Aluminum Top Frame

Provides superior strength with a satisfying weight. Anodization gives the aluminum impressive scratch and corrosion resistance. Fine brushing creates a matte finish that’s smooth to the touch.

Custom Compact Layout

GMMK 2 Compact TKL (65%) uses a hybrid layout that perfectly combines form and function, retaining the small form factor of 60% keyboards while keeping important arrow and side navigation keys.

it really is glorious...
I added fox switches and polychroma rgb keycaps to my gmmk 2 because I was looking for max rgb. I love the feel and sound, and the light show is just amazing. You picked the right name for this company, because this keyboard really is gloroius.

Great Keyboard, The feedback is
Great Keyboard, The feedback is amazing. very comfortable feel to type consistently. I would say I wish they could come out with a bluetooth adapter for the builds if you wanted to convert to bluetooth or build one from the beginning with bluetooth.
