Glorious GMMK 3 TKL (TKL/Pre-Lubed Hot-Swap Mechanical/Tri-Mode Wireless + Wired/South-Facing RGB) Review
Glorious's follow-up to the GMMK Pro shows up under "GMMK 3," now available in a TKL size with wireless connectivity the original never had.
We'd recommend it to anyone who liked the GMMK Pro's gasket-mounted feel but wanted wireless and a bigger, more forgiving TKL layout.
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.
