Perfect for a beginning keeb enthusiast.
Board was perfect when it came. Really liked the keycap set that came on it, so much so that I actually gave it to my s/o for her RGB keyboard to upgrade the stock caps (she likes the lighting coming through the caps, so most aftermarket sets are out the window).
I bought this for switch testing which it excels at. No rattling when shaking the whole keyboard, so the plate holds all the switches well.
Swapped the Browns for Kailh Plums and thoroughly enjoy it.
Removable cable is great on the TKL.
Only complaints are rattly stabilizers that I plan on lubing down the line and pinging when hitting certain keys, but that's probably due to the stabilizers too.
Worth the money in my opinion.

So have been using this keeb as a daily, as I have yet to save up for anything too special. Lubed stabs with dielectric grease and teflon lube as per Nathan Kim's tutorial. For someone who never lubed a keyboard before, it was literally life changing. The rattle went away and I was finding myself looking for a reason to type. Literally am now in a habit of starting studying with a typing test before typing anything academic lol. Also have filled this board with some shelf liner from Home Depot. Kind of a tight fit, as there is very little space between the pcb and the back case, but one strip is fine for the lower half of the keyboard. Made the sound alot more isolated, not really deeper in any acoustic sense, and the keeb heavier, which is nice. Doing the cut outs for the shelf liner took about 2 hours of trial and error, but I would still do it again.
By sounding more isolated, I mean that the keys and keycaps sounds themselves come out more, not longer echoing as much. Though, now that it is isolated, I can easily hear the spring ping present in the Kailh Pro Plums I have been using. Not the keyboard's fault.
Have tried two DSA PBT keysets on this keyboard, both with warped spacebars. Drove me quite insane, so I opted back to the stock Cherry spacebar this keyboard came with and all is well. The DSA PBT sounded really good, lower in pitch than stock keyset.
Currently am typing on my newest set, first ever aftermarket Cherry set that is also in PBT. Typing is fine, though this keyset actually brings out the spring ping in the Plums alot more than the DSA sets. Though, the keyset on whole is even lower than the DSA sets in pitch, so I enjoy it alot more. Just my preference.
Oh, also, when I took apart the keyboard, one of the plate mounting points to the plastic case swelled up? I do not know how to explain it, but on my third time taking apart the keyboard, the plate screw next to the caps lock warped the plastic threads and made the plate and pcb legitimately impossible to take off the back case without breaking the whole plastic stem. May have been my fault, possibly overtightening during my second reassembling, but that particular screw stem was also very tight during the first two disassembles. Just a heads up.
I'm very pleased with this keyboard. Initially I was unhappy that the TKL version with switches/keycaps sold out (even though I replaced keycaps with a double-shot PBT shipped from China). However, the lack of extra spacing around the board makes the 10-key version actually feel better for my use and space. In the end it worked out for me.
Shipping was early. The keyboard feels heavy and solid, the rubber pads grip well and hold everything in place, and the Gateron brown switches work well for me (may not be perfect for everyone else, of course). I probably won't use the modularity going forward, because I'm really happy about the current keycap and switch combo. However, it's nice that it's there.
The software is basic, but works very well for setting lighting and macros. It may not have all the options you want, but sometimes the software from the giants (Logitech et al.) does not as well. For lighting it is on par, or perhaps better, than Logitech. And as an actual mechanical keyboard...way ahead.
Keyboard is great, reason for 4 stars is the stabilizers are noisy. If the stabilizers were quieter and the USB cable was removable the keyboard would be perfect.
I've been pretty cheap so far and only purchased cheaper mechanical keyboards off of Amazon. Both of the 'nicer' mechanical keyboards I've bought so far had blues. I ordered browns with this keyboard and the experience is amazing. If you are either looking to get into nicer mechanical keyboards for a bit less, or if you are like me and have only 'mostly liked' the cheaper options, I'd say give this a go!
+ build, heft, feel, illumination, form factor
- micro usb in 2019, media keys are mapped differently than every other keyboard I currently have
Bought a TKL barebones GMMK and it came with a newer model TKL than what was being sold on the GMMK website so that was nice having the latest model that uses this latest firmware/software. Only downside is the outdated micro-usb as the PCB connection, but luckily the newest white model are now made using USB-C.
I'll get straight to the point and I won't go into too much detail,
THE BAD: the keyboards chrome trim came HEAVILY scratched so yeah that sucks, the stock stabilizers are HORRIBLE i could not save them even by lubing and clipping, make sure to order some gmk stabs. The actual hot swap works ok, I have noticed several times that when I pull a keycap the actual switch comes with it. Also the RGB's are very dim along with the black backplate.
THE GOOD: Great keyboard to test switches on, very good for a first time builder who wants to say lube their switches and stabs like I did, I love the cable its a high quality braided cable, overall if you build this thing with gmk stabs and lubed switches of your choice, In my humble opinion this will feel better then anything you could buy prebuilt like, Ducky, Varmillo, Leopold, ETC. But remember it all comes down to preference :)
