We’ve seen some major moves in the custom keyboard space with competing brands offering more competitive pricepoints. One of the first came earlier this year with the Novelkeys N65 Entry keyboard which was a hotswap PCB polycarbonate keyboard. Glorious has now entered the fray with their own competitor the GMMK pro. It comes in an aluminum case and a 75% layout. At a competitive price-point of $169.99 and a November 11 pre-order date , this is definetly something to keep an eye on people that an affordable easy to build keyboard experience. More info can be found on the Q&A session with Glorious on reddit.
