  In that case, is this keyboard worth it? My answer is: if you have money to spare, maybe, if you don't just find a cheaper alternative. Good luck!

 The Gateron brown switches this keyboard is bundled with, they do not compare with Cherry browns. The font on the keycaps, I am not sure who designed them, but it should not get a bonus this year..

Not impressed...

 - A right-angled USB adapter is included. - Removable USB cable is included. - The USB cable is braided and feels very solid. I would feel comfortable traveling with it

 - Noticeable echo / pinging noise when typing due to the hollow case. This is not as bad as a Massdrop CTRL, possibly due to the bottom plastic. - Cheap, noisy stabilizers. I recommend replacing them immediately with quality GMK plate stabilizers

 This keyboard is easy to clean! - Hotswap switch sockets work as advertised. - Keycap and switch removers are included. - A right-angled USB adapter is included. - Removable USB cable is included

  The good:  - No key chatter. (double key presses / failed debounce) - Floating keycap design. This keyboard is easy to clean! - Hotswap switch sockets work as advertised. - Keycap and switch removers are included

Very convenient and reliable modular keyboard

 Granted, even the switches it comes with are great already. Gateron makes good products, and I especially like their Browns compared to the Cherry version -Minimalist case design. This keyboard case itself is a relatively hefty black aluminum rectangle, with a striking mirror-polished bevel going across its upper edge. Not drab, but also not ostentatious  Cons: -Noisy stabilizers

A versatile and satisfying keyboard, with some room for improvement

 Some have complained about this but I find it unobtrusive and classy. The mounting plate is aluminum and feels cool to the touch, giving the board solid heft and a premium feel. The plate mount makes the board very easy to clean.  The bottom of the board has a keycap-puller in a socket: a nice touch, it won't get lost

 The downside with replacing them is that the stock caps have the special function keys labeled, and a replacement would require memorizing them or using a cheap sheet. Still I plan to replace these as soon as possible.  Ultimately this kb is a great value and is all user-servicable. I will consider picking up another one, since I have too many computers around here with crappy keyboards

 The plate mount makes the board very easy to clean.  The bottom of the board has a keycap-puller in a socket: a nice touch, it won't get lost. It includes a separate metal keyswitch puller as well. The USB cable is long and braided

 This is a great value for a hot swap keyboard, as you can easily spend twice this much.  I was looking for Cherry clear or brown switches and was a little reluctant to go for Gateron browns, but since these are replaceable decided there was no real risk. As it turns out I like the Gaterons, they have a soft audible "clack" when bottoming out and a decent tactile feel. Previously I was using a cheap board with Outemu blues that were very noisy, so this is a great improvement

Great Value

Might break your USB port, it did mine.

 So I was looking for something quieter with some tactility. I went with browns, I know most enthusiasts hate browns again not the cool kid switches but I like them. They are much quieter and to me they feel nice. I think people should try things for themselves before deciding they hate something based off someone else's opinion on Reddit

  Another thing, the key caps that come with the keyboard are okay quality, they are not PBT and do not feel great. The ones in the picture are the PBT keys I got for 20.00 on Amazon. I like the contrast

I like this keyboard. I think the frame is well made and feels like good quality. I prefer a full board, I know that is not the cool thing to do right now but I am not a very cool guy. My last keyboard was a low quality blue switch 'clicky' board

 It is very difficult to swap out switches and that is not the idea that was sold to me. 2) There is a quality control issue with the switches. Some of them have an incredibly annoying 'ping' noise when you type on them. This is on some switches and not on others

Pretty nice intro level mechanical keyboard with some quality control issues.

 So my rating reflects paying more for less and buying from a reseller, loosing Glorious's support were I to have an issue...

I was so-so on what I paid for VS what I should have been offered

 If you're new to gaming and/or mechanical keyboards, I think it's safe to say this is by far the best value for your money, and a $109 Glorious 104 keyboard is better money spent than a $45 one that looks similar on here. Nice quality, hot swap, and looks great, with real customer support at their website by someone with English as their first language who sends helpful, thought through replies. I highly recommend this keyboard, and would have saved a lot of money over the years if I found these earlier on in my searching.

Awesome keyboard, great price, and great customer service @ Glorious's website.

  You can import and export your settings to the software, though there is no profile log in for specific users to access to save settings on a server or anything like that. But you could just reinstall the software on the new computer and bring a usb drive and import your settings? Wow just saying all that seemed like more hassle then I want to go thru for some rgb lights, so yea pass.  I asked the companies discord chat where they say you can go for support, about this lack of rgb lights when computer was off, and was told that I didnt need lights when computer was off. Ok odd

 These keycaps that come with the board have function key information built onto the keys. The board itself has some hard wired built in functions for rgb that you can use WITHOUT the software.  Sure you wont be able to customize each key without the software but you can still use the function keys and pressing the right keys to input commands for the board to change colors and rgb style effects. BUT if you buy any other keycaps to customize the board, you will no longer have these marked labeled keys to know what to press to do what

 then you might be more concerned with having saved settings at all time. Either way, its not currently an option to take your saved setting on your board.

 So just keep that in mind if you decide to swap out keycaps, cause you could be removing a lot of the rgb lights needed to make this keyboard look really cool.  More about keycaps.

I am pleased with this purchase but it does have some issues.

  I like tactile with lowest sound and resistance, over clicky and linear switches. So I would have gone with Brown switches anyways. Luckily, Glorious offers Gateron Brown in this prebuild. Saves me time and money to not buy the bareboned keyboard + switches + keys + installation

 Another is for Windows/Menu key disabling.  Pros: - Top of keyboard is made of metal. Build is quite solid. - Keys feels quite solid

 Can only save 3 custom RGB color profiles. Can save macros. Cannot disable keys or substitute keys. GMMK software is needed to switch profile

 Build is quite solid. - Keys feels quite solid. - No edge border on the keyboard. I like this style
