  Hello Glorious,
  
  I am happy to own a GMMK Pro.
  Wonder if next 2.0 can contain the ability too add key binding as Fn + x (some key) for doing certain things?
  
  Kind regards,
  GMMK user

  Regarding Fn support for the macro editor, unfortunately it would conflict with the built-in firmware functionality. Fn key combos are used extensively for all types of functions. Everything from media control to LED settings are all reliant on an Fn combo.
  
  More information on these built-in functions can be found in the product guide under the How to Use section.

  Hello Glorious Team,
  
  Love your work and products.
  
  Would it be possible to allow support for 3rd party RGB applications? Such as OpenRGB or SignalRGB.
  
  I would really love to tie in my keyboard and mouse into my RGB setup.
  
  Thanks :)

  Regarding a release date, we are targeting Q4 of this year. As an additional update, we are finalizing our design phase and will move into active development within the next few weeks.

  Does the "Expanded rotary knob functionality for the GMMK PRO" mean that you can change the Dial Rotation function in Glorious Core?
  
  I have a fork of QMK on my GMMK Pro right now that lets me use Vial to change the function on my GMMK Pro dial to allow me to use it as Next Track and Previous Track. With the Click being Pause/Play. If this is not added functionality with the current Core 2.0 roadmap, PLEASE implement it. I've been really wanting to use Core for the RGB due to Vial and my QMK Fork not having 100% access to all RGB colors.

  hey i just noticed a suggestion regarding profiles and auto triggering profiles here.
  I like the idea as I also had something like ghub for my old mouse to do those things for me.
  It says backlog so will it be available in the next update or is it for future updates?

• 14 Jul, '22

  Regarding the expanded rotary functionality, the current scope includes mapping application-specific audio sources as well as a few other enhancements. At this time there are no plans for media controls for the rotary action. Of course we would love to add that as we continue refinement, but for 2.0 we are trying to keep our scope limited to ensure we can deliver as quickly as possible.
  
  Per game-specific profiles and an auto-trigger mechanism, It’s something we are definitely interested in pursuing. Unfortunately it will not come up for prioritization until after 2.0. At that time we will reassess our priorities based on the feedback collected here in Feature Upvote.

  Hello Glorious,
  
  Regarding the Overhaul to the RGB lighting editor, will this also apply to the mice? It would be nice to be able to edit the color of each individual LED.

  Its a bit sad if the "current" scope is this only "mapping application-specific audio sources as well as a few other enhancements", it will be such a let down and only bad comments online about glorious core "2.0". OMG Glorious core 2.0, o wait its useless back to qmk. 2.0 refers to a major update, this may as well be a snapshot of what should be 2.0. I am just sending this to help not to be negative.

  Hi there. I'm interested to see the new version of Glorious Core. It would be nice if you can add F13-F24 for the key binding.
  
  Sincerely,
  Model I user

  Per the question on the lighting editor and per-key assignments, as a whole, lighting configuration is getting a UI update. The update will be applied for both mice and keyboards. That said, per-key lighting for mice is not currently planned for 2.0. Please feel free to add this as a suggestion though!

  I would advise looking at an open source keyboard automation applications to see how they make some of the more cool stuff work.
  
  https://www.autohotkey.com
  
  This is open source and has allot of cool things it can do. I know you do not want to create something this in depth but it could really speed up your ability to implement some cool features for Core 2.
  
  Something as simple as when i type this password enter is activated without a key press can really make things feel smooth and cool.
  
  You might also think about adding some easter eggs like DEADLEEDUCK cause the keyboard to do some special lighting pattern. People can find them and get prizes or something.

  U guys are awesome!
  I love my Glorious perepherie but always thought that the software is not even close the same quality.
  Thank u very much that u know that you need to do something, Glorious is really the best brand!

  I am confused - is the Fn+x thing going to be implemented?
  This topic says 'no' but in this thread it is marked as planned - https://gloriouspcgaming.featureupvote.com/suggestions/313440/accessing-a-secondary-set-of-functions-only-while-pressing-a-fn-key

• 04 Aug, '22
  Glorious Engineers Admin

  Hi There, Voric! We would like to clarify that we are working on a way for users to be able to customize Fn layers and are working through the specifics with respect to the current firmware implementation.

  It would be awesome if Glorious had a GitHub account with open source repositories for the software and/or firmware. I am a software engineer and would love the ability to view the source and/or contribute and I am sure there are others like me.
  
  Keychron is a good example:
  https://github.com/Keychron/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/keychron/q1
  https://github.com/Keychron/qmk_firmware/tree/bluetooth_playground/keyboards/keychron/k8_pro
  
  Is this something that would ever be considered?

  Hello, I have the same question as Joel from 16th of July. I would highly appreciate per-segment rgb selection on mice.
  Thank you in advance.

  It would be nice if we weren't limited to only 3 Profiles. The software for the Wired Model D/D- and O/O- have no limits for how many profiles you can have on top of the ability to name them. I'd love to daily drive the Wireless D- I have, but I have more than 3 profiles on my Wired D- that I actively use. Maybe have a dark mode too? There's a lot of wasted space that's just white. And allowing the scroll wheel to be rebind-able would be some nice icing on the cake.

  Hey Guys. Is there an update when 2.0 will be released? I really like the hardware but the 1.something Software sucks real hard

  when can we expect this to be released?

  Is there any update about release date? I love my GMMK keyboard which is awesome but current software is disappointment. Thank you for reply.

  Hi everyone! As we are nearing the end of the year we wanted to provide an update on CORE 2.0. We are happy to report that the design phase has been completed and we are in active development. That said, our original estimate of Q4 of 2022 looks to have been a little optimistic. While we have made some really great progress it’s become clear we will need some additional time to fully realize our vision for this update. With that in mind, our new estimate is late Q1 of 2023. We apologize for the delay, but will continue to provide new information as it becomes available.

  System Tray Battery Status or something accessible to look at the battery status other than opening the whole application.

  Hey guys! Im in love the with the GMMK2!! <3 HOWEVER, as listed above with the layering...please stack effects!! for example, static color and then allow "Pass without Trace" so then it would allow each key press to light that individual key! something like that. Overall the keyboard is amazing, just the software hurts the think meats.

  Could you add a dark theme to 2.0? And possibly disabling a specific part of RGB (like the scroll wheel RGB or the RGB on the right side)?

  Would also be interested in when the update is coming. It´s half a year later since i bought the gmmk2 and still no update...

  First off, typing this on my GMMK Pro and I LOVE it. Let's get that out of the way first. But guys... this software. I know you all can do better. Wondering if you would be able to implement the ability for ALT/CTRL layering (I saw some conflicting posts about FN layering due to the firmware) so we can easily layer custom key binds on top of the "gold" profile layer. I've used keyboards under $100 that can do this and there is no way in hell I'm EVER going back to those now. Also it's been said on here already but the ability to change the rotary encoder would be amazing, even something like a horizontal scroll or zoom would be so money. Love what you guys do and really looking forward to seeing the new stuff. Also, any updates would be great! You don't have to have it ready, but just letting the community know where you are at can really go a LONG way to keeping us happy :)

  when is the software coming out. Just wondering. I love all of your products.

  Cant wait for the update. I had my GMMK Pro for a while now, I love using it, but the lighting has been a disappointment;
  1. Cycling between colors with different patterns/waves/shapes is not available. RGB is a rigid option. It puts all the colors together in the same way every time instead of having the option to cycle between colors or select the colors you want, say in wave 1 or wave 2 etc.
  2. Some modes are way too fast even on lowest speed, like Acid mode (too fast to enjoy each color separately), also heartbeat sensor.
  3. As others said, no layers (layers you can setup are actually profiles not layers)
  4. Not enough lighting patterns/styles
  Basically I could not find a single set and forget mode that will let you enjoy looking at your keyboard, with it showing different colors every time you look at it.
  I am hoping some or most of that will change! fingers crossed

  Is there an update about the release date of a (beta)version of 2.0?

• 05 Mar

  I hope they make it work with glorious TKL keyboard aswell

  Any updates on this ? Because we are nearing Q2 with no word from the devs on this. Even though late Q1 was the last we heard... I seriously cant deal with the current software anymore its driving me bonkers that I cant fully use this keyboard (GMMK 2 96%).

  + I'd like to be able to adjust DPI separately in X and Y as an advanced mouse performance setting.
  + It would also be fun to have a drop-down feature to change the color of the mouse and keyboard to actually match what we use, besides the default black.

  It's Q2 now, any update on the 2.0? My Glorious Core app has been updated today, it's 1.0.33, so nothing really interesting has happenned.

  Development Update (1/2):
  As we are approaching release for CORE 2.0, we wanted to provide some more insight into our progress and release plans.
  
  First, as we have progressed further into CORE 2.0 development it has become apparent that there are foundational changes to the app that are necessary before we can implement a new UI and more robust feature set. To speak in a bit more detail here, reliability and performance are critical aspects of the CORE 2.0 update, and to achieve this we have prioritized various backend and deployment changes so that moving forward, we can achieve a more standardized release cycle as well as the ability to implement new features more rapidly. With all of this in mind, we are taking a phased approach.
  
  Phase one will encompass the structural changes, and at this time we are estimating completion of this first phase by the end of April.

• 28 Mar
  Glorious Engineers Admin

  Development Update (2/2):
  The second phase will then encompass a UI overhaul, as well as the new feature set previously detailed. For this second phase, our timeline is a little more opaque, but we are tracking towards a mid-late Q2 release.
  
  CORE 2.0 Status : QA Testing
  Estimated Completion Date: Mid - Late Q2 2023

  Thank you for the update. 3 more months to go. Can't wait to see the final feature set and especially all those which have been requested on this board.

  So glad to read that work is still progressing towards a fundamentally better product. Can not wait to finally be able to use my keyboard to its full potential.

  I love the Glorious mice series they feel great to hold and move but I will admit the apps lack of customization personally.
  
  Off the top of my head I'd like to see these introduced:
  
  Allow for mouse movement to be implemented into Macros by recording and preferably x and y coordinates (this is what I want the most)
  Quicker and easier way to adjust the key hold/tap timings and delays in Recorded Macros (feels a bit tedious and time consuming to edit/shorten/move them around after you've recorded them)
  An Angle Snapping Slider

  Have a better and friendly Glorious Core app for windows as it is a bit confusing when assigning a key Map/Key Binding.

  I already have 3 Glorious Model O mice (2 wired O- and the new O2 wireless). I wish you will have a software for Mac users. We would love to enjoy the full features of our Glorious mouse. Appreciate all your effort in improving and developing. Thank you.

  i have gmmk 2 and i would love to see compatibility with signal rgb and other 3rd party rgb software to sync my entire setup without having to flash gmk onto my keyboard if this is something that is possible i have only had the gmmk 2 for about a week and that is the only complaint that i have is not being ablle to sync the rgb with the rest of my setup other then that it is the best keyboard that i have ever owned

  Please add additional functionally to the slider for example like zoom

  The lighting on Glorious products is in a league of its own, yet the current RGB set up on the Core app really wastes its potential. I would love to combine colors to make a gradient, similar to the rainbow, in a sunset sort of fashion. New/custom effects would be nice. The options available are somewhat redundant.
  
  Better support for the Num Pad would be nice too. I know it's not one of the best selling products, but for people who work with computers, its essential. I don't see the point of having a volume slider and a volume rotary knob. It would be nice to be able to program the slider beyond just the sound options. I actually disable it because it is so useless to me when I've got 2 other knobs right there that do the same function, besides my headphones, speakers, settings app..
  
  I'm sure some consumers would be willing to test these features in exchange for bug reports. Its essentially free labor and the customers feel included in the process. Plus, you get immediate feedback
