Shipping show it would take
"Shipping show it would take 2 - 4 days. But it actually took like 3 weeks, from EU to UK. When I didn't get it after about a week, I email to check and they were really helpful. So no big deal. Hence why the 5 stars."

Good swappable key switches
"They last. I put lube and gaskets on them as well and they are still smooth"
So far so good. Clicky

The OG Switches
"Nice smooth feeling. Cool for beginners"
Very OG, would reccomend for any keyboard.
"I have the browns and they make a very nice stock clicky noise."
Jaw-dropping quality!!
"This is my 3rd time investing in a mechanical keyboard however this would be my first time purchasing a fully customizable keyboard in the GMMK2. That being said the Gateron switches were a breeze to install and are behaving exactly as I wanted and expected. Glorious once again living up to the name and honestly they're nothing short of a powerhouse now."
Great keyboard; keycaps a bit disappointing
"I ordered the GMMK with Gateron Reds and the basic black keycaps. LOVE the keyboard and the switches feel awesome, but the printing on the basic black keycaps really leaves a lot to be desired. Luckily I've been typing for 20 years and don't need to look at the keys as I type, but a premium product should always have presentation on point. Many of the keycaps look like the mask wasnt applied properly, such as Q, Tab, and the @ symbol in the image attached. That's the only thing keeping this from being 5 stars."
Beautiful and just what I wanted!
"I wanted a sleek and minimalistic style white keyboard but every one I could find online was not sleek looking. A friend recommended that I check out GMMK in a discord chat. I loved the way these keyboards look and how customizable they are! I ended up getting the full size GMMK with white pudding keycaps and Gatreon clear switches. I love the mechanical look without the clicky-clacky noise and the lightweight speed of the switches. I even got the soft o-rings to dampen the noise further. Plus the RGB lighting through these keycaps are absolutely stunning. As someone with no prior experience putting together a modular keyboard, I would definitely recommend this to anyone!"
WOW! From Browns to Reds .... Still awesome
"I have to say I always love the browns.. but had to replace my switches .. on a whim wanted to try the reds ... WOW amazing. I didn't think i would like typing on the reds, but i actually enjoy it. Brown or Red so far for me .. thumbs up!"
