Glorious GMMK Eternal review
A solid, fuss-free step-up mechanical keyboard.
Glorious is targeting those who may have stuck with budget Amazon Basics keyboards and is offering the GMMK Eternal, their second entry-level peripheral in a lineup. This keyboard focuses on the basics to provide a solid step-up product. The 96% layout includes virtually all functionality, with the number pad squished and the navigation cluster moved to top.
It provides a full-size keyboard in a compact form factor, making it easy to adapt to the layout. ABS doubleshot keycaps, with texturing for grip, are present though they are not as durable as PBT. The keyboard features RGB backlighting, which can be controlled via software and on the keyboard itself. It has 3 profiles on onboard storage, but no extra ports or toggle switches for OS selection.
It weighs 886g and is priced at $100. The keyboard uses Glorious Fox linear switches, which are Cherry MX Red clones. It has been tested and found to have good consistency and smooth feel. The keyboard also features sound dampening foam layers to prevent rattle or ping. At $100, it competes with other budget mechanical keyboards, such as Ducky Zero 6108 and Keychron K8 Ultra 8K, which offer additional features like wireless connectivity, PBT keycaps, and aluminium chassis.
