Incoming "Glorious" repair.
Just when you thought the keyboard blogs were done. In comes a different keyboard to my bench known as the "Glorious GMMK3" keyboard which is supposed to be one of those DIY level keyboards for people to get into the joy purchasing your own switches, your own keycaps, cramming housing insulation into the shell of your keyboard just so that you too can have that special "YouTuber grade THOCK" as you type. Or, perhaps you would rather go with linear switches with o-rings because you actually like to keep your job.
Looking up the cost of these complete kits, they generally go for $130+ (USD), which is double what we paid for our Red Dragon K556 when it was brand new on the market. A little boutique to appease the gamers with money. However, it is still basic enough to be picked up in most chain outlets. This particular keyboard landed on my bench for $10, whole dollars on Craigslist, with the supposed mother explaining how her "Gamer Kid" was working on this and broke it.
Fair ball. When we picked up the box, we could already hear the little rattle of screws rolling about inside. So! Let's crack this bad boy open and see what hell awaits us!
