What we like about Glorious GMMK 3 Pro HE Wireless 65

  • Near-infinite customizability through the Boardsmith utility, allowing for over 1 billion combinations.
  • Unique dual hot-swappable PCB that is compatible with both magnetic (HE) and standard mechanical (MX) switches.
  • Excellent gaming performance with Hall Effect features like Rapid Trigger and up to 8000Hz wired polling rate.
  • Premium build quality featuring a sturdy CNC-machined aluminum chassis and high-quality PBT keycaps.
  • Versatile tri-mode connectivity including 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired USB-C.

What we don't like about Glorious GMMK 3 Pro HE Wireless 65

  • The Glorious Core software is frequently cited as buggy, unreliable, and prone to losing settings.
  • Extremely high price point compared to similar Hall Effect keyboards from competitors like Keychron or Wooting.
  • Poor battery life, especially when Hall Effect sensors and RGB lighting are fully active.
  • The stock stabilizers and switches can feel scratchy or inconsistent out of the box.
  • Lack of QMK/VIA support, which limits advanced firmware customization for enthusiasts.

Verdict

The Glorious GMMK 3 Pro HE Wireless 65 is a premium 65% layout keyboard featuring a CNC-machined aluminum body and advanced Hall Effect (magnetic) switches that enable rapid trigger and customizable actuation points from 0.1 to 4.0 mm. It offers versatile tri-mode connectivity (2.4GHz, Bluetooth 5.2, and USB-C) alongside a dual-compatible hot-swap PCB that supports both magnetic and standard 3/5-pin mechanical switches. Main pros include its exceptional build quality, high-performance 8,000Hz wired polling rate, and extensive modularity that allows for deep customization of plates, gaskets, and aesthetics via the Boardsmith configurator. However, notable cons include its high price point, the weight of the aluminum chassis (approx. 1.49 kg), and reported bugs or reliability issues with the Glorious CORE software.
