THE GMMK BAREBONE EDITION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

glorious gmmk barebone review 12t

With a length of 439mm, width of 128mm and height of just 16mm (keycaps not included) the GMMK Barebone model is almost just as large as most "no-thrills" keyboards.

 

 

Here you can see the open sockets for the mechanical switches (you can also see the RGB LEDs - the switches don't have LED's on them).

 

 

The sandblasted aluminum top plate looks nice and feels quite durable.

 

 

Turning the keyboard over we see 4 rubber feet, plastic keycap puller and two height adjusters.

 

 

These height adjusters can raise the top end of the keyboard roughly 12mm from your desk.

 

 

After mounting all 105 keys you will still have 15 switches left.

 

 

Prior to mounting the switches be sure to check that not any of the pins are bend.

 

 

Glorious bundles a red escape button which some people may like more.

 

 

With all the keycaps mounted the height of the keyboard increases to 30mm.

 

 


F1 through F11 are typically used as windows shortcuts and multimedia keys (you can also control the direction of the effects along with their brightness setting from the -/+ keys).

 

 

You can also use the print screen and pause keys to switch between 6-key and N-key rollover while the insert, home, delete, end and page up/down keys can be used to switch between effects.

 

 

At the end of the 2 meter long braided cable we find a gold plated USB plug with a plastic cap.
