Packaging and Accessories

Glorious has used a combination of white, black, and orange with the GMMK PRO and other accessories, so seeing it used with the packaging for the new GMMK 2 did not surprise. If anything, this just made me wonder why pink rather than orange was the third color option. On the front are the new logo and product name, some salient marketing features, and a render of the keyboard, partly shown to also confirm the color of the unit inside. More product information and renders are on the back and sides, including a handy "What's in the box" section. There is still a glimpse of the PC Gaming Race persona with the company asking you to ascend by opening the box that is kept closed by two seals and a double-flap on the side.


Opening the box, we see the keyboard inside a foam wrap, with a plastic cover over it preventing dust collection on the keyboard when not used. Cardboard all around adds protection to the keyboard on its way to you, and we see the included accessories either underneath or in a separate compartment to the top. A printed, short user manual on the bottom replaces the standalone brochure, although we still see a multi-language quick start guide that is mostly irrelevant in the absence of any printed pre-programmed functions. Glorious includes a sticker, greeting card, and the expected Type-C to Type-A keyboard cable in a matching white. The gold-plated connectors add oxidation resistance, and we again see the use of orange via plastic inserts here.


There are two other small plastic zip-lock bags in the top compartment with the cable, and these ensure the GMMK 2 is not lacking in anyway compared to the original GMMK. These contain a replacement Esc keycap in its ABS doubleshot glory, white to match this particular keyboard, plastic ring-style keycap puller, and cheap switch remover. Both tools are of the bare minimum functionally. A metal wire remover would have been nice, but I imagine the company had to go this route to hit the price point.
