The Rotary Knob
Removing the Rotary Knob

- Brace the keyboard with your other hand.
- Slowly but firmly pull the knob directly upward until it’s completely free from the keyboard.
a. Note: If you’re having trouble removing the knob, removing the keyboard’s top frame may make the process easier.
Installing the Rotary Knob
- Grab the knob you want to install and look underneath for the semicircle-shaped mounting insert.
- Align the knob’s insert with the matching shape on the keyboard's exposed metal post.
- Once aligned, press the knob onto the post slowly and firmly until it stops moving.
- To confirm it's properly installed, press the knob and listen for a click.
The Badge
Removing the Badge
- Use your thumb to slide the keyboard’s magnetic badge out of position. The direction is determined by your GMMK 3’s size.
a. 65%: Slide badge to the right
b. 75% & 100%: Slide upward
Installing the Badge
- Align the new badge with the empty badge slot, ensuring the Glorious head logo is closer to the edge of the keyboard.
- Allow the badge slot’s magnet to snap the badge into place.
