Overall amazing quality
Great keyboard. Overall amazing quality.+Price, This keyboard is a great price for what you get. It is the cheapest barebones 1800/96% keyboard.+Quality, Surprisingly very high quality. For the price I wasn’t expecting something quiet this nice. Nocomplaints.+Software, The glorious core software is great. Allows you to program macros, change led colors, remap keys. Very useful.+Support, Glorious has some of the best support around.some cons- screw in stabilizers don’t seem to fit without modification, Even the gsv2 from glorious. I tried with 2 different gmmk 2 pros. Both had the same issue. Random stabilizers are stuck no matter what I did. I think the top frame interferes with how the stabilizer lines up making it bind and get stuck bottomed out.-LED colors are slightly off. The sidelight led won’t display yellow. It has a very obvious green tint. My gmmk pro does not have this issue.Overall I really like this keyboard. Was easy to build/work on and came out great when finished.

Arrived on time and worked great
used this in a recent build with some gateron oil king switches and it worked great the switches sound good and everything looked good would use this base as a budget option again

Amazing
Love everything about this bare bone keyboard! You can download a software to control the profiles and rgb settings, but you can also use kb shortcuts with the Fn key to do this (I saw this on a YT video). Itâs my first time building my own kb so thereâs a lot more to uncover in this niche, and Iâm here for it. I will be taking it apart to mod though, so itâs nice that it comes wrapped in PE foam already. 🙂 Also, thereâs definitely some weight to it which overall, does give it a more quality-like feel.

Nice and weighty, LEDs leave something to be desired.
Pretty good build quality. This is my first (and last) custom keyboard, and I’m generally happy with this base. However, I absolutely hate the LED layout/design. I MUST have a backlit keyboard, and the lighting on this drives me nuts. It’s super customizable but the performance is just awful. They’re either too bright or too dim, per-key customization and lighting poorly bleeds into neighboring keys, and the software is slow and clunky. As a point of comparison, the Razer keyboard I’m coming from just stomps this into the dirt as far as lighting. All-in-all, I’m $200 into a keyboard trying something new and I have an arguably worse keyboard than my 6+ year old Razer Ornata Chroma. But it’s okay because I can just buy more switches, more keycaps and another base and maybe have $400 in a keyboard that performs with pre-built $100 keyboard! Lol.

My first custom barebones keyboard build.
I am very happy with my finished build. I used the following items for the build.1) Outemu Honey Peach Switch V3, 5 Pin Pre-Lubed Silent Linear2) Womier Low Profile Keycaps – Shine Through, Grey/WhiteI am typing this review with this new keyboard. I am using low profile key caps on this board and I am really liking it. Please see attached picture. I only have a couple of small issues with this keyboard. one is that the space bar key would stick after installing the space bar. I replaced the stabilizer with a Durock Stabilizer and that fixed it. The other issue is the layout of the keys will take some getting used to relative to the number pad and curser keys. I don’t see any indicator for keycaps lock being on unless I press a key. Other than those miner issues I very happy with it. The switches were shipped here from China but they are lubed and work as expected. I did need to straiten a few pins on them but they are working fine. I will be keeping and using this keyboard … 🙂

For the price it is very not worth it. Avoid please.
There are alot of reason to avoid this keyboard but I am going to boil it down to 3.1. Price: The price of this is way to high for what you get. Look elsewhere for better quality this keyboard is maybe worth 30ish bucks and that’s being generous.2. Software: My goodness the software is just awful just get a keyboard for half the price fully built with via compatibility and you can thank me later.3. Build Quality: It is okay but again I can’t justify this product for the price. Its not worth it. The coating is okay, the typing feel once built is freaking awful, rgb is good I guess.1/5 I do not recommend
