Product Description

The Glorious PC V2 is a compact 65% mechanical keyboard suited for users who want a customizable typing experience with easy switch swapping. It fits well for hobbyists who modify keyboards, as well as typists and gamers looking for a small footprint without multimedia keys. Its programmable firmware and hotswap sockets allow flexibility in key mapping and switch choice.

Key Features

  • Supports hot-swapping of both 3-pin and 5-pin switches, enabling quick switch changes without soldering.
  • Programmable via Glorious Core and QMK firmware, allowing extensive customization of key functions and layouts.
  • North-facing switch orientation, which can improve compatibility with certain keycap profiles and lighting effects.
  • Diffused RGB sidelights and full LED backlighting provide customizable illumination for visibility and aesthetics.
  • Pre-lubed clip-on stabilizers reduce key rattle and improve typing sound, with support for screw-in stabilizers for further tuning.

Build Quality

  • CNC-machined aluminum top case offers rigidity and a solid feel, while the polymer bottom reduces weight.
  • Tray mount design contributes to a stable typing platform and straightforward assembly.
  • Feet provide adjustable typing angles at 7° and 14°, letting users choose a comfortable wrist position.
  • Sound dampening foam inside the case helps reduce typing noise and vibrations.

Compatibility

  • ANSI physical layout with US QWERTY logical layout suits standard key arrangements common in North America.
  • Compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems, supporting broad user environments.
  • USB-C wired connection ensures reliable and modern connectivity without wireless options.
  • Supports QMK firmware for advanced key remapping, but does not support VIA, which may limit some user-friendly customization tools.

Trade-offs

  • Lacks dedicated multimedia keys, which may require using function layers for media control.
  • No built-in audio or microphone ports, so external solutions are necessary for audio needs.
  • Does not support wireless connectivity, limiting use to wired setups only.
  • VIA compatibility is absent, which could be a drawback for users seeking simpler graphical key remapping.
