The GMMK Pro keyboard from Glorious launched back in mid 2021 aimed squarely at gamers who are looking for something a bit more customisable than an ‘off the shelf' gaming keyboard. Almost every aspect of this keyboard can be tweaked, even down to the firmware.  Today we're going to try and find out if this is a good entry point in to the expensive world of custom keyboards…

KitGuru says: The GMMK Pro keyboard is a solid, premium feeling keyboard that can be customised to just about anyone's liking. All of the parts are well made and feel very good quality. The stabiliser are a little disappointing as they came with far too much lube applied out of the box, but this is something that can be resolved quite easily. Gaming and general typing feels smooth and satisfying and the experience of using a GMMK Pro as a daily driver for roughly 6 weeks has been great.
