Key Features
Premium design and durability: The GMMK 2 Compact (96%) features an aluminum top shell, which makes the keyboard super durable and gives it maximum rigidity. The substantial weight and grippy rubber feet, mean it doesn't move on your desk while you game. Anodization of the aluminum gives the keyboard an impressive resistance to scratches and corrosion, and the fine brushing of the exterior creates a matte metallic finish that is smooth to the touch.
Custom Full-Size Layout: With the GMMK 2 Full Size (96%) you don't have to sacrifice the Numpad for a small form factor. We've packed the best of a full-size keyboard in a form factor that is closer to a TKL. Save valuable keyboard space without losing functionality.
Swappable mechanical switches & keycaps: The GMMK 2 Full Size (96%) hot swap sockets are specially designed for easy installation of any 5-pin switches. Easily install mechanical switches from Glorious, Cherry, Kailh, Gateron, Glorious Panda Switches, and more. No soldering is required to create the ultimate TKL gaming keyboard.
Superior Sound: The pre-installed stabilizers are lubricated for a smooth and consistent press without rattle. Screw-in stabilizer mounts are available for modders wanting to use their own. Thick interior keyboard foam acts as a dampener to eliminate case ping. The GMMK 2 Full Size (96%) is a hot-swappable mechanical keyboard with great sound.
Included Components: GMMK 2 Full Size (96%) Barebone Frame, 2M Black Braided Cable, Switch Puller, Keycap puller, 1 x Novelty ESC Key.
