GMK108 Barebones Mechanical Keyboard Kit, VIA Programmable, Tri-Mode Wired Hot-Swap RGB Full Size DIY (Black)

The GMK108 barebones kit is a black full size VIA board with tri-mode connection, hot-swap sockets and RGB.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + VIA programming makes key remapping simple without firmware compiling
  • + Tri-mode connection gives wired, Bluetooth and dongle use on a full layout
  • + Extra keys beyond a standard full size give room for macros

Trade-offs

  • - Tray style build is described without gasket, so the feel may be firmer
  • - Unfamiliar layout extras may need custom keycaps to fill properly

Prices change often, so check the current price and availability on Amazon.
