- Consistent 8,000 Hz polling backed by 9K over-polling packet redundancy
- Dual hot-swappable battery pucks with desktop charging dock enable continuous wireless operation
- Ultra-lightweight 53 g symmetrical chassis without honeycomb perforations
✖ Documented Caveats
- Battery runtime drops to approximately 16 hours when operating at full 8,000 Hz polling
- Strictly wireless operation with no tethered USB data mode
- Recharging each 310 mAh battery puck requires approximately 3 hours
Glorious GMMK Eternal: Strengths & Caveats
✔ Advantages
- Triple-layer sound dampening for a solid, refined sound profile.
- 96% layout provides a numpad and function row in a compact footprint similar to a tenkeyless board.
- Hot-swappable switches allow for easy customization of switch types.
✖ Documented Caveats
- Keycaps are ABS instead of PBT, which may wear faster or lack the desired texture for enthusiasts.
- No wireless connectivity option available.
- Software support is limited to Windows only.
