Glorious GMMK 2 (75%/Glorious Panda or Fox Hot-Swap/Wired USB-C/QMK-VIA/Rotary Encoder) Review
Glorious GMMK 2 75% hot-swappable mechanical keyboard, QMK/VIA support, rotary encoder, screw-in stabilizers, gasket-cushioned plate mount.
The GMMK 2 is Glorious's second-generation custom board, replacing the original GMMK's basic tray mount with a gasket-cushioned plate, adding factory-lubed screw-in stabilizers, and finally shipping with real QMK/VIA support out of the box rather than proprietary software. A rotary volume knob and swappable switch plates round out a board built to be opened up and tuned.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against the Glorious GMMK Pro, the GMMK 2 is the more affordable, plastic-cased option that keeps the same gasket-cushioned philosophy and QMK/VIA support without the Pro's CNC aluminum shell. Compared with the Keychron Q3 Max, the GMMK 2 stays wired-only, trading wireless flexibility for a lower price and Glorious's own Panda/Fox factory switch options.
