CONNECTING YOUR GMMK PRO TO CORE

Upon launching CORE, you will see this screen. It may take a few minutes for
your GMMK PRO to register with CORE. (You do not need to select the
“DISCOVER” button.)

Once your Glorious products are detected by CORE, they will show on the
“home” page. You can get back to this view at any time by selecting the
Home icon.
You can toggle which custom profile your PRO is currently using from the
home screen.

You can select the GMMK PRO icon in the sidebar or the picture of the PRO
in the window to go to the GMMK PRO customization screen.

PROFILES & L AYERS

On the customization screen, you can export profiles for

your GMMK PRO and import up to three different profiles
at a time. Profiles consist of three layers that you can
apply custom RGB effects to and create key binds on.

You can cycle through profiles or layers without opening

CORE by using built-in hotkeys.

Cycle Profiles Up Cycle Layers Up

FN + CTRL + [↑] FN + CTRL + ALT + [↑]

Cycle Profiles Down Cycle Layers Down

FN + CTRL + [↓] FN + CTRL + ALT + [↓]

We recommend exporting your selected profile before

updating CORE or your GMMK PRO firmware in the case
that an update resets your GMMK PRO settings. You can
restore your customizations by importing the profile
following an update.

LIGHTING

Presets
The GMMK PRO has 18 preset lighting effects that can be selected from the
Effect drop down, as well as an option to turn the LEDs off.

Brightness and Rate (speed) can be adjusted for most effects using the
slider bars in 5% increments.

A custom color can be used with some effects by moving the circles on the
color palette or by entering RGB values in the textboxes.

RGB(Fixed) can be applied to some effects by selecting the toggle.

5
By default, the sidelights will breathe when Caps Lock is on. This can be
disabled by turning off “Indicate caps lock on with blinking side lights.”

Effects or changes will not be applied to your GMMK PRO until you select
the “Save” button.

The Reset to Default button in this panel will restore the LEDs to Glorious
Mode at 100% brightness, but will not overwrite any Per Key effects applied.

Per Key
Per Key lighting applies on top of whatever Preset is selected. So, if you apply
per key lighting to one key, the preset lighting will remain applied to the other
keys. However, selecting “All” in the Quick Key Selection will override the preset
effect.

You can select a single key or a group of keys from Quick Key Selection, adjust
the color and brightness, and/or toggle Breathing on or off. Then hit Save.

You can remove the Per Key effect from a single key or group of keys from
Quick Key Selection by selecting the eraser tool and then clicking the
desired key or key selection button and hitting Save.
(Don’t forget to click the Pencil again to go back to editing.)
6
You can default to whichever preset you had selected at any time by
selecting the “Reset to Default” option to clear your per key lighting. Reset to
Default is independent on each of the Presets and Per Key panels. Selecting
Reset to Default on the Per Key panel will remove Per key lighting but not
override the selected preset effect.

PERFORMANCE

In the performance tab, you can change the polling rate of your GMMK PRO
to 125Hz, 250Hz, or 500Hz from the default 1000Hz.

Polling Rate is how often the OS checks for input from the GMMK PRO. This
is a factor in determining the maximum input latency of key presses. A high
polling rate takes up more CPU resources than lower polling rates.

SETTINGS & UPDATES

The settings panel for Glorious CORE can be accessed by selecting the gear
icon from the sidebar. From this screen, you can manage your preferences
for whether CORE launches on computer startup and how long your devices
will stay on if they’re inactive.

From this screen, you can update CORE software or your GMMK PRO
firmware. Clicking “Check for Updates” will let you know if any updates are
available. You should update your GMMK PRO firmware upon plugging it in
for the first time.
