My GMMK2 arrived today (so itās stock). I have mixed feelings. On its own it looks and feels good, although Iām not a massive fan of the metal top part and plastic bottom part as it doesnāt give a cohesive aesthetic (yes, I care how things look, sue me).
Next to the numpad it doesnāt look or feel right at all due to the different depths and angles (my Huntsman Mini actually looks like a better match next to the numpad). The colors between the two devices donāt seem to want to sync either.
Overall Iām not unhappy with it, the switches feel nice, the sound is good, but it doesnāt feel like the holy grail Iāve been trying to find. Itās possible that finding just the right wrist rest would make a lot of difference but then thatās even more stuff to mess around with.
At this point I think my next step will be to try a low profle mechanical keyboard but Iām struggling to find one I like in a UK layout. The Keychron K3 v2 looks like a viable option but Iām put off by the lack of compatibility with Kailh Chox switches (as I already bought some and would like to try them).
Update: I got a decent wrist rest and it definitely made a huge difference. I can confidently say that while the GMMK2 doesnāt look as good as the Huntsman Mini, itās a much better typing experience and it may well end up being something I use regularly. Iāve ordered a low profile mechanical logitec just to see how that feels too but Iām definitely feeling better about the GMMK2 than I initially was.

Updated my GMMK2 96% to the CannonKeys NicePBT Transformers Decepticons keycaps. Loving the look and bringing back a favorite childhood cartoon!!

Just recently finished building a GMMK2 65% board in the all-white Aura. Super impressed by the rigidity of the board and the overall build quality. Loving it so far!
