A ticket to the world of custom keyboards for half the price. Glorious GMMK 3 dropped from 3,999 CZK to 1,954 CZK

Glorious is a brand cherished by the keyboard building community – and its modular GMMK 3 has now dropped by half. AlzaPlus+ members can buy it for 1,954 CZK instead of the original 3,999 CZK; without membership, it costs 2,299 CZK. For that price, you get a full-sized format with a 100% layout including a numpad, and most importantly, a platform you can endlessly customize.

👍 Get it if you want a quality mechanical keyboard that you can customize over time – and US keycaps don’t bother you or you touch type.
🤔 Hesitate if you need to see Czech diacritics on the keys – this variant has an American layout.
💰 Price: 1,954 CZK for a hotswap keyboard from Glorious is a price at which ordinary mechanical keyboards without the option to swap switches are usually sold.

A keyboard that grows with you

The magic of GMMK 3 lies in its hotswap sockets – you can replace the pre-installed linear switches at any time without soldering, with any others, from quiet office switches to clicky retro ones. This is exactly how entry into the world of custom keyboards works: you buy a ready-made base and gradually change switches, keycaps, or typing sound according to your mood. In addition, you get RGB backlighting, Glorious Core software for key remapping and macros, and a robust construction that the community praises. On Alza, the keyboard currently has a rating of 5 out of 5, albeit from only four customers.

US layout: a deal-breaker for some, a bonus for others

The reason for the discount is obvious – it’s a variant with American keycaps, which Czech offices are less likely to choose. Of course, you can switch to a Czech keyboard layout in the system, and diacritics will work normally; you just won’t see them on the keys. Programmers and gamers who touch type or type in English anyway get a premium build kit for the price of an ordinary keyboard; those who will miss Czech diacritics on the keys should opt for a CZ model elsewhere. However, for the target audience, it’s a great entry into custom keyboards.

Do you touch type and US layout doesn’t bother you, or is a Czech keyboard a must for you?
