Glorious seems to be taking the OnePlus route albeit for different external factors. The end result is the same though, a scrappy upstart providing insane value but then living long enough to see itself become the villain.

I've had some personal issues with Glorious as well. I hold a Marketing Degree and decided back in January that I would apply for a Copywriter/SEO job with them. During my first interview, they told me that I was overqualified for that role and they wanted to instead consider me for a Marketing Coordinator role.

They then ghosted me for over 3 months and then finally responded asking if I was still interested in a Marketing role with Glorious. I told them "yes" and they literally said, "False alarm, we aren't hiring for marketing or social media roles anymore." I can't tell if it's a complete disaster in their HR department, or just an incredibly unorganized company.

I agree with you 100% on the fact that Glorious used to feel like a brand for the people, I used to be super hype when glorious was dropping something cause they really came with the heat at a good price point. Now it just feels like they are abusing the group buy model, im definetly not a fan of their business practices lately. Sad to see, great review B! Thanks for being honest.

Not sure how Glorious went so far off the rails. $350 for GMMK Pro? $130 for a numpad? Not to mention all the friggin group buys. Cmon son! Whoever is running the show over there needs to take a hard look in the mirror.

[FunkyHQYT]

THIS is the take I've been feeling needed to be expressed for a while about Glorious and where they're headed. They won the favor of so many by making good/affordable alternatives and now this... I used to love their stuff but after the GMMK Pro, I lost it for them. GG's Brian, thanks for letting them know. 🐏

[Djjolly]

Glorious has gone completely off the rails, did a new ceo take over we didn’t know about? 350 for a fully built gmmk pro?! And another 129.99 for this?!

As a brand designer who is an avid fan of Glorious, their most recent choices have started raising red flags IMO.

I was super interested in this when they announced it, until I saw the price. That’s insane!

Your honest take on this resonated very similarly to how I was feeling: kinda sour about this whole thing. 😣

[giff]

I was an early, early adopter to Glorious mice. I've had 5 or 6 different ones in total between the wired and wireless and I'm still using a GMMK Pro keyboard.... However I feel exactly the same about the direction the company has been moving in and I'm only using their keyboard at this point because of how expensive a decent keyboard build is.

Keep up the good stuff!!

[EwanLim]

FINALLY. I've been waiting for something like this for YEARS. That and keyboards with numpads on the left. Great for productivity.

[Alekouzos]

Ok, I love that you speak out of theeth words. I like that you are not tied to what you will say from each company. For that you deserve a tone of credits BadSeed!

[frostgodx]

Thank you for being so transparent on this video. It’s so hard to think of this I also had a great thought of glorious that just sort of faded naturally over time then forced negative with all the group buy red flags until they turned into finalmouse in my brain. It can’t be shook when the choices are that way.

The only glorious thing I still have in my daily setup is the xxl mouse pad / desk mat which is again arguably too damn expensive still but an excellent product. What can you really do though in todays world inflation is a bitch and the companies are all doing sketchy shit like this now.

I’d have gladly looked into this numpad at $60-80 but fuck if I’ll even look at specs at that price.

[papertelevision]

I have no doubt you'll be hitting 1 million+ subscribers one of these days. Awesome job on this as always.

[randeegunthunter]

Damn Brian, you went hard on them and I respect you for that.

[markvergara]

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

[switchxb]

This move by glorious makes it seems like they’d be the type of roommate who marks where their oj level was with a sharpie in the fridge but still helps themselves to pizza when you offer

[castform]

I kinda hope more "just a numpad" boards come out, because goddamn, I really fucking hate it when a keyboard doesn't have a numpad.

Certain professions, like a network tech that I am, really benefit from them, including anyone that needs to input RSA keys, but so many laptops and fancy boards don't have them. Also, fuck anyone who doesn't make a numpad keycap set, because how fucking hard is it to make 15 caps, 10 of which are already pre-existing on the base layout.

[coreytumpkin]

Good on you for being upfront about you affiliations, makes your info much easier to trust

[Synthetica]

I could see this thing but in a very different role: as a smart home remote. Encoder + slider + a bunch of keys + Bluetooth is a very unique and useful combination in that role

[dranawor]

No punches pulled. I love it. And totally agree; they became that which they promised to fight.

In between their fashion endeavors and group buys, Glorious speed runs into Finalmouse territory!
