This custom Glorious GMMK 3 Pro HE keyboard is stunning and utter bliss

Inside this box is the most exciting product I've seen lately. I've been pitched a lot of different products over the last few years and sometimes it's hard to get excited about them, but this one is truly special.

This is a custom built GMMK 3 Pro HE. Which is part of the GMMK 3 keyboard line up from Glorious. Glorious now has several keyboards in the GMMK 3 lineup starting with base wired models, all the way up to wireless models that rock Hall Effect switches and more. The most exciting part though is you can design your own keyboard on their website and there are enough possible combinations that you can create 1 billion different designs.

This includes everything from the switches to the keycaps, bottom case, top case, rotary volume knob, gaskets, keycaps, cable and more. I've crafted something pretty special using their boardsmith configuration tool, so I'm here to show it off.

Hoping to have a full, more in-depth review of the GMMK 3 Pro HE soon too.

Note that you can get off the shelf models of standard GMMK 3 starting from $119. The Pro HE model though starts at $299.99

Too much competition in the custom keyboard market for this to be exciting at $300😭

[kenni_blvck]

I love my gmmk pro 3 he. The resistance when I type feels amazing.

[AphillyatedYT]

hey is there any interference with the HE switches and cherrry profile keycaps?

[DM-eqrs]

Your channel is a national treasure. Loved the video, mate.
Greetings from Spain.

Looking forward to more HE keyboards reviews in the future!
Have you seen or will be reviewing the Wooting and Meletrix HE keyboards?

[k̇w]

Doing switch comparisons on the escape, tab, shift, and control keys is diabolical work. Such different keys to be testing switches on 😂

[MauricedelTaco]

I've been lookin at keyboards recently. I'll check this one out. thx

[Luca-Sisto]

As someone who’s been wanting to build a complete custom keyboard I actually think this is great. Every keyboard I have wanted to build barebones has been out of stock with little to NOTHING about when it’s coming in stock or if it never will. The custom keyboard market is honestly a mess, and I think someone like me who wants to get into it, it’s so off putting

[broham]

Keychron Q1 HE does the exact same thing. It’s $220 prebuilt. It has wireless, aluminum body, Hall effect, and knob. All you get from this keyboard is cooler colors, dual HE/MX switches, and 8000hz for the wired connection. Definitely not almost double the price. (Another keyboard to mention is the Monsgeek MW1 V3 HE Similar as GMMK and has the 8000hz wired for $109-$129). Yes I get the flexibility for custom colors, but this is the new Apple company of peripherals taxing because they are Glorious. Like I why spend $409 for an all white HE wireless keyboard when I can save $300 with a keyboard that has the same features. Like if they made it cheaper by $150 it’ll be more competitive in the keyboard market. I really loved Glorious before with their good mice and keyboards but now they are getting greedy. No shame to the people who want the custom-ability of different colors but if it’s an all white/silver or all black it shouldn’t cost this much.

i dont get all the hate here i have the gmmk 3 he and its so fast for gaming and sounds great

[MhillPlays]

Looks cool until I configured my own. Ended up at $488….thats pretty daft imo. But thx for covering the product Prawn, I’m sure keyboard fanatics will love it.

[Everestスノー]

What? That voice ain't modded, that's a legit soothing voice ya got @TheProvokedPrawn.

[MrTinribz]

Are there any other dual MX / HE keyboards or just the GMMK 3 Pro?

[Eldon.]

prawn did you make a video about the glorious software? cause i just got the gmmk 3 pro he and i need a lil help with the software

[geraldinspain]

Hi! can you please tell me if you can use glorious he switches for wooting60/80he? Thanks!

[KnightmareUSA]

on my newish system Im still using a Time ⌛(now PC World) prebuilt keyboard from 2003…might need to upgrade soon

[jakesnow]

I just ordered the original GMMK Pro. I had no idea they made a 3rd one.

[echo]

Please review the asus rog falchion low profile keyboard next! I think you'd love it!

[bittim]

Few things i wanted to point out or ask.
I saw another reviewer who used the lynx switches and they sounded terrible. I know sound is subjective but they're branded as being msrbly sounding and sound more clacky, and not in a good way.
Second those stabilizers looked ultra wobbly!!!! I would swap them for screw in stabs.
I wanted to ask your input about how the software is. Some people say it stinks, but my overall impression is that its well built.
Overall, great review!
