Mechanisch toetsenbord GLORIOUS GMMK 3 PRO Barebones 65% bedraad USB RGB zwart

The GLORIOUS GMMK 3 PRO Barebones 65% wired USB RGB black is a compact mechanical keyboard barebones unit intended for home use. It features a 65% form factor that conserves desk space while keeping essential keys for productivity and gaming. As a barebones model, it ships without switches or keycaps so users can install their preferred mechanical switches and keycap sets. Connection is via a wired USB cable (2 m) and the keyboard supports RGB backlighting for customizable illumination.

Advantages

The keyboard's full aluminum body offers a rigid, durable base that supports stable typing and a premium feel. Its modular design, including support for 5-pin MX hotswap switches, allows straightforward installation and replacement of switches without soldering. A modular gasket system and included sound-dampening foam reduce typing noise and can improve acoustic response. The compact 65% layout balances space savings with accessibility to commonly used keys, and the wired USB interface provides a reliable, low-latency connection.
