Editorial Review

The GMMK2 96% packs a full alphanumeric layout plus a numpad into a shell noticeably smaller than a traditional full-size board by tightening the spacing between clusters — the 96% format trades a small amount of ergonomic breathing room for meaningful desk-space savings versus a true 100%.

Glorious's GOAT stabilizers, factory-installed, are a genuine step up over the clip-in stabilizers most budget boards ship with — noticeably less rattle out of the box, which matters more on a 96% given the number of stabilized keys (numpad enter, plus, spacebar, both shifts).

Firmware runs through Glorious's own Core software rather than open-source QMK/VIA directly, which is a slightly different (though still capable) remapping experience than boards using stock VIA — worth knowing if you're used to the VIA interface from other boards.
