## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you dim or shut off the LED lights?**
A: Yes you can dim the LEDYes you can turn them off as well

**Q: How is the software for this keyboard? I read it doesn't have enough memory to hold colors you selected once you turn your computer off. True? Thanks**
A: The software isn't the greatest, but I haven't had any issues with it retaining the color I select upon shutdown and on the next startup. I feel confident though that the software will improve over time - I think it was just recently released (v1.0) when the RGB version of the keyboard came out. Also, it is worth mentioning there are hotkeys to quickly change the color/settings of the keyboard if the software isn't up to your liking currently.

**Q: Want to know if this keyboard has querty english layout with a big enter key or querty us layout.?**
A: You can clearly see the size of the enter key in the photos of the keyboard. That's exactly what the key looks like when it arrives.

**Q: Does it work with outemu switches?**
A: Yes, it should work with any Cherry MX or Cherry MX clone switches. (Gateron, Kailh, Outemu). Some switches have two small plastic "posts" that you may need to remove for the switches to fit, but it is easy and quick to do.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value for a custom keyboard
*by J***I on 28 September 2020*

Being new to mechanical keyboards, I did not want to buy a keyboard with switches that I did not like. I ended up getting this GMMK TKL ISO layout keyboard, and then bought 10 different packs of switches from different sellers. It allowed me to try 10 keys of each on the actual keyboard for a more genuine test than a single switch.Through the testing, I came to the conclusion that Kailh Box Heavy Pale Blues are the ones that I really like, despite initially thinking that I was going to end up with a tactile switch.The board is pretty solid. There's a slight metallic twang when you're typing away, which happens with all switches, regardless of colour. I think it's because it is a solid piece of metal, and the vibrations just make a sound. It's not too loud, or obnoxious, but it's certainly there.The cable is long, and feels very solid. Yes, it is MicroUSB, but you get a cable in the box, so what's the problem?One review on YouTube stated that the lights were a bit less intensive than they would have liked, but I find that there is ample brightness on the LEDs, particularly with pudding caps (HyperX do black-on-white UK layout pudding keycaps - unfortunately ABS rather than PBT, but still great).The software for controlling macros and lighting is okay. It's pretty straightforward. The macros are simple ones, but they work.All in all, a great keyboard!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent base for building your desired keyboard
*by M***H on 25 September 2022*

I have been switching out keyboards every few months for a couple of years now and can never quite find the 'perfect' keyboard for me. I decided to go the whole hog in the end and build one to match my requirements and this barebones ISO layout is the perfect starting point. It is very solidly built, heavy enough but not too heavy, USB-C connectivity, adjustable feet to raise the board if desired and excellent RGB. I installed a combination of Gateron Brown switches (quiet, non-clicky with a really positive feel) and Akko Jelly Pink switches for function keys which give a slightly different but very positive feedback. Finished off with the keycaps from a Cooler Master SK652 keyboard which are low profile and have a very clear and backlit font. The SK652 is a fabulous keyboard but just too big (there isn't a TKL version available unfortunately) so by utilising the keycaps from this keyboard I feel I am still paying homage to this excellent board :-). I now have what I would consider the closest to perfect keyboard I could hope for (and I have used MANY over the last 15 years!) and all this is made possible by the fantastic GMMK TKL ISO base!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love to see a barebones in ISO layout
*by J***S on 2 December 2023*

It's great to be able to get a TKL barebones in ISO layout. The aluminium plate is absolutely solid and I don't get any ping from it. The LEDs are bright enough IMO. Overall I am very happy, though I have the following complaints:1. The software is pretty limited and poor2. The hotswap sockets don't support 5 pin switches so you'd have to clip them. Why not add the holes?3. It's hard to remove the front plate from the PCB which is a pain if you want to e.g. do PE foam mod4. There's hardly any space in the body of the keyboard which means you can't really add any sound absorbing material in there. There's a piece of very thin foam which helps the sound a bit but it would be nice for the body to be deeper so you could add more material to affect the soundOverall though it's great and I'm super happy with it especially for the price.
