We’re back to the ultrapopular GMMK Pro #MechanicalKeyboard ! This time we’re testing Glorious own solution to address one of the biggest complaints people had with the GMMK Pro’s original design: how to increase its plate flex without sacrificing the keyboard’s aesthetics.

In this video I test the new FlexKit in two of its many possible configurations and compare the final result to those you can obtain with cheaper Orings mod. Does this kit deliver? Can the GMMK Pro Flex now? Let’s find out!
