The Glorious GMMK Full-Size Barebone (ANSI) in black – Version 1 is a customizable mechanical keyboard barebone in a classic 100% ANSI layout , offering enthusiasts and DIY fans a solid foundation for their own custom builds. Unlike later versions such as the GMMK 2 model, Version 1 forgoes some of the newer modifications, but scores points with reliable core technology: a robust chassis, hot-swap support, and easy modularity. As a barebone keyboard, it is shipped without switches and keycaps , allowing you to select and install these components according to your own preferences – such as typing feel, sound, or appearance. The keyboard supports per-key RGB backlighting with numerous effects and can be configured via the included software. Hot-swap sockets allow for the easy replacement of MX-style switches without soldering, making it easy to get started with personalized setups.
