Our Verdict

Corsair K70 CORE

GLORIOUS GMMK 3

Both the Corsair K70 CORE and the GLORIOUS GMMK 3 are full-size mechanical gaming keyboards. The Corsair has superior raw performance, build quality, and typing quality. It also includes a wrist rest, which the GLORIOUS lacks. Comparatively, while the GLORIOUS is available as a prebuilt model, you can choose to customize it at purchase with different color options, materials, and features.
