Thank you for posting this. There's no excuse for Glorious not to have this working yet.

I also took a try at the RGBs as a weekend funsie thing but looks like the GMMK Pro doesn't use one of the current drivers (IS31FL3731 IS31FL3733 IS31FL3737 IS31FL3741 WS2812) that are supported by QMK. I thought maybe just maybe the chip was an IS31FL3237 because of the pin count, but the VCC pin didn't match up (ground did though) so I just gave up from there and didn't pursue any further since searching for the maker/model of the chip was fruitless with just the markings on the chip.

Thank you for trying and letting us know. Covid's been tough on business, and this is the very first round of these, so I'm hoping this is an unusual delay for Glorious.

I'm still using the stock firmware, mostly because the backlighting is so nice, and I have a Drop keyboard properly programmed for work. Still, I'm really wanting to make this my dd, so I appreciate any updates if you progress further.

Nope, just trying to push us to Glorious Core which barely works.

I really hoped they would go the logical route, and get the most popular open source solutions finished first.

They say they're developing both at once, and it really feels like they don't have the resources to successfully do so at the moment. I really like typing on it, so let's hope they choose to get qmk and via completely sorted asap.
