótimo pra quem está acostumado a digitar vários números ou quer usar símbolos, como en-dash, em-dash, dentre outros. Tem também o GMMK Numpad, que eu pretendo comprar em breve.

    De verdad que se nota la calidad de esta Base / Case , muy premium.
    He estado probando por varios días con los demás complementos de la marca y todo muy bien.
    Lo único malo que podria decir , es que es muy pesado pero mucho.
    Lo recomiendo ? si lo recomiendo.

    Teclado diferente de qualquer coisa que eu já vi na minha vida, qualidade surreal, quanto a entrega foi bem rápido, a transportadora foi a Transpostal e veio de Miami até SP em 3 dias. após isso foi entregue aos correios que levaram para Curitiba e enviaram de volta a SP em 4 dias, extremamente rápido, tempo de espera semelhante a encomendas da China

  8. Pelosini

    Tirando o software proprietário dele, que você pode usar outro, o teclado é ótimo, mt bem construído, pesado e lindo
