Hi guys! After starting with gaming keyboards from Corsair I moved on to Ducky boards and now had a friend help me build this GMMK Pro with Flexkit. I know it isn't particularly well regarded in this community but overall I am happy with it.

Here are some pics:

GMMK Pro with Glorious Panda Tactile switches and the Glorious Arctic and Rainforest keycaps.

It does have the flex kit and and alu plate. The cable is a cheap one bought from Amazon.

Do you still have to pay Glorious to fix the gasket mount, or are they doing the decent thing and including the "flex kit" for free these days?

Ridiculous... paying them for the fix to a design they got wrong. I'd have thought that would be fitted as standard on all new ones, or at least simply a choice... you know, like choosing the colour... you choose if you want firm, or flex. If you still pay for it, that means that a board they advertise as a gasket mount, actually costs $240 bare bones if you want the gasket mount to work. That's the same price as a QK75. That's outrageous. I genuinely thought they would offer the fix free. It is a fix BTW... not an option. The gasket mount just doesn't work. I have a GMMK Pro... it's as solid and stiff as a tray mount.

I agree. I am still a noob. In hindsight I should have probably picked a Q1 instead. Oh well. I am happy with the board now.

I love my GMMK Pro but I didn't pay full price for it. I do use the alu plate since I prefer the sound profile.

Also I believe its a good board to begin with. I would have gone with a QK75 but it was already sold out.

I mean at least the GMMK Pro is in stock. QK75 is a group buy, which was the only reason why I went with a GMMK Pro.

I think many people on this sub recommend the Keychron Q1 instead. Maybe I will get one as my next board.

That's not what I was saying :) If you like the board, everything is cool. My criticism is of Glorious... not you.
