Show off your GMMK PRO Builds

My latest Glorious build, the GMMK Pro.

First time with Glorious Lynx switches. The mix of Gateron Blue/Green is my go to for special keys. My GMMK TKL has the same, but with Glorious Pandas on the primary keys. Akko Cherry profile keycaps.

Keyboard: GMMK Pro
Mods: Tape mod, StupidFish case & plate foam
Plate: AVX Works FR4 plate
Switches: Everglide Aqua Kings Stock
Stabilizers: Durock V2s
Keycaps: PolyCaps Hippo PBT Keycaps
Cable: Glorious Nebula Coiled Cable

I’m loving this as my first real custom keyboard. I’ve tried hand lubed Glorious Pandas and now using the Aqua Kings. I have another GMMK pro on the way currently and looking forward to trying some different combinations between the two to compare and find what my overall preference is in switches, plates, keycaps, etc.

Dang; I feel left out. Here is mine.

:stuck_out_tongue:
I Don’t own one yet.
Disclaimer: just a keyboard with a knob placed on top of keycap.
I bought for the pro when I wanted one. This keyboard does not have a knob.

So nice! With the gilded cap, should try throwing a gold knob on the other side to create some golden symmetry.

That looks awesome. I just picked up a Taihao Mykonos and Spring in Kyoto set. Looking forward to the Kyoto set even more now.

That was YOUR gmmk pro I saw on google images awhile back, lol? Cool. Nice board btw.

I like that gradient cap set. And the guild cap is a super nice accent. Beautiful build!

Thank you. I’m really pleased with the new additions. Kinda makes me wish the led’s were north facing though lol. Glorious, can we get some deeper, side printed, and backlit keycaps?

This is CLEAN.

Did you have any issues using that style of rotary knob with the D post on the GMMK Pro?

Not at all, I just made sure to keep the knob a tad in the air when tightening the screw so I could still press it. Other than that, the knob diameter is spot on, doesn’t interfere with the case.

Those are dangerous words round these parts. I like your style dude

Thanks for the info. I’ve been looking at some I found on Etsy, so I was wondering. Might actually pick some of these up since they’re so inexpensive.

Thank you, partner. Either that or some taller side print backlit keycaps…

I feel like its a pretty vanilla build, but I really just needed another excuse to type on this keyboard so here I am.
This is my first custom keyboard, I regret not knowing about this sooner. I spent about the same on my last keyboard from Razer and its not even something they can compare to.

I went with the Gateron Reds and installed GSV2 stabs. Holee modded the stabs and lubed the switches. I have no doubt there are better switches etc. but wow this is a whole new experience for typing. Next is a glorious mouse.

edit: some of the keyboards in here :drooling_face:

Doesn’t matter how basic a build is my friend, as long as you’re happy with the end results. Typing/gaming on a custom board is such a completely different experience, especially if you’ve tuned it to how you like.

The Guild has a lot of people with different degrees of experience and areas of expertise. So don’t hesitate to ask questions if you want some help or suggestions with future projects.

I just convince a buddy of mine to get the Pro. He has some boards in the arena but none quite as hefty. It was great to hear that he is enjoying it. It was even better when it got to work and informed me of his slight disappointment with his work build now having experienced the pro.

As @8-Bit_Bootcamp said, if you like it, it’s right for you. This whole community is based on preference.
