Welcome to the hobby! Ignore the snobs that are downvoting you just because you have a GMMK Pro. This is probably one of the most Gate-Kept hobbies around and it drives a lot of newbies away. Try to not let them bring you down 👌 >

What’s wrong with that board? It’s the only custom one I have and I love it >

When it first came out, there were a number of QC issues that have since been resolved, but people tend to not forget these kind of things. Main offenders were over lubed stabilizers and only some units were QMK compatible due to the Covid Chip Shortage and it wasn’t easy to tell which ones weren’t compatible. 
Additionally, the gaskets that come stock in the board do literally nothing. Glorious sells a Flex Kit (which should be free with proof of purchase of the GMMK Pro IMO) now which basically makes it on par with the Keychron Q1, but you can get a Q1 for less money and a number of options now that also feature the same layout and features. The GMMK Pro is completely fine if you already have it, but it’s just bad value now if you’re looking to dive into custom boards
Edit: I own a GMMK Pro with a Flex Kit because it’s easier upgrading what you have instead of buying a new board all together, and with it it does make the GMMK Pro as it was originally advertised and it finally puts up a true fight with Keychron’s options. However, it’s criminal to have to pay money to fix a flawed design after the fact, no matter how much of an improvement it may be. If the board comes with the Flex Kit stock in the future, the GMMK Pro would once again be a good starting option, but without it I wouldn’t recommend it >

I wouldn’t know what better gaskets feel like since this is all I’ve used, but I definitely hated the stabilizers. Replaced them with Durock ones >

A board doesn’t need gaskets to be good, people were frustrated because of the way they were implemented. Basically people accused Glorious of putting Gaskets in it just to be a selling point without actually putting effort into doing it properly. I still love my GMMK Pro with the Flex Kit, I just don’t recommend it anymore to newbies. Again it’s not a bad board if you already have one, there are just better options out there now for the money now that market has had a chance to expand at the entry level >

GMMK Pro with Kailh speed bronze switches, pudding caps (I like them) and Gengar novelty cap >

You’re allowed to enjoy whatever you want! No matter if other people disagree with something as blasphemous as having an opinion :) >

nice job- it looks very well done! Glad you're happy with it, which is what matters most! >

Oh dam,  I'm really liking the keycaps!
Also new to the hobby, for sure gonna pick some of those up! >

The ones I have here are HyperX pudding caps, but I’m sure there’s plenty of other brands
