Plug & Play

IMPORTANT: Run the Switch Calibration Tool

Any mechanical switches you install in your GMMK 3 PRO HE keyboard will not register an input until you download Glorious CORE 2.1 and run the switch calibration tool.

Download and run Glorious CORE 2.1
Make sure your GMMK 3 PRO HE keyboard is plugged in.
Click on the keyboard when it appears on the home screen.
Click the “Performance” tab.
Run the Calibration Tool and follow the on-screen instructions.

If you decide to swap switches down the line, mechanical switches (MX) will require this process to function. We recommend this process for magnetic (HE) switches to ensure peak performance with HE features.
