Alza discounted its keyboard to 800 CZK, it normally costs over 2 thousand. AlzaPlus+ is enough for the discount

Keyboards with magnetic switches and an adjustable actuation point recently belonged to a more expensive category. However, with AlzaPlus+ membership, you can now buy the Rapture KILO V2 HE on Alza for 800 CZK. This is its historically lowest price.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you have/pay for AlzaPlus+ and want a magnetic gaming keyboard with Rapid Trigger.
⚠️ Consider that it’s a wired TKL keyboard without a numeric keypad – not everyone finds this suitable.
💡 For 800 CZK with AlzaPlus+, this is a very aggressive price for a keyboard with this feature set.

Why this keyboard is interesting

The main attraction is the Gateron Dual-Rail White magnetic switches. Unlike regular mechanical switches, you can adjust how deep you press a key before it actuates – from a very sensitive response to a more assured press. Additionally, there’s Rapid Trigger, which instantly deactivates and reactivates the key with minimal movement. In fast-paced games, this means a noticeably quicker response. Until recently, this technology was typically found in more expensive models, but here you get it with AlzaPlus+ for 800 CZK.

Key parameters explained in plain language

The keyboard operates at a polling rate of 8,000 Hz, meaning it reports its position to the computer eight times more frequently than standard 1,000 Hz keyboards – great for competitive gaming, although more demanding players are likely to notice the difference. The switches have a stated lifespan of 150 million keystrokes and an ultra-light actuation force of 30 g, which reduces finger fatigue. Additionally, advanced features like DKS, Mod-Tap, and Toggle allow assigning multiple actions to a key based on the press depth.

The 800 CZK price applies with AlzaPlus+: what it entails

You get the price of 800 CZK as a member of the AlzaPlus+ program. This is a paid Alza subscription that costs 299 CZK annually (i.e., 25 CZK per month), or 59 CZK for monthly payment, and can be canceled for free at any time. In addition to discounts on selected goods, it primarily includes free delivery to over 25,000 pick-up points (AlzaBox, Zásilkovna, branches, and others), and this is without a minimum order value – they will even deliver a small item for a few crowns for free.

According to Alza, membership pays off from the fifth purchase, and the average annual saving is around 1,500 CZK. If you shop regularly on Alza, this keyboard will cost you 800 CZK, and you’ll also save on shipping for other orders. If, on the other hand, you only shop occasionally, it’s a good idea to calculate whether the subscription is worth it for a single item.

Practical aspects: design and software

It features a TKL design with 87 keys, meaning without a numeric keypad – this frees up more space for mouse movement, but those who need a numpad daily will miss it. The Gasket Mount construction with foam dampening and lubricated stabilizers makes key presses softer and quieter. The keys have durable PBT keycaps with an XDA profile and Czech and Slovak localization. Connectivity is handled by a detachable braided USB-C cable (1.6 m), a key puller is also included in the package, and the software is in Czech.

When it doesn’t make sense

If you want a wireless keyboard, this one is purely wired. If you need a numeric keypad daily, the TKL format will limit you. And if you primarily use the keyboard for typing and aren’t concerned with competitive gaming, the benefits of magnetic switches and Rapid Trigger will largely go unused – in such a case, a cheaper mechanical keyboard would suffice.

Verdict: who it’s worth it for

For gamers with AlzaPlus+ membership who want a magnetic keyboard with Rapid Trigger and an adjustable actuation point, the 800 CZK price is very appealing – a keyboard with such features rarely appears for this amount. Just keep in mind that it’s a wired TKL without a numpad and that some features won’t be utilized for purely office typing.
