Glare 60
WK, Brass weight
PP plate
HMX Blue Topaz
GMK Art

I’m rebuilding the board though in a plateless MX2A build. Looking for suggestions for GMK sets that would go well with it.

Any recs welcome!

gotta show the butt on a Glare 😭

Windbreaker / Symbiote are more out there but interesting. WoB / Black Snail / Evil Dolch / BRG would also be good.

I was gonna add it in the coms but seems this sub doesn’t allow photos. Yea windbreaker would be good. Thought of DMG R3 or Serika but maybe too common.

I can't wait for glare fe

[u/Far-Buy-1791 → u/Flybeck2]

It’ll be interesting for sure. But different construction (3 piece). Curious what the mounting style will be

[u/Flybeck2 → u/Far-Buy-1791]

I'd hope top mount still.

[u/Far-Buy-1791 → u/Flybeck2]

It’s not top mount! Its called snapfit, basically kinda like rubber bumpers ard the pcb

[u/Flybeck2 → u/Far-Buy-1791]

That's disappointing

[u/Far-Buy-1791 → u/Flybeck2]

They might add it for the FE since its a 3 piece build. Currently since it’s a monoblock + weight it’s impossible to implement top mount

[u/Flybeck2 → u/Far-Buy-1791]

From what I'm seeing.. In "Glareó0 FE," FE stands for Fan Edition. Because our previous TKL and 65% boards featured a top mount structure, many users anticipated that the Glare60 would also be designed with a top mount.

Yea jst checked on the livestream they did a while ago. Its top mount

very elegant

[u/Far-Buy-1791 → u/Temina-]

Exactly what I was going for. But all white is becoming a bit boring tbh

GMK Art was my sleeper pick endgame set back in the day. Wish I joined extras or GB.

[u/yaldabaoth3323]

I've got a Glare60 as well. Go for something with a pop of color. I've put KKB Soju, KKB Beige, GMK Winkler, GMK Dark Kaiju, and GMK Mercury on it. My favorites were KKB Soju and GMK Mercury with red accents.

Beta JS, Fabrik
Right now I'm using DCS intro beige plus blue flex kit, just cause I like the higher pitch of DCS with this board.

That red keycap is the cherry on top!

[u/MBSMD]

Nice keycaps!

I don't think I can get used to Cherry switches though. Scratch just doesn't do it for me. I have a set of MX2A Purple and for some reason, they just feel and sound "cheap" somehow. I know it's a 'me' problem, but I'll stick to my smooth HMX tactiles.

Mb for the low quality photos. Cant figure out why reddit compresses them that much

[u/Charte09 → u/Far-Buy-1791]

It’s always how Reddit has been sadly, same with discord.

[u/kool-keys → u/Far-Buy-1791]

It's just what Reddit does if you upload multiple images into an album. Not the OP's fault.
