Glorious GMMK 3 TKL Review

The Glorious GMMK 3 TKL is a tenkeyless hot-swap mechanical keyboard with pre-lubed switches, tri-mode Bluetooth, 2.4GHz and wired USB-C, double-shot PBT keycaps and south-facing per-key RGB.

A TKL keyboard that connects by Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless or wired USB-C. Hot-swap sockets let you change switches without soldering, and it ships with pre-lubed switches, Glorious Panda or Lynx, or a user-selected set. The keycaps are double-shot PBT, and south-facing RGB is set behind each key. Wired polling reaches up to 8000 Hz, which matters mostly to competitive players. The tenkeyless layout has no number pad but is wider than a 75% board.

What's New Over the GMMK Pro

The GMMK 3 adds tri-mode wireless, screw-in stabilizers from the factory, and pre-lubed switches out of the box, all fixes for common complaints about the original GMMK Pro's stock stabilizers.

A Bigger, More Practical Layout

Moving to TKL keeps the number pad's absence but adds back the arrow cluster and navigation keys some buyers missed on the compact 75% GMMK Pro.

Comparison to Alternatives

Against Glorious's own GMMK Pro, the GMMK 3 TKL fixes the stock stabilizer complaints and adds wireless, at the cost of a slightly larger footprint, a clear upgrade for anyone not attached to the 75% size. Against the Drop CTRL, both are TKL hot-swap boards, the GMMK 3 wins on wireless connectivity, while the CTRL has a longer track record in the DIY keyboard community.
