Aluminium top frame

Durable and thick metal composes the keyboard's entire top shell for maximum rigidity. The board's substantial weight and grippy rubber feet keep it firmly on your desk during intense gameplay. Anodisation gives the aluminium impressive scratch and corrosion resistance. Fine brushing creates a matte metallic finish that's smooth to the touch.

Custom compact layout

Vibrant RGB lighting

Quickly toggle between multiple lighting effects with key shortcuts. Fine-tune the RGB's colour and brightness on a per-key level with the Glorious Core software. The PCB's north-facing LEDs shine directly underneath each keycap's transparent legend (if using shine-through keycaps) for enhanced readability and a captivating look. RGB sidelights flank the GMMK 2's body, producing a smooth glow that subtly reflects off your desk.

5-Pin hotswap support

Swapping switches is simple with GMMK 2, no complicated soldering required. Universal 5-pin sockets accept virtually all mechanical switch options without the need for clipping feet. The board's integrated plate helps hold switches firmly in place while protecting the PCB from dust and grime.

Designed to be redesigned

Customise how the GMMK 2 sounds, feels, and performs by swapping its switch type thanks to 5-pin hotswap support. No soldering or clipping is required, just plug and play. Transform its appearance by replacing the board's keycaps with different styles from Glorious and other third-party manufacturers. Adjust lighting by toggling between the 18 pre-installed lighting effects, or fine-tune brightness and colour on a per-key level via the Glorious CORE software to perfectly match your setup. For enthusiasts users, swap the included clip-on stabilisers for PCB mount alternatives, like GSV2, that lets you lube them how you like. The board's standard USB-C 2.0 interface and removable braided cable make installing a colourful coiled option a breeze - the perfect finishing touch.

Made to stand out

Light up your desk with the GMMK 2's brilliant RGB illumination. Quickly toggle between 18-preinstalled effects using keyboard shortcuts, or fine-tune colour and brightness on a per-key level via the Glorious CORE software. The board's PCB has north-facing LEDs placed directly underneath each keycap's transparent legend for maximum shine. Glorious Fox switches use clear houses with an SMD LED cutout at the top to guarantee accurate colour. Sidelights flank the GMMK 2's body, casting a subtle shine on your desk. The RGB light they produce is nicely diffused for a consistent glow free of noticeable hotspots.

Built to perform

Reduce switch latency via software to experience virtually no input delay. 1000Hz polling rate is standard, freely choosing a debounce delay is not. Pick the fastest latency your switches can handle. The board's compact design provides ample room for wide mouse movements and keeps your arm in a natural resting position for enhanced ergonomics. Improved posture lets you maintain peak performance and combat soreness during longer gaming sessions.

Powerful software

The GMMK 2's versatility extends to its software compatibility. Easily adjust performance, lighting, macros, and more via the Glorious CORE software. For more in-depth customisation, flash QMK open-source firmware onto the board.

Addictive acoustics

The GMMK 2's quality materials, strict build requirements, and tray mounting system eliminate the potential for creaks or squeaks.

Thick dampening foam absorbs typing vibrations to produce a full-bodied sound. Lubricated stabilisers fight any pinging or rattling, producing a satisfying thock.
