Choosing Between Barebones, Prebuilt, or Boardsmith

As the world’s most customizable keyboard, you decide where to begin your GMMK 3 customization journey. Let's explore the benefits of each three starting points!

Glorious Boardsmith

Boardsmith lets you virtually customize your GMMK 3’s gaming performance, typing experience, and aesthetics. Once you’ve placed your order, our team assembles it and sends it straight to your door. It’s ready to use, out of the box! It’s a great option for those who want a personalized board without having to build it themselves. You can always customize your GMMK 3 further down the line with our expansive ecosystem of accessories.

Prebuilt vs. Barebones

Want to dive into the GMMK 3 right away, but keep your options open for customization later? You can choose from our ready-to-use Prebuilt boards or go for Barebones if you prefer to handpick your own keycaps and switches. Both styles are available on our website or at your local retailer.

Prebuilt Versions

Prebuilt keyboards are ready to use out of the box. Since all GMMKs are hotswappable (no soldering required to swap switches) and modular, customizing your keycaps, switches, top and bottom case, internal components, and all other accessories is easy (and fun!).

Barebones Versions

Barebones keyboards offer a fully functioning keyboard base without keycaps or switches included. This is a great option if you already own the switches and keycaps you want to use.

GMMK 3 PRO vs. GMMK 3

The GMMK 3 is available in both PRO and standard versions. While they both offer exceptional modularity and top-notch quality, there are a few important differences to keep in mind.

GMMK 3 PRO

The GMMK 3 PRO is built with a fully aluminum body, giving it serious durability and weight so it won’t budge during intense gaming.

Alongside its premium feel, PRO models are available with wireless connectivity for a cable-free aesthetic and seamless compatibility with all your devices.

GMMK 3

The GMMK 3 is a great option for anyone looking to dive into customization without starting with the most premium option. Its polymer case is lightweight and durable, great for using at your desk or on-the-go.

And if you decide you want a metal keyboard down the line, the GMMK 3’s swappable cases lets you easily replace the included polymer with premium aluminum in minutes.
