The Glorious GMMK 2 65 Pre-Built Keyboard black is a 65% keyboard that features an aluminium top frame, metal switch plate, pre-lubed plate mounted stabilisers, hot-swappable design with up to 5-pin switch support, pre-lubricated Glorious fox switches, thick dampening foam that absorbs typing vibrations, removable USB-C 2.0 connector, vibrant RGB lighting with 18 pre-installed effects and is compatible with Glorious Core software and QMK.Note: This pre-built model includes Glorious fox linear switches and keycaps.FeaturesAluminium top frame
Durable and thick metal composes the keyboard's entire top shell for maximum rigidity. The board's substantial weight and grippy rubber feet keep it firmly on your desk during intense gameplay. Anodisation gives the aluminium impressive scratch and corrosion resistance. Fine brushing creates a matte metallic finish that's smooth to the touch.
Doubleshot keycaps
The doubleshot process injects a transparent polymer into the keycap's exterior shell to ensure the top legend never wears off. Each shell is composed of textured ABS shaped into the OEM profile for maximum grip. Clear legends allow the board's RGB backlighting to shine through, enhancing readability in dark spaces and creating a captivating appearance.
Custom compact layout
The GMMK 2 Compact TKL (65%) uses a hybrid layout that perfectly combines form and function. The unique size retains the small form factor of 60% keyboard while keeping important arrow keys and a side navigation column.
Printed side legends (may very, based on keycap choice, sold separately), display useful media and lighting shortcuts, giving the keyboard maximum utility without increasing its desk footprint. Drag and flick your mouse confidently knowing the board won't interfere.
The smaller layout keeps your hands closer together while typing for comfortable ergonomics, preventing cramping and soreness during longer sessions.
Glorious fox linear switches
Glorious Fox linear switches are custom-built to perform. A lightweight 45 g operation creates a perfect balance of speed and control. Tuning their debounce time via CORE software gives them the split-second responsiveness you need in competitive games. Lubricates parts eliminate scratchiness and high-pitched sounds, keeping you focused on the task at hand, not your switches. A balanced 60 g bottom-out force retains crucial tactility while combating finger fatigue during longer sessions.
Vibrant RGB lighting
Quickly toggle between multiple lighting effects with key shortcuts. Fine-tune the RGB's colour and brightness on a per-key level with the Glorious Core software. The PCB's north-facing LEDs shine directly underneath each keycap's transparent legend (if using shine-through keycaps) for enhanced readability and a captivating look. RGB sidelights flank the GMMK 2's body, producing a smooth glow that subtly reflects off your desk.
5-Pin hotswap support
Swapping switches is simple with GMMK 2, no complicated soldering required. Universal 5-pin sockets accept virtually all mechanical switch options without the need for clipping feet. The board's integrated plate helps hold switches firmly in place while protecting the PCB from dust and grime.Designed to be redesigned
Customise how the GMMK 2 sounds, feels, and performs by swapping its switch type thanks to 5-pin hotswap support. No soldering or clipping is required, just plug and play. Transform its appearance by replacing the board's keycaps with different styles from Glorious and other third-party manufacturers. Adjust lighting by toggling between the 18 pre-installed lighting effects, or fine-tune brightness and colour on a per-key level via the Glorious CORE software to perfectly match your setup. For enthusiasts users, swap the included clip-on stabilisers for PCB mount alternatives, like GSV2, that lets you lube them how you like. The board's standard USB-C 2.0 interface and removable braided cable make installing a colourful coiled option a breeze - the perfect finishing touch.Made to stand out
Light up your desk with the GMMK 2's brilliant RGB illumination. Quickly toggle between 18-preinstalled effects using keyboard shortcuts, or fine-tune colour and brightness on a per-key level via the Glorious CORE software. The board's PCB has north-facing LEDs placed directly underneath each keycap's transparent legend for maximum shine. Glorious Fox switches use clear houses with an SMD LED cutout at the top to guarantee accurate colour. Sidelights flank the GMMK 2's body, casting a subtle shine on your desk. The RGB light they produce is nicely diffused for a consistent glow free of noticeable hotspots.Built to perform
The new Glorious Fox's linear 45 g operation is built for high-performance gaming. Factory lubrication guarantees each press is consistently smooth with a satisfying sound. Reduce switch latency via software to experience virtually no input delay. 1000Hz polling rate is standard, freely choosing a debounce delay is not. Pick the fastest latency your switches can handle. The board's compact design provides ample room for wide mouse movements and keeps your arm in a natural resting position for enhanced ergonomics. Improved posture lets you maintain peak performance and combat soreness during longer gaming sessions.Powerful software
The GMMK 2's versatility extends to its software compatibility. Easily adjust performance, lighting, macros, and more via the Glorious CORE software. For more in-depth customisation, flash QMK open-source firmware onto the board.Addictive acoustics
The GMMK 2's quality materials, strict build requirements, and tray mounting system eliminate the potential for creaks or squeaks.
Thick dampening foam absorbs typing vibrations to produce a full-bodied sound. Lubricated stabilisers fight any pinging or rattling, producing a satisfying thock.Glorious Fox switches
Lightweight and linear, Glorious fox switches are custom-designed with tight manufacturing tolerances to deliver superior performance. Pre-lubed parts give the switches a satisfyingly smooth sound and feel.
