Thanks don't know how I missed that.

They do iirc

Or contact OCUK through the CS sub forum and ask them to get some in?

I messaged them yesterday about that and they don't unfortunately. It would be pretty strange for them to stock the UK version but have no way for them to be available in the UK. Overclockers must surely be getting them in at some point.

Yeah it is a bit strange, surprised they are not on the Glorious website either.

Anyone here with Boba U4T's in their GMMK Pro? How are you liking the combo?

I have the U4T's and an Akko keycap set on the way, also ordered the GMMK Pro but I'm having second thoughts about the board. I'm starting to like the KBD67 lite sound quite a lot but I prefer the layout and more premium build of the GMMK...

Hey Space Monkey cracking setup, How was fitting the plate? easy enough?

Hey,

Thanks

The plate goes in easy enough but if you intend to use thicker stabs like the Durock v2's then you'll need to file a little of each side of the brass plate where they fit in, 10 minute job with a small hobby file

Do the newer GMMK Pro's come with bad stabilizers? Are Durock v2's a must and if yes, besides the stabs, what else do I need to install them (lube, tools etc)?

Do you guys with Pros find you need a wrist rest? Exactly how high are the keys from the desk? My current keyboard is about 29mm high from the desk to the top of the key caps on the bottom row of keys, and I just about manage without a wrist rest, but I am not sure I would want go any higher.

I have big hands so am fine without a wrist rest at the

Mine are liveable but not amazing. I think @Space Monkey used the Durocks but had to mod them to fit??

Yeah with the Brass plate (and Alu plates as well) you need to mod them to fit but it only takes about 10 minutes

So with the standard plate they would fit fine?

The standard plate is the Aluminium plate, so that'll need a bit of modding, only the plastic plates seems to work ok but that's just due to it being easy to force the stabs through it.

It hath arrived, Now to wait on my switches, Decided on Kailh Box Navy thick clicks, The poshest clicky switches I have ever heard

How are things with the GMMK Pro now? Any small revisions to launch hardware and what about the VIA support?

Was trying to hold out for the Q3 to upgrade to it from my GMMK TKL, but it's been delayed. TKL is great for standard sized keycaps, especially with ISO, but it is what it is.

Probably some tiny bits here and there but nothing major as for via it was added to the via firmware download page 6 months ago so should work.

Thanks, I'll get my order in. Getting the polycarb plate as well.

I actually noticed the ISO UK keycap market isn't too bad for 75%. There's even a few GMK knock off clones that have proper ISO UK support.

After all these months they still haven't fixed their stabs and the alu plate is still incompatible with 3rd party stabs from what I'm reading...

I'm having a hard time pulling the trigger on this, might get the Q1 instead, seems like Keychron fixed most of the issues.
