GMK
GMK, or Group Buy Mechanical Keyboard, is a popular method of purchasing custom mechanical keyboards. It involves a group of individuals pooling their resources to buy a keyboard from a manufacturer, often at a discounted rate. This model allows enthusiasts to customize their keyboards with various switches, keycaps, and other components to suit their preferences. GMKs are known for their high-quality build and customization options, making them a favorite among mechanical keyboard enthusiasts. The process typically involves selecting a keyboard layout, choosing switches, and customizing keycaps before the group places the order. This collaborative approach not only makes high-quality keyboards more accessible but also fosters a sense of community among keyboard enthusiasts.
