What customers say
The GMMK 2 Barebones Compact 65 percent keyboard is highly valued as an accessible entry into custom mechanical keyboards. Users praise the robust foundation, noting the quality PCB, hot swappable sockets, and solid aluminum top plate. The 65 percent layout successfully balances essential keys with a compact size, ideal for gaming and work. While the per key RGB lighting adds modern aesthetic appeal, the core sentiment focuses on necessary acoustic tuning. Stock stabilizers frequently require immediate modification, often described as rattly. Additionally, the chassis can sound hollow without internal dampening. Despite these required adjustments, the GMMK 2 offers exceptional value as a customizable platform that scales well with user upgrades.
