Glorious PC

The Glorious PC keyboard is a tenkeyless, barebones board designed for users who want to customize their typing experience by selecting their own MX-compatible switches and keycaps. It suits hobbyists and enthusiasts who prefer hot-swappable switches for easy modification without soldering. Its ISO layout supports international users, and RGB lighting offers visual customization. This keyboard fits users who want a solid aluminum build combined with flexible switch options and multimedia shortcuts.

Key Features

• Hot-swappable MX-compatible switch sockets allow easy installation and removal of switches without soldering, enabling tailored typing feel and sound.
• RGB backlighting with 18 preset effects and one user-defined slot, adjustable for brightness and animation speed, supports visual customization.
• Multimedia and productivity hot-keys provide quick access to common functions without leaving the keyboard.
• Tenkeyless ISO layout offers a compact form factor suitable for international users needing the standard 88-key arrangement.

Build Quality

• Top plate made of aluminum adds rigidity and a premium feel to the keyboard.
• Plastic bottom keeps weight manageable while maintaining durability.
• Plate-mounted switches contribute to a stable typing experience and reduce key wobble.

Compatibility

• Compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux, supporting a wide range of operating systems.
• Supports MX-style switches only, limiting switch options to this standard.
• ISO layout may not suit users accustomed to ANSI or other layouts.

Trade-offs

• Sold as a barebones keyboard, so switches and keycaps must be purchased separately, which may increase setup complexity and cost.
• No built-in audio or microphone ports, limiting direct peripheral connections.
• Wired connection only, so it lacks wireless flexibility.
