Glorious GMMK Eternal review
Glorious’s GMMK Eternal is a £90 wired mechanical keyboard designed as an affordable upgrade, with a compact 96% layout that retains a number pad and most full-size keyboard functions. The review finds it a solid, practical option, though its dated appearance and some cost-saving choices limit its appeal.
It has doubleshot ABS keycaps, RGB lighting, three onboard profiles and pre-lubricated linear Fox switches rated at 45g. The plastic chassis has an aluminium top plate, feels sturdy and shows no deck flex; switches are hot-swappable and support 3- or 5-pin MX-style options. It weighs 886g and connects by detachable USB-C, but offers no extra ports, volume dial or switch choices out of the box.
In short
- Compact 96% layout keeps nearly all full-size functions.
- Sturdy build and hot-swappable switches add value.
- ABS caps and dated styling are notable compromises.
