tldr; Glorious's flagship. Rotary encoder, gasket mount, but heavy and mushy stock stabs. Mod it or skip it.

“The GMMK pro was great when it came out, remember the front page being flooded with them and even got one myself when I was just getting into more premium boards. If they dropped the price to about 100-120ish they'd get much less hate”

Incredible Control: For even further modification of the keyboard experience, the GMMK PRO's pre-installed aluminum switch plate can be swapped out with alternative styles from Glorious. Swap in the Brass plate for a firmer typing feel and brighter sound. Or the Polycarbonate plate for a softer feel and deeper sound. Foam inside the case can also be added or removed to adjust the acoustic profile.
Thocky Experience Redefined: MonsGeek M1 V5 keyboard features an upgraded 5-layer noise reduction system for superior sound isolation. Paired with its gasket-mounted design, it delivers a deep, satisfying "thock" and a cushioned, comfortable typing experience right out of the box
