We’re back to the ultra-popular GMMK Pro mechanical keyboard! This time we’re testing Glorious' own solution to address one of the biggest complaints people had with the GMMK Pro’s original design: how to increase its plate flex without sacrificing the keyboard’s aesthetics.
In this video I test the new FlexKit in two of its many possible configurations and compare the final result to those you can obtain with cheaper O-rings mod. Does this kit deliver? Can the GMMK Pro Flex now? Let’s find out!
Let’s take an in-depth look at Glorious' attempt to update its GMMK Pro's two years old design with a new gasket and plate mounting system in their new GMMK Pro FlexKit.
