Our Verdict

HHKB Studio

GLORIOUS GMMK PRO

THE GLORIOUS GMMK PRO and the HHKB Studio are mechanical keyboards designed with different uses in mind. The GLORIOUS is designed primarily for gaming and has significantly better raw performance. It also has a slightly larger form factor with dedicated arrow keys, a control knob, and a dedicated f-row. Lastly, it provides significantly more freedom for hardware customizability and is available at purchase in an extremely wide range of configurations. Comparatively, the HHKB has a smaller compact (60%) form factor but incorporates several uncommon productivity-focused features, such as mouse buttons, gesture pads, and a 'pointing stick' that acts like a mouse cursor. The HHKB also connects wirelessly via Bluetooth with up to four devices simultaneously, while the GLORIOUS is a wired-only model.
