About this deal
Plus, the compact size is more ergonomic and comfortable over longer typing and gaming sessions as your hands have less distance to travel. The media keys, lighting settings, and profile settings are all accessible through hotkeys, which you can find in the user manual. The GMMK 2 we tested uses double-shot ABS keycaps, which allow for a more comfortable and durable typing experience. I don’t like super fast switches and, for gaming, I also don’t want heavy switches, so they struck a nice balance here if you’re asking me. Thanks to the 5-pin form, this keyboard is compatible with most available switch brands, including Glorious switches and Cherry MX.
You can also change the look of the keyboard by replacing keycaps with different styles from Glorious and other third-party manufacturers. The stabilizers are plate-mounted, but the GMMK 2 also supports screw-in stabilizers should you want to use those with this board.
The GMMK 2 comes with a novelty escape key which proudly displays their updated logo, and I think most people are going to be happy with this change.
A versatile, long-lasting keyboard that gives you control over every detail and can be considered in the same league as the Apex Pro is nothing to balk at. Initially it was rather disappointing, but once the latest driver was installed it was quite impressive. If you're interested in a similar gaming keyboard with a compact 96% layout but with better latency performance, check out the ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless. The IQUNIX is a wireless model that lets you connect via Bluetooth with up to three devices simultaneously or with a USB receiver.They’re rather smooth out of the box and even though the lubing job isn’t anything close to what an experienced keyboard maker can do by hand I would say that lubing these isn’t a necessity at all.
