Lineup including a lot of new colorways Which here we have the pink top frame um So if it’s just a top frame yeah as i Say i assume it wouldn’t be you know the Bottom and stuff or any actual plate so An actual pink top frame should have Thought before i spoke and okay so we Have the gmk 2 right here we’ll hop into That in a minute because i also see some Extra color frames right here With a blue aqua blue and a forest green Okay so these are probably um also gonna Go along with their uh keycap sets they Released at the launch the gmk pro so This would look really nice with those i Assume again both colors here a forest Green Aqua blue Three colors as of now will there be Another one really not too sure because Honestly like when they um announced They were putting out in different Colors and stuff i didn’t look too much Into it so so far just pink green and Blue i assume though that’s probably Gonna be um the The bulk of it right like what other Colors would they put out for red maybe Probably maybe yellow to match their Colorway but Hold on You guys Oh I can’t show you any of this in any of
The cameras right now This is under nda i assume i have to Look when the embargo lifts for this I forgot they were doing this And Oh baby i am pumped for this I am Pumped be on the lookout for something Coming up i assume i have to check the Embargo i think it was sometimes in April for that but i completely forgot About that Oh yeah all right hopping back in i see A pink okay so again we had their uh Cables in the past they put out Different colors now a pixel pink Put that over there any other cables no But i do see some knobs peeking down Here in the corner so safe to say since We have the bulk of these three here uh These are the three new colors with a Cable plate and now rotary knobs so you Guys know the rotary knobs that were you Know on the top right hand side of the Gmk pro and now if you want to spice it Up add a little bit of color you have All three and actually what i did on my Gmk pro built was i picked up um like Guitar knobs and added them to this Accent piece because there’s tons of Different you know styles and designs For these guitar knobs and they fit on There just fine so that’s what i did for Mine uh but now again cool to see we
Have different colors Coming out And let me just see what the actual Difference here is in this gmmk pro i Didn’t think they were sending me an Entire Gmmk pro unit here Huh So i wonder what the difference is with This it says black slate i had both the Black and the arctic white which was More a silver so is this just i assume Like is this fully pre-built then Let’s take a look that’s interesting Again i didn’t know what was coming in This box i just said it was a bunch of Accessories and upcoming stuff i didn’t Think too far into it or too much into It so let’s see i assume yeah this is Probably going to be a fully Pre-built one Slate black ooh Okay okay just from like touching this And opening it i could feel Nice switches i wonder what they are but Yeah i’m not too sure you know at first Glance what the actual difference is uh To this is gonna be versus the one that We had last year i assume there’s some Modifications i know we have accented Keycap here nice white Huh maybe there’s no okay so we do have Some let’s see Okay no real information on that your
Different gasket strips here for modding I wonder what these actual switches are That shows it on the box so let me Actually just close this up for a second Uh it does show on the side right here What we get So yeah this is I’m trying to think because you know When i had these sento i sent out last Year they were obviously the bare bones Kit they oh that You see I don’t do my research before these Unboxing videos i avoid looking at you Know uh the press releases and the Briefings and stuff to make these more You know just kind of candid and Spontaneous but now it makes sense these Aren’t the bare bones or this isn’t the Bare bones because that’s what was Released last year Now Year one we have the new colored accents And top plates as well as the Availability to buy this pre-built That’s the difference now it all makes Sense comes with a coil cable comes with Key keycaps switches key switch and Keycap polar so what key switches are Actually Inside does it tell me pre-lubed Glorious fox linear Huh Those are definitely new i know that let
Me pop a key cap off real quick and see Okay so the red Pre-lubed fox linears they do feel Really nice um i’ll say i’ve used their Glorious links switches as well which Were also lubed these kind of feel on Par with that maybe they’re i would say These are possibly a little bit lighter Not too sure i’ll check the specs on That but okay so this is a part of their Pre-built gmmk pro keyboard um offering Now i wonder if there’s a way you can go In and also like customize if you want Different colored keycaps and stuff or If you have to buy that all separately Or if white just comes on the black i’ll Have to look but cool see we have this Now i’ll put this again off to the side And looks like we have the Newest of the bunch Move this out of the way Toss that all behind me and yes the gmmk 2 which is the full sized and the g mk 2 Compact In Pink That’s going to make for an interesting Review i would have preferred You know Not pink because again for me and my Channel and which means the aesthetics And stuff when i’m filming um just pink Really isn’t my style But okay so these are fully pre-built as
You can see right here it says pre-built Edition on both so i assume they’re also Going to be offering these as well as a Bare bones so you could again buy your Other accessories and build it up Yourself so yeah the fact that it says Pre-built i assume would mean that or Else i wouldn’t have put that on there So let’s hop in real quick and check out The gmk 2 Compact And their Full size 96 percent All right we’ll hop into the pink one First Again um with Pink switches as well so it actually it Looks pretty damn nice we have Again their fox linear switches in here Uh a new logo as well so they’re going Through a rebranding i would assume Because now on the custom escape key um In that like yellow orange colorway Which does not really go with the pink At all i assume there’s a regular pink Escape key in here uh but yes we have The fox linear In here okay sounds nice it does they do Feel really nice i have to check the Specs on these but i do like them and You know honestly It looks pretty nice i’m not the biggest Fan you know just first reaction to the Two different uh materials here because
That More metallic aluminum top plate really Sticks out has a nice like shimmer to it Then you just have like a a matte Lighter baby pink uh right underneath it And it’s still visible from all the Sides and stuff so i’m not the biggest Fan of that but yeah a great compact 65 Option i know with their original gmk Keyboards we had the compact which was 60 then they had a 75 and a full size so Introducing a 65 Still compact keyboard here let me just You know double check with the Accessories yes you do get a color Matching pink cable which is always nice To see and like i said before we do have That pink escape key because that well It looks cool i like the new logo uh It’s just it doesn’t go really you know And a key switch and key cap puller in There so now we will hop over to their Full size 96 Which does have a smaller footprint Definitely noticeable right away than a Traditional full-size keyboard you still Have your numpad here on the right side Your arrow keys but yeah it’s more Compact i do like this footprint man This is a this is pretty nice and yet Again i assume we have the Fox linear switches Yes and i want to do want to check on The box to see if these are pre-lubed or
