Review: love this keyboard - This keyboard looks amazing and its so easily customizable. It's well built and very durable and feels like a premium product. I've always loved a keypad on my keyboards and was very happy this has the keypad for switches to be installed at. However make sure you get caps without a wide zero key for the numpad as that won't fit. Also, while it is "white" on the bottom, the size that you see facing you is actually silver.
Review: Good But With A Few Problems - Overall, this is a good barebones keyboard for the price. You get a lot of customization via the software which is neat. Build quality doesn't feel the most premium but definitely not bad either. My biggest problem I have is when I updated the firmware to version 0009 it completed bricked the RGB and would not light up or respond on the software, the way I fixed it was FN + ESC then F1 + F3 + F5 (Hold for 10 Seconds.) Everything worked fine after doing the factory reset but I get some occasional flickering on the side RGB light that I did not have before updating the firmware. If you can get this keyboard on sale, I would recommend it, just don't update the software and save your self the headache.

## Features

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GMMK 2 96 - Great hardware, Software not so much.
*by P***Y on March 24, 2023*

This board is great I have zero complaints. It can support 5 pin switches, and these are north side facing leds. If you already know what switches you are going to put in this board you cant beat the price. You will want to lubricate and tune the stabilizers, or just replace them altogether. To me the stock didn't sound/feel great stock. Aside from the stabilizers the board sounds great out of the box. The unit feels very solid, and the build quality is awesome. The software misses the mark completely. Glorious Core would not load at all. Normal troubleshooting yielded no results. Clean boot/compatibility modes/admin mode/uninstall/reinstall nothing really worked. Personally I would ditch the Glorious Core software and use QMK. I think its worth the time investment in learning how to use QMK with your GMMK2. If your Glorious Core experience was anything like mine it may be a lot less frustrating.
