Glorious GMMK 3 Pro HE Wireless 75% Pre-built Gaming Keyboard, schwarz, LEDs RGB, Glorious Fox HE, USB/Bluetooth, ND

In der bereits dritten Auflage präsentiert uns Glorious seine die neuen Tastaturen. Die GMMK 3 ist eine Tastaturserie, die vom Umfang und den Details im Bereich der Custom-Tastaturen angesiedelt ist. Die umfangreichen Modellvarianten sollten keine Wünsche offenlassen. Wir schauen uns das neue Modell im Test ausführlich an.

Glorious bewirbt seine Gmmk-3-Pro-HE-Tastatur mit Hall-Effekt-Schaltern als "die letzte Tastatur", die Sie jemals kaufen müssen. Nach sechs Wochen täglicher Nutzung können wir feststellen: Es ist eine wirklich wunderbare Tastatur, es gibt nur einige kleine Macken, die man beachten sollten, bevor man auf die Schaltfläche "Kaufen" drückt.

Individuell gestaltbare Gaming-Tastaturen sind bei Spielern aktuell genauso gefragt wie Hall-Effekt-Magnetswitches, die Rapid Trigger, Snap Tap und einstellbare Auslösepunkte möglich machen. Die Glorious GMMK 3 HE bietet beides und will mit dieser Kombination bei der zockenden Zielgruppe punkten. Mich jedenfalls hat das modulare Modell von der Stange überzeugt.

I would be a lot more positive here had the keyboard even came close to justifying its asking price. But there are simply too many issues to ignore—especially at launch time when most eyes are on the product. Even things as simple as software bugs that should have been ironed out long ago, or both inconsistent and mediocre stabilizers which make the keyboard sound and feel worse than many $100-150 keyboards on the market to me. A lot of this are thankfully being resolved as we speak, with Glorious having addressed some of my issues via keyboard firmware and software updates during the course of my testing. But the issue remains that some base factors with the keyboard user experience should be better, especially when some can get this keyboard to cross the $600 mark based on how it is configured—The bar is significantly higher now compared to the $100-150 mark. I am also not a fan of the occasional Bluetooth issues, even if Glorious is correct about most people using 2.4 GHz wireless mode here anyway. But then there are sacrifices made on the battery life front, especially if you go with the HE versions where the sensors are always active. A 3000 mAh battery is not great in the best of times, and having it be the same across all three sizes was never going to be good for a 100% keyboard. Overall I'd say the user experience with a keyboard that you are paying multiple hundreds of dollars for has been less than ideal. It's a shame because there are truly multiple novel and highly user-friendly things to appreciate here—the ability to simultaneously have HE and MX switches is very cool, and we have multiple non-linear HE switch options too—yet the Glorious GMMK 3 feels like it will be remembered for its shortcomings during the first couple of months since the keyboard was launched. Glorious tells me the software team is hard at work ironing out some of these issues, and they also take feedback/feature requests seriously. I have seen this first-hand, and I will give them props for taking feedback positively. I will certainly consider doing a review of a pre-built version a few months down the line to see how things are looking then, but for now the GMMK 3 is a tough recommendation.
