Glorious Modular Keyboard (Gateron Browns)

Reds are for weebs.

The top review on GMMK's website for this board, posted 5/17/2020, has this reply from someone ostensibly who works at GMMK.. pcgamingrace.com replied: Thank you for your thorough feedback. For now, all we can tell you is that we will soon have some interesting updates / announcements about the future of our GMMK, so stay tuned. :) So, I wonder what will be announced coming soon? Let's hope they update their boards, add USB-C, improve software functionality and keep up solid QC. My KBPV60 got water and other crap into it, totally not my fault I swear.

Totally agree on the clipping switches part. If someone is willing to go through that, getting flush cutters, snip snip, they are probably equally as likely to figure out a FN key and the corresponding layers. I never said it's an impossible feat to use layers to use arrow keys, I'm just arguing arrow key use is a pretty basic function that most of the keyboard using population uses. I'd reckon most people use their arrow keys more than their function row and Home/End cluster. I'd still argue it's plug and play *with* the right additional switch purchase, and they do list what switches are compatible. Very few switches only come in PCB mount now a days. There are plentiful plate mount solutions already to go. At the end of the day I think *both* are decent entry level hot swap options, just with a different set of caveats. If we're talking apples to apples like GK61 vs GMMK Compact, It's GK61.
