1
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:09,660
Gloria sent us a bunch of stuff a whole

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:15,120
slew of products we got their gmmk2 65 modular mechanical keyboard we got a

3
00:00:11,940 --> 00:00:18,359
numpad from them we got a cable gpbt

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:20,460
premium PBT keycap set a wrist rest and

5
00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:26,580
a different numpad I am excited wanted to cover a bunch of like I love the gmmk

6
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:29,580
pro let's do the cable glorious coiled

7
00:00:26,580 --> 00:00:31,920
cable with the crimson red color I love

8
00:00:29,580 --> 00:00:36,239
that crimson red USBC these can be really expensive depending on where you

9
00:00:33,420 --> 00:00:40,500
get them I've made these myself I have bought several from several different

10
00:00:37,739 --> 00:00:44,280
companies so far looks pretty good that's a decent coil here's the problem

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:49,379
with these a lot of the time they coil them in a way depending on who you buy

12
00:00:46,020 --> 00:00:51,480
it from where this doesn't like come out

13
00:00:49,379 --> 00:00:55,680
at a straight angle perfectly so like right now this rests like this naturally

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:59,100
but really you want it like this so when you do that to some of these other

15
00:00:56,940 --> 00:01:02,460
cables it just like makes them a little off-center they're not perfect at that

16
00:01:01,140 --> 00:01:06,540
point like maybe they're off to the side or like maybe they're like this or

17
00:01:04,260 --> 00:01:10,020
whatever anyway it's not happening Here length is pretty good uh so part of the

18
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:13,860
reason why you can't get super long coils is because USB actually has like a

19
00:01:12,180 --> 00:01:18,960
maximum length and if we measure from end to end it is about six inches so

20
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:21,720
yeah I can I can still eyeball lengths

21
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:27,479
of things take that however you want um your Aviator connector this thing is

22
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:31,259
purely for Aesthetics it's a five pin connector which is a little nice most of

23
00:01:29,159 --> 00:01:36,000
the ones I've used are like four pin and you just so you just put it in and then

24
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:37,740
you screw it down and then bam so now

25
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,600
what you've got on your desk is going to be something like this I mean the cable

26
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:47,040
is a little stiff right now but you just keep it out and maybe hold it straight

27
00:01:44,939 --> 00:01:49,380
for a little while and it should kind of okay I guess that's my only complaint a

28
00:01:48,420 --> 00:01:56,399
lot of time when you get these they're like they're not as uh stiff as this okay we

29
00:01:53,579 --> 00:02:03,600
got a wrist rest by the way Jerry rig knife there we go okay what you get is

30
00:02:01,140 --> 00:02:09,300
oh yeah that's kind of nice I actually strongly prefer a soft fabric and like

31
00:02:07,140 --> 00:02:12,660
memory foam or cooling gel or whatever yeah I think it's wood actually this

32
00:02:11,220 --> 00:02:17,160
could be a really nice alternative oh and the wood actually explains a lot so

33
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:21,360
I saw these markings and I thought it was like scrapes on the plastic yeah the

34
00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:25,379
ridge is a lot clearer I think like you can see it on here too uh one cool thing

35
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:29,480
though is that it's got these rubber grips on the bottom so it's actually

36
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:36,180
like really not going anywhere we've got two numpads black and white I'm gonna

37
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:39,480
flip this knife let's say the uh label side is the white one and the other side

38
00:02:37,860 --> 00:02:43,019
is the black one we're opening the white one okay they're otherwise basically the

39
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:47,760
same it's just a color oh this is Hefty already I think these

40
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:52,019
are all aluminum so CNC aluminum 18 programmable Keys knob and slider

41
00:02:50,459 --> 00:02:56,280
controls actually really like it already it's got a little like Bluetooth on or

42
00:02:54,239 --> 00:02:59,640
off switch down here oh as soon as you said to Bluetooth it's turned on instead

43
00:02:58,260 --> 00:03:03,420
of so it's not plugged in but you know it's got some juice looks like there's a

44
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:06,420
bunch of RGB which is pretty nice and then you've got these little side lights

45
00:03:04,739 --> 00:03:10,440
as well that turn on a little hard to pick up on the camera during with

46
00:03:08,340 --> 00:03:14,580
certain angles and whatnot but should be fully programmable one pretty cool thing

47
00:03:13,019 --> 00:03:19,140
as well is that glorious is like embossed into the bottle where it's

48
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:23,459
carved out it's pretty sweet and I like that it's got both a knob which feels

49
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,760
great can it click yeah it can click so you can use this like a play or pause

50
00:03:25,019 --> 00:03:30,060
button I get you know it's fully programmable so it's up to you use the

51
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:33,900
slider or the knob for whatever you want maybe you want the volume on the slider

52
00:03:31,620 --> 00:03:38,280
and you want the knob to do forward and back or something like that it sounds

53
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:42,299
and feels pretty good I don't know which switches are in this guy but I know that

54
00:03:39,959 --> 00:03:48,000
they are making their own now I mean they have been for years let's check it

55
00:03:44,940 --> 00:03:50,000
out yeah I'm not sure if this is gmk or

56
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:55,799
if it's Cherry but it's just some red linear switch oh no it does say glorious

57
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:59,640
the stabilizers sound and feel pretty good if they're

58
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,060
not lubed then they've done a pretty good job of constructing them in a way

59
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,480
where they're not like super scratchy or rattly construction overall is pretty

60
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:10,680
sweet and yeah like I said before I do love how there's both a knob and a

61
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:13,799
slider we've got a keycap set for our keyboard that we're gonna get to

62
00:04:11,819 --> 00:04:18,780
eventually I promise this is the celestial fire version well what else we

63
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:22,199
get oh my God stickers hell yeah I'm keeping this sticker it's a little

64
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:26,940
excessive if you're worried about plastic packaging in products so that's

65
00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:30,600
my only one like real complaint yeah it feels okay feels like PBT I guess it's

66
00:04:28,860 --> 00:04:34,860
probably these guys too I don't know if these are double shot

67
00:04:32,220 --> 00:04:39,120
shine through but these clearly are so if that matters a lot to you then it

68
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:43,259
looks like you're in luck the gmmk pro came out several years ago now and it's

69
00:04:41,220 --> 00:04:45,360
pretty good honestly it kind of shook up the scene you know you're gonna have a

70
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:50,400
lot of Boutique people who are like oh you can get better keyboards like yeah yeah sure you can but it's usually in

71
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:56,580
stock and it's good enough for what it is and the price is right uh part of why

72
00:04:53,220 --> 00:04:58,919
I recommend heatron so much is simply

73
00:04:56,580 --> 00:05:02,940
because it's a similar build quality to the gmmk pro but at least the Q series

74
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:08,820
is but you can get it in like a ton of different both colors and uh layouts and

75
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:10,139
sizes and stuff but gmmk is definitely a

76
00:05:08,820 --> 00:05:15,960
good option oh they've got another holder another cable what's this guy it's the

77
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:20,040
Glorious symbol no it's just the Escape key okay uh this is the fully assembled

78
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:25,800
version before I show you the goods though we're going to talk about our sponsor today

79
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:31,740

86
00:05:51,539 --> 00:05:59,759
keyword time all right they got a nice little soft foam to keep the you know

87
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,620
nice and safe they did indeed put the

88
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:04,680
Glorious logo on the Escape key and then give us the Escape key cool yeah this is

89
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,699
the pre-built it comes with everything already installed for you if you're a little afraid of building your own

90
00:06:07,020 --> 00:06:12,120
mechanical keyboard I honestly personally recommend you try it it's not

91
00:06:10,259 --> 00:06:16,440
that hard and once you know how to do it for one keyboard most of them kind of

92
00:06:14,039 --> 00:06:20,940
are at least very similar ah

93
00:06:18,660 --> 00:06:26,220
I like it there's a there's like a hollow like a hollow kind of sound going

94
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:29,520
on so I don't know I'm sure there's foam in here though it's nice and Hefty it's

95
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:34,319
definitely plastic on the bottom and then aluminum on the top

96
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,979
space bar could use a little work on the stabilizers but that's okay that can be

97
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,639
a project that you can do yourself it's honestly not that hard you got your USBC

98
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:44,699
cable there that will plug in oh you got adjustable

99
00:06:43,380 --> 00:06:48,720
feet they only have on or off I guess that's

100
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:53,340
my only complaint so far is I would love a single option in between whatever

101
00:06:51,180 --> 00:06:57,000
fully extend it is and whatever closed is for the different angle I really like

102
00:06:55,740 --> 00:07:02,520
the rubber feet though these are actually kind of crazy they've got these little studs on all of them yeah they're

103
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:06,120
all bumpy usually it's just like rubber padding and that's it so I wonder if it

104
00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:11,039
yeah I mean this thing's pretty good don't get me wrong they usually stay pretty good anyway but this should be

105
00:07:09,060 --> 00:07:15,600
hot swappable so if you don't like any of the switches you get you can just

106
00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:19,139
swap them out and you can also order this as the Bare Bones version which

107
00:07:17,639 --> 00:07:22,860
doesn't come with switches so I think this guy is like a hundred ten hundred

108
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:27,660
and twenty dollars fully assembled and then if you want the Bare Bones version you can save like 30 40 bucks and I

109
00:07:25,860 --> 00:07:31,080
think it's 80 bucks you know it all depends if you don't have a single

110
00:07:28,979 --> 00:07:34,199
keyboard yet it's definitely worth it to just get the fully kitted out one so you

111
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,759
don't have to worry about which switches to get you don't have to worry about buying keycaps anything like that but if

112
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:43,020
you're more of an Enthusiast or a hobbyist and you've already got a bunch of stuff like that then just get the

113
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:47,819
Bare Bones version honestly because you're probably gonna do a better job putting it together yourself depending

114
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:51,060
on where you want to put the foam how much foam you want to use if you want to

115
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:56,880
do any other stuff like gluing the stabilizers when you're assembling it you know anything like that we've got

116
00:07:54,060 --> 00:08:02,280
more of those red glorious switches they seem fine they seem like Reds it says

117
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:07,500
it's hot swap it is and it's five pin right on for

118
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:11,699
example these are three pin switches they absolutely could have saved a

119
00:08:09,599 --> 00:08:15,599
little bit of money probably and got three pin pcbs and it would have been

120
00:08:13,979 --> 00:08:19,259
fine but you know what they want that little bit of extra mile and they gave

121
00:08:17,580 --> 00:08:22,919
us five pin okay so you remember that thing I was

122
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,160
talking about before where the coil on the cables and you got to move it out

123
00:08:24,180 --> 00:08:29,940
like one more half rotation it kind of screws stuff up for example if I want

124
00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:35,219
this to go out to the right plug it in and everything you see how it's got this like little

125
00:08:32,820 --> 00:08:39,000
bit of a slope to it on the edge here that's what I'm talking about it's not a

126
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:43,740
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

127
00:08:41,580 --> 00:08:47,940
and put it there it's still it ah yeah see and this is happening from most

128
00:08:46,260 --> 00:08:50,640
people that I buy from like cable mod the same thing happens I bought from

129
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:54,300
like Badger cables I think they're out of business now but same thing happened

130
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:58,380
there I've made my own the same thing happens it's really hard to get this

131
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:01,800
coil like perfect so you've really got to be paying attention as you coil it

132
00:08:59,940 --> 00:09:05,880
and like when exactly to stop and then straighten out the ending with stuff

133
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:10,620
either way once it has sat somewhere for a while it'll kind of like start to just

134
00:09:08,339 --> 00:09:13,560
lay flat and it's fine and you know it's a it's a pretty minor problem to have

135
00:09:12,300 --> 00:09:19,019
it's just if you're spending all this money you want it to like be perfectly

136
00:09:15,839 --> 00:09:20,880
symmetrical like myself right now

137
00:09:19,019 --> 00:09:29,339
we're gonna do the old monkey type the classic and here we go oh that's right oh caps

138
00:09:26,580 --> 00:09:33,540
lock is on oh my God one thing to note about 65 you have a function key here

139
00:09:31,980 --> 00:09:38,220
because I don't have an afro so I can't just hit F5 I gotta go function five

140
00:09:35,820 --> 00:09:42,180
it's really not a huge deal and a lot of people need even smaller layouts they're

141
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:45,620
like yeah 40 is fine I just have like two other layers of macros

142
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:52,500
117 98 that's not bad yeah like I said

143
00:09:50,820 --> 00:09:56,880
there's like a hollow feeling to it it's not it's not terrible like this is

144
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:59,820
definitely on par with other boards that are like this where you've got

145
00:09:57,899 --> 00:10:03,420
everything visible like you can see all the switches here and I'm not crazy

146
00:10:01,620 --> 00:10:07,440
about those personally like I love the look of it but I find you don't get

147
00:10:04,740 --> 00:10:13,080
quite the same like Foxy deep sound as you do when um everything is below a

148
00:10:09,839 --> 00:10:15,779
nice top case the drop keyboards are a

149
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:21,120
big offender for this exact problem zero okay that's close enough two pounds

150
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:24,240
that's portable it's not you know crazy light or anything but you could

151
00:10:22,620 --> 00:10:27,000
definitely Chuck this in a backpack and then not really worry about it being in

152
00:10:25,740 --> 00:10:32,399
there especially if you keep that little cloth that came with it I guess that's my only other issue is sometimes when

153
00:10:31,019 --> 00:10:36,959
you're paying a little more you're also getting like a carrying case with your keyboard you're not going to get that

154
00:10:35,220 --> 00:10:40,980
here but at the price point I don't think you can complain all that much to

155
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:44,519
begin with as for everyone out there should you buy this I don't know it's a

156
00:10:42,959 --> 00:10:47,820
tough it's a tough call everyone's different everyone has different needs I

157
00:10:46,140 --> 00:10:52,560
I personally don't really want this board in particular I want a gmmk Pro 2

158
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:56,220
whenever they make the pro 2. I know there's an upgrade kit for the gmmk pro

159
00:10:54,480 --> 00:11:02,579
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

160
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:07,200
place this scale sucks uh anyway it's a full CNC aluminum body like this thing

161
00:11:04,980 --> 00:11:10,980
is actually relatively premium feeling to be perfectly honest and getting the

162
00:11:09,180 --> 00:11:15,779
slider in there on top of the knob is actually pretty nice it's like 130 US

163
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:18,899
Dollars which is really hard for some people to stomach especially when you

164
00:11:17,220 --> 00:11:23,940
can just buy like a full kit keyboard yeah I don't know man it's tough me

165
00:11:21,540 --> 00:11:27,120
personally yes I would buy this thing I think it's actually a really quality

166
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:30,720
numpad but you can absolutely find cheaper ones they're just probably not

167
00:11:28,740 --> 00:11:34,380
going to be full CNC aluminum so I definitely think that like this can be a

168
00:11:32,820 --> 00:11:38,459
really solid entry point to people looking to get into the hobby this is

169
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:41,700
more of an upgrade kind of thing down the line kind of want one now we got two

170
00:11:39,959 --> 00:11:45,120
so maybe maybe I'll try to get one from work thanks for watching everyone if you

171
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:50,220
want another hot swap board but you wanted like a really trusted brand I

172
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:54,300
guess then go for the Corsair check out the k70 pro that we just unboxed it's

173
00:11:53,220 --> 00:12:00,079
not perfect but it's hot swappable finally these

174
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,079
things are glorious I don't know
