WEBVTT

00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:09.660
Gloria sent us a bunch of stuff a whole

00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:15.120
slew of products we got their gmmk2 65 modular mechanical keyboard we got a

00:00:11.940 --> 00:00:18.359
numpad from them we got a cable gpbt

00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:20.460
premium PBT keycap set a wrist rest and

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

00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:29.580
pro let's do the cable glorious coiled

00:00:26.580 --> 00:00:31.920
cable with the crimson red color I love

00:00:29.580 --> 00:00:36.239
that crimson red USBC these can be really expensive depending on where you

00:00:33.420 --> 00:00:40.500
get them I've made these myself I have bought several from several different

00:00:37.739 --> 00:00:44.280
companies so far looks pretty good that's a decent coil here's the problem

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

00:00:46.020 --> 00:00:51.480
it from where this doesn't like come out

00:00:49.379 --> 00:00:55.680
at a straight angle perfectly so like right now this rests like this naturally

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

00:00:56.940 --> 00:01:02.460
cables it just like makes them a little off-center they're not perfect at that

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

00:01:04.260 --> 00:01:10.020
whatever anyway it's not happening Here length is pretty good uh so part of the

00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:13.860
reason why you can't get super long coils is because USB actually has like a

00:01:12.180 --> 00:01:18.960
maximum length and if we measure from end to end it is about six inches so

00:01:15.900 --> 00:01:21.720
yeah I can I can still eyeball lengths

00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:27.479
of things take that however you want um your Aviator connector this thing is

00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:31.259
purely for Aesthetics it's a five pin connector which is a little nice most of

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

00:01:32.700 --> 00:01:37.740
you screw it down and then bam so now

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:09.300
oh yeah that's kind of nice I actually strongly prefer a soft fabric and like

00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:12.660
memory foam or cooling gel or whatever yeah I think it's wood actually this

00:02:11.220 --> 00:02:17.160
could be a really nice alternative oh and the wood actually explains a lot so

00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:21.360
I saw these markings and I thought it was like scrapes on the plastic yeah the

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

00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:29.480
though is that it's got these rubber grips on the bottom so it's actually

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:36.180
like really not going anywhere we've got two numpads black and white I'm gonna

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

00:02:37.860 --> 00:02:43.019
is the black one we're opening the white one okay they're otherwise basically the

00:02:41.519 --> 00:02:47.760
same it's just a color oh this is Hefty already I think these

00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:52.019
are all aluminum so CNC aluminum 18 programmable Keys knob and slider

00:02:50.459 --> 00:02:56.280
controls actually really like it already it's got a little like Bluetooth on or

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

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

00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:06.420
bunch of RGB which is pretty nice and then you've got these little side lights

00:03:04.739 --> 00:03:10.440
as well that turn on a little hard to pick up on the camera during with

00:03:08.340 --> 00:03:14.580
certain angles and whatnot but should be fully programmable one pretty cool thing

00:03:13.019 --> 00:03:19.140
as well is that glorious is like embossed into the bottle where it's

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

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

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

00:03:28.500 --> 00:03:33.900
slider or the knob for whatever you want maybe you want the volume on the slider

00:03:31.620 --> 00:03:38.280
and you want the knob to do forward and back or something like that it sounds

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

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

00:03:44.940 --> 00:03:50.000
out yeah I'm not sure if this is gmk or

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

00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:59.640
the stabilizers sound and feel pretty good if they're

00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:03.060
not lubed then they've done a pretty good job of constructing them in a way

00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:06.480
where they're not like super scratchy or rattly construction overall is pretty

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

00:04:08.040 --> 00:04:13.799
slider we've got a keycap set for our keyboard that we're gonna get to

00:04:11.819 --> 00:04:18.780
eventually I promise this is the celestial fire version well what else we

00:04:16.440 --> 00:04:22.199
get oh my God stickers hell yeah I'm keeping this sticker it's a little

00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:26.940
excessive if you're worried about plastic packaging in products so that's

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

00:04:28.860 --> 00:04:34.860
probably these guys too I don't know if these are double shot

00:04:32.220 --> 00:04:39.120
shine through but these clearly are so if that matters a lot to you then it

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

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

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

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

00:04:53.220 --> 00:04:58.919
I recommend heatron so much is simply

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

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

00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:10.139
sizes and stuff but gmmk is definitely a

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

00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:20.040
Glorious symbol no it's just the Escape key okay uh this is the fully assembled

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

00:05:23.280 --> 00:05:31.740

start playing enlisted for free you'll also get a free bonus for signing up

00:05:51.539 --> 00:05:59.759
keyword time all right they got a nice little soft foam to keep the you know

00:05:56.400 --> 00:06:01.620
nice and safe they did indeed put the

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

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

00:06:07.020 --> 00:06:12.120
mechanical keyboard I honestly personally recommend you try it it's not

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

00:06:14.039 --> 00:06:20.940
are at least very similar ah

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

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

00:06:28.080 --> 00:06:34.319
definitely plastic on the bottom and then aluminum on the top

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

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

00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:44.699
cable there that will plug in oh you got adjustable

00:06:43.380 --> 00:06:48.720
feet they only have on or off I guess that's

00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:53.340
my only complaint so far is I would love a single option in between whatever

00:06:51.180 --> 00:06:57.000
fully extend it is and whatever closed is for the different angle I really like

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

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

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

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

00:07:12.900 --> 00:07:19.139
swap them out and you can also order this as the Bare Bones version which

00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:22.860
doesn't come with switches so I think this guy is like a hundred ten hundred

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:07:54.060 --> 00:08:02.280
more of those red glorious switches they seem fine they seem like Reds it says

00:07:59.400 --> 00:08:07.500
it's hot swap it is and it's five pin right on for

00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:11.699
example these are three pin switches they absolutely could have saved a

00:08:09.599 --> 00:08:15.599
little bit of money probably and got three pin pcbs and it would have been

00:08:13.979 --> 00:08:19.259
fine but you know what they want that little bit of extra mile and they gave

00:08:17.580 --> 00:08:22.919
us five pin okay so you remember that thing I was

00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:26.160
talking about before where the coil on the cables and you got to move it out

00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:29.940
like one more half rotation it kind of screws stuff up for example if I want

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

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

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

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

00:08:46.260 --> 00:08:50.640
people that I buy from like cable mod the same thing happens I bought from

00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:54.300
like Badger cables I think they're out of business now but same thing happened

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

00:08:56.160 --> 00:09:01.800
coil like perfect so you've really got to be paying attention as you coil it

00:08:59.940 --> 00:09:05.880
and like when exactly to stop and then straighten out the ending with stuff

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

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

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

00:09:15.839 --> 00:09:20.880
symmetrical like myself right now

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

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

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

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

00:09:40.500 --> 00:09:45.620
like yeah 40 is fine I just have like two other layers of macros

00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:52.500
117 98 that's not bad yeah like I said

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

00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:59.820
definitely on par with other boards that are like this where you've got

00:09:57.899 --> 00:10:03.420
everything visible like you can see all the switches here and I'm not crazy

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

00:10:04.740 --> 00:10:13.080
quite the same like Foxy deep sound as you do when um everything is below a

00:10:09.839 --> 00:10:15.779
nice top case the drop keyboards are a

00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:21.120
big offender for this exact problem zero okay that's close enough two pounds

00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:24.240
that's portable it's not you know crazy light or anything but you could

00:10:22.620 --> 00:10:27.000
definitely Chuck this in a backpack and then not really worry about it being in

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

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

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

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

00:10:42.959 --> 00:10:47.820
tough it's a tough call everyone's different everyone has different needs I

00:10:46.140 --> 00:10:52.560
I personally don't really want this board in particular I want a gmmk Pro 2

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

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

00:10:59.880 --> 00:11:07.200
place this scale sucks uh anyway it's a full CNC aluminum body like this thing

00:11:04.980 --> 00:11:10.980
is actually relatively premium feeling to be perfectly honest and getting the

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

00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:18.899
Dollars which is really hard for some people to stomach especially when you

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

00:11:21.540 --> 00:11:27.120
personally yes I would buy this thing I think it's actually a really quality

00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:30.720
numpad but you can absolutely find cheaper ones they're just probably not

00:11:28.740 --> 00:11:34.380
going to be full CNC aluminum so I definitely think that like this can be a

00:11:32.820 --> 00:11:38.459
really solid entry point to people looking to get into the hobby this is

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

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

00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:50.220
want another hot swap board but you wanted like a really trusted brand I

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

00:11:53.220 --> 00:12:00.079
not perfect but it's hot swappable finally these

00:11:56.880 --> 00:12:00.079
things are glorious I don't know
