Glorious Gaming, a Dallas-based company specializing in PC gaming peripherals, has just announced the GMMK 3, its most expansive keyboard portfolio ever launched at one time. With over 1 billion different hardware configurations, the GMMK 3 series sets a new standard in keyboard customization.
Empowering gamers with full control
Glorious Gaming believes that gamers should have more control over their peripherals. Rather than dictating what features a keyboard should have, the GMMK 3 empowers users to customize every element, from its aesthetics to the typing experience and performance, tailoring the keyboard to fit their unique gaming needs and preferences.
According to a recent study by Glorious, more than 85% of gamers view keyboard customization as important, with over half of them regularly changing keycaps. With the GMMK 3, Glorious simplifies the process, allowing users to customize far more than just keycaps—every aspect of the keyboard is open to personalization.
Your keyboard, your style
The GMMK 3 offers gamers seven different aesthetic customization points, giving them total control over the look of their keyboard. Whether they want to match it with their gaming setup, home office, or personal style, users can easily swap out the top frame, bottom frame, rotary knob, emblem, USB cable, keycaps, and barebones independently. This flexibility allows for a truly unique keyboard, designed to reflect the individual’s personality and gaming style.
A fully tailored typing experience
Beyond just looks, the GMMK 3 lets users customize their typing experience with three key elements: switches, barebones, and O-rings. Gamers can choose from a variety of 14 switch options, including linear, tactile, clicky, and silent switches, available in both mechanical and Hall Effect (HE) versions. These options allow users to find the perfect balance between sound and feel, whether they prefer quiet, dampened strokes or loud, sharp clicks.
GMMK 3 also offers adjustable barebones made from materials like plexiglass, FR4, aluminum, or brass, and switch modules with O-rings in hard or soft silicone. This modular system ensures that users can fine-tune the typing experience to match their exact needs, whether they’re deep into gaming or simply typing away.
Introducing Hall Effect magnetic switches
With the GMMK 3, gamers no longer have to compromise between style and performance. This is the first Glorious GMMK keyboard to feature Hall Effect (HE) magnetic switches, a technology designed for gamers who demand the highest performance. These switches support rapid actuation, adjustable activation points, and 4:1 dynamic keystrokes. All GMMK 3 HE keyboards are compatible with 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches, giving users the flexibility to mix and match HE and mechanical switches for the ultimate typing experience.
Among the HE switches launching with GMMK 3 are fan-favorite models like the tactile Panda, the linear Fox, and the clicky Raptor, each making its debut in an HE version. This variety ensures that users can experience the full spectrum of keyboard switch performance without feeling locked into a single option.
A complete ecosystem of accessories
The GMMK 3 family is supported by a wide array of accessories that allow users to take full advantage of its modular design. With color options ranging from pink and blue to green, red, black, and white, gamers can find the perfect combination to suit their tastes.
Launching alongside the GMMK 3 is a new service called Boardsmith, which provides gamers with a unique way to design and purchase their dream keyboard. Boardsmith offers a step-by-step customization guide, helping users choose from a range of colored frames, limited-edition keycaps, switches, and barebones. This makes the process accessible to everyone, from first-time builders to seasoned enthusiasts, complete with audio samples and images to ensure users know exactly what they’re getting before their order arrives.
Every Boardsmith keyboard is hand-assembled by Glorious in Dallas, Texas, and shipped directly to the customer’s door, ensuring a premium, personalized experience.
