Gloria sent us a bunch of stuff a whole
slew of products we got their gmmk2 65 modular mechanical keyboard we got a
numpad from them we got a cable gpbt
premium PBT keycap set a wrist rest and
a different numpad I am excited wanted to cover a bunch of like I love the gmmk
pro let's do the cable glorious coiled
cable with the crimson red color I love
that crimson red USBC these can be really expensive depending on where you
get them I've made these myself I have bought several from several different
companies so far looks pretty good that's a decent coil here's the problem
with these a lot of the time they coil them in a way depending on who you buy
it from where this doesn't like come out
at a straight angle perfectly so like right now this rests like this naturally
but really you want it like this so when you do that to some of these other
cables it just like makes them a little off-center they're not perfect at that
point like maybe they're off to the side or like maybe they're like this or
whatever anyway it's not happening Here length is pretty good uh so part of the
reason why you can't get super long coils is because USB actually has like a
maximum length and if we measure from end to end it is about six inches so
yeah I can I can still eyeball lengths
of things take that however you want um your Aviator connector this thing is
purely for Aesthetics it's a five pin connector which is a little nice most of
the ones I've used are like four pin and you just so you just put it in and then
you screw it down and then bam so now
what you've got on your desk is going to be something like this I mean the cable
is a little stiff right now but you just keep it out and maybe hold it straight
for a little while and it should kind of okay I guess that's my only complaint a
lot of time when you get these they're like they're not as uh stiff as this okay we
got a wrist rest by the way Jerry rig knife there we go okay what you get is
oh yeah that's kind of nice I actually strongly prefer a soft fabric and like
memory foam or cooling gel or whatever yeah I think it's wood actually this
could be a really nice alternative oh and the wood actually explains a lot so
I saw these markings and I thought it was like scrapes on the plastic yeah the
ridge is a lot clearer I think like you can see it on here too uh one cool thing
though is that it's got these rubber grips on the bottom so it's actually
like really not going anywhere we've got two numpads black and white I'm gonna
flip this knife let's say the uh label side is the white one and the other side
is the black one we're opening the white one okay they're otherwise basically the
same it's just a color oh this is Hefty already I think these
are all aluminum so CNC aluminum 18 programmable Keys knob and slider
controls actually really like it already it's got a little like Bluetooth on or
off switch down here oh as soon as you said to Bluetooth it's turned on instead
of so it's not plugged in but you know it's got some juice looks like there's a
bunch of RGB which is pretty nice and then you've got these little side lights
as well that turn on a little hard to pick up on the camera during with
certain angles and whatnot but should be fully programmable one pretty cool thing
as well is that glorious is like embossed into the bottle where it's
carved out it's pretty sweet and I like that it's got both a knob which feels
great can it click yeah it can click so you can use this like a play or pause
button I get you know it's fully programmable so it's up to you use the
slider or the knob for whatever you want maybe you want the volume on the slider
and you want the knob to do forward and back or something like that it sounds
and feels pretty good I don't know which switches are in this guy but I know that
they are making their own now I mean they have been for years let's check it
out yeah I'm not sure if this is gmk or
if it's Cherry but it's just some red linear switch oh no it does say glorious
the stabilizers sound and feel pretty good if they're
not lubed then they've done a pretty good job of constructing them in a way
where they're not like super scratchy or rattly construction overall is pretty
sweet and yeah like I said before I do love how there's both a knob and a
slider we've got a keycap set for our keyboard that we're gonna get to
eventually I promise this is the celestial fire version well what else we
get oh my God stickers hell yeah I'm keeping this sticker it's a little
excessive if you're worried about plastic packaging in products so that's
my only one like real complaint yeah it feels okay feels like PBT I guess it's
probably these guys too I don't know if these are double shot
shine through but these clearly are so if that matters a lot to you then it
looks like you're in luck the gmmk pro came out several years ago now and it's
pretty good honestly it kind of shook up the scene you know you're gonna have a
lot of Boutique people who are like oh you can get better keyboards like yeah yeah sure you can but it's usually in
stock and it's good enough for what it is and the price is right uh part of why
I recommend heatron so much is simply
because it's a similar build quality to the gmmk pro but at least the Q series
is but you can get it in like a ton of different both colors and uh layouts and
sizes and stuff but gmmk is definitely a
good option oh they've got another holder another cable what's this guy it's the
Glorious symbol no it's just the Escape key okay uh this is the fully assembled
version before I show you the goods though we're going to talk about our sponsor today
enlisted enlisted is a free to play World War II multiplayer shooter
available on PC PS5 PS4 Xbox series X S
and Xbox One it has a focus on historical authenticity and gameplay
that always keeps you in the middle of the action you'll be placed in
large-scale combat alongside dozens of soldiers and vehicles directly in famous
historical campaigns like the invasion of Normandy head to the link below and
start playing enlisted for free you'll also get a free bonus for signing up
keyword time all right they got a nice little soft foam to keep the you know
nice and safe they did indeed put the
Glorious logo on the Escape key and then give us the Escape key cool yeah this is
the pre-built it comes with everything already installed for you if you're a little afraid of building your own
mechanical keyboard I honestly personally recommend you try it it's not
that hard and once you know how to do it for one keyboard most of them kind of
are at least very similar ah
I like it there's a there's like a hollow like a hollow kind of sound going
on so I don't know I'm sure there's foam in here though it's nice and Hefty it's
definitely plastic on the bottom and then aluminum on the top
space bar could use a little work on the stabilizers but that's okay that can be
a project that you can do yourself it's honestly not that hard you got your USBC
cable there that will plug in oh you got adjustable
feet they only have on or off I guess that's
my only complaint so far is I would love a single option in between whatever
fully extend it is and whatever closed is for the different angle I really like
the rubber feet though these are actually kind of crazy they've got these little studs on all of them yeah they're
all bumpy usually it's just like rubber padding and that's it so I wonder if it
yeah I mean this thing's pretty good don't get me wrong they usually stay pretty good anyway but this should be
hot swappable so if you don't like any of the switches you get you can just
swap them out and you can also order this as the Bare Bones version which
doesn't come with switches so I think this guy is like a hundred ten hundred
and twenty dollars fully assembled and then if you want the Bare Bones version you can save like 30 40 bucks and I
think it's 80 bucks you know it all depends if you don't have a single
keyboard yet it's definitely worth it to just get the fully kitted out one so you
don't have to worry about which switches to get you don't have to worry about buying keycaps anything like that but if
you're more of an Enthusiast or a hobbyist and you've already got a bunch of stuff like that then just get the
Bare Bones version honestly because you're probably gonna do a better job putting it together yourself depending
on where you want to put the foam how much foam you want to use if you want to
do any other stuff like gluing the stabilizers when you're assembling it you know anything like that we've got
more of those red glorious switches they seem fine they seem like Reds it says
it's hot swap it is and it's five pin right on for
example these are three pin switches they absolutely could have saved a
little bit of money probably and got three pin pcbs and it would have been
fine but you know what they want that little bit of extra mile and they gave
us five pin okay so you remember that thing I was
talking about before where the coil on the cables and you got to move it out
like one more half rotation it kind of screws stuff up for example if I want
this to go out to the right plug it in and everything you see how it's got this like little
bit of a slope to it on the edge here that's what I'm talking about it's not a
big deal yeah see now it's doing on this side part of the problem is that the feet are up so if we put the feet down
and put it there it's still it ah yeah see and this is happening from most
people that I buy from like cable mod the same thing happens I bought from
like Badger cables I think they're out of business now but same thing happened
there I've made my own the same thing happens it's really hard to get this
coil like perfect so you've really got to be paying attention as you coil it
and like when exactly to stop and then straighten out the ending with stuff
either way once it has sat somewhere for a while it'll kind of like start to just
lay flat and it's fine and you know it's a it's a pretty minor problem to have
it's just if you're spending all this money you want it to like be perfectly
symmetrical like myself right now
we're gonna do the old monkey type the classic and here we go oh that's right oh caps
lock is on oh my God one thing to note about 65 you have a function key here
because I don't have an afro so I can't just hit F5 I gotta go function five
it's really not a huge deal and a lot of people need even smaller layouts they're
like yeah 40 is fine I just have like two other layers of macros
117 98 that's not bad yeah like I said
there's like a hollow feeling to it it's not it's not terrible like this is
definitely on par with other boards that are like this where you've got
everything visible like you can see all the switches here and I'm not crazy
about those personally like I love the look of it but I find you don't get
quite the same like Foxy deep sound as you do when um everything is below a
nice top case the drop keyboards are a
big offender for this exact problem zero okay that's close enough two pounds
that's portable it's not you know crazy light or anything but you could
definitely Chuck this in a backpack and then not really worry about it being in
there especially if you keep that little cloth that came with it I guess that's my only other issue is sometimes when
you're paying a little more you're also getting like a carrying case with your keyboard you're not going to get that
here but at the price point I don't think you can complain all that much to
begin with as for everyone out there should you buy this I don't know it's a
tough it's a tough call everyone's different everyone has different needs I
I personally don't really want this board in particular I want a gmmk Pro 2
whenever they make the pro 2. I know there's an upgrade kit for the gmmk pro
so I'd like to see that just like in a final version how much does this guy weigh 1.2 pounds it's going all over the
place this scale sucks uh anyway it's a full CNC aluminum body like this thing
is actually relatively premium feeling to be perfectly honest and getting the
slider in there on top of the knob is actually pretty nice it's like 130 US
Dollars which is really hard for some people to stomach especially when you
can just buy like a full kit keyboard yeah I don't know man it's tough me
personally yes I would buy this thing I think it's actually a really quality
numpad but you can absolutely find cheaper ones they're just probably not
going to be full CNC aluminum so I definitely think that like this can be a
really solid entry point to people looking to get into the hobby this is
more of an upgrade kind of thing down the line kind of want one now we got two
so maybe maybe I'll try to get one from work thanks for watching everyone if you
want another hot swap board but you wanted like a really trusted brand I
guess then go for the Corsair check out the k70 pro that we just unboxed it's
not perfect but it's hot swappable finally these
things are glorious I don't know
