Our Verdict

GLORIOUS GMMK PRO

GLORIOUS GMMK 3 PRO HE

The GLORIOUS GMMK PRO is an older model in the same product lineup as the GLORIOUS GMMK PRO 3 HE. The major difference with the newer GMMK PRO 3 HE is that it supports wireless connectivity and uses Hall-effect switches. While both keyboards have hot-swappable PCBs, the GMMK PRO 3 HE is compatible with both mechanical and hall effect switches, while the GMMK PRO is only compatible with mechanical switches. Unfortunately, the software for the newer GMMK PRO 3 HE is also significantly worse, with many features that don't work correctly.
