I’m experiencing double inputs on my Keyboard.

  • Increase the actuation of the switch and/or rapid trigger until you find a good combination of performance and speed. 
    Note: Very fast actuation and rapid trigger can cause additional inputs during tasks like typing.


I’m experiencing ghost inputs when not typing

  • Ensure nothing magnetic is near the keyboard keys, such as a smartwatch. These devices can contain magnets that falsely trigger key inputs.


I’m experiencing disconnections/reconnections over 2.4GHz wireless.

  • Plug your 2.4GHz USB-A receiver into the GMMK 3’s included extension dongle, then connect the extender to your keyboard’s charging cable. Place the receiver close to the keyboard. This can resolve connection issues caused by wireless interference.


My Windows or left Alt key is not working as intended on Windows/MacOS. 

  • Check the switch on the top of the keyboard. Ensure it's set to the correct layout option (Windows or Mac) to adjust those keys accordingly.


Can I use non-Glorious HE switches on a GMMK 3 board?

  • We can only guarantee compatibility with Glorious HE switches as we've not done extensive testing on third-party magnetic switches.
