Alza has gone mad! It's selling its gaming keyboards and mice perhaps below manufacturing cost, units are disappearing fast

Discounts on Alza’s gaming brand Rapture are nothing out of the ordinary, but they usually range around twenty to thirty percent. But now something else has happened: with code ALZADNY80, prices of selected keyboards and mice have dropped by 80%. This means a mechanical keyboard with Czech keycaps for 160 CZK, a gaming mouse with a top-tier sensor for 158 CZK, or a magnetic keyboard, which elsewhere costs three thousand, for five hundred.

👍 Grab it if you’re building your first gaming setup, looking for accessories for your cottage or work, or finally want to try mechanical and magnetic switches without risk.
🤔 Hesitate if you expect Logitech or Keychron quality – Rapture is a solid mid-range, not a premium brand.
💰 Price tag: At this level, the cheapest marketplace goods are sold. Here you get a three-year warranty and service in the Czech Republic.

Cheapest entry into mechanical keyboards: from 160 CZK

Let’s start with the most affordable. Rapture CHARLIE V2 for 160 CZK (from 899 CZK) is a wired mechanical keyboard with Gateron G Pro 3.0 Red switches – linear and pre-lubricated, meaning a smooth press without scratching. For the price of two coffees, you get a keyboard that you would otherwise be looking for around a thousand.

One step up is the KILO V2 for 200 CZK (from 999 CZK), which is the most proven from the entire offer – it holds a rating of 4.7 out of 5 from sixty customers. It’s a TKL format with 87 keys, meaning without a numpad, which saves space for the mouse. Inside are linear Outemu Red switches with a lifespan of 50 million presses, the keyboard has a detachable braided USB-C cable, RGB backlighting, and full Czech localization. Those who want the same keyboard without a cable can opt for the KILO V2 Wireless for 260 CZK with higher quality Gateron switches.

Magnetic switches for five hundred are the biggest catch

This is the most interesting part of the entire promotion. Magnetic switches (Hall Effect) are currently the most sought-after technology in the gaming community – instead of physical contact, they measure the key’s position with a magnet, so you can set how deep you need to press the key for it to activate. For shooters, this means lightning-fast response and the Rapid Trigger function, which makes the key react immediately after lifting your finger. Keyboards with this technology usually start above two thousand.

Rapture VICTOR HE now costs 300 CZK instead of 1,499 CZK. It’s a compact 75% keyboard with 80 keys, Kailh Mistral magnetic switches with a lifespan of 100 million presses, PBT keycaps in Cherry profile (more durable than regular ABS plastic), and a volume knob. Rating 4.5 out of 5.

Those who want a numpad should go for the FOXTROT HE for 500 CZK (from 2,499 CZK). It has a 96% format with 99 keys, Gateron Dual-Rail White magnetic switches with a lifespan of 150 million presses, lubricated stabilizers, PBT keycaps, and software in Czech. Rating 4.6 out of 5. For five hundred, this is the best price/performance ratio in the entire promotion.

Wireless models: three devices and hotswap

The most feature-rich item of the promotion is the UNIFORM ULTIMATE for 480 CZK (from 2,399 CZK). It offers hotswap sockets, so you can change switches without soldering, support for QMK/VIA firmware for advanced programming, silent Gateron Silent Red switches, PBT keycaps, a rotary knob, and a 4,000 mAh battery. You can connect it via a 2.4GHz receiver, three Bluetooth channels, or a cable. This is a keyboard that an enthusiast can customize for years.

For travel and minimalist desks, there are two low-profile wireless keyboards with Kailh White Rain LP switches: SIERRA for 360 CZK in an economical 65% format (68 keys, only 498 grams, 23 mm height) and TANGO for 380 CZK. Both can handle three devices via Bluetooth plus 2.4GHz and switch between Windows and macOS.

Mice: a sensor for 158 CZK that beats many gaming models

Here, the price/performance ratio is completely out of reality. Rapture BANSHEE for 158 CZK is a wired mouse with an optical PixArt PAW3395 sensor – one of the best sensors on the market, which you can also find in mice for two thousand. Plus, a weight of only 51.5 grams, a detachable braided cable, and spare PTFE glides included in the package.

The wireless variant is the PHANTOM for 220 CZK with the same PAW 3395 sensor, a weight of 58 grams, and triple connectivity. And at the top stands the GHOUL for 260 CZK, which has the most modern PixArt PAW 3950 sensor with 32,000 DPI, Kailh GM 8.0 switches with a lifespan of 80 million clicks, and most importantly, a polling rate of 8,000 Hz – eight times what most gaming mice offer. It weighs 59 grams and can be connected via cable, Bluetooth, and a 2.4GHz receiver.

Overview of all discounts

What to watch out for

Three notes to avoid unpleasant surprises. Firstly, the code is applied during purchase and may not apply to all variants and colors equally – for some products, Alza also offers other codes or a discount only for AlzaPlus+ members, so always check the final price before completing your order.

Secondly: with such deep discounts, stock disappears quickly and the promotion may end sooner than expected. And thirdly, let’s be fair about what you’re buying – Rapture is Alza’s private label, meaning a solid mid-range, not premium goods. Ratings for individual models range from 3.9 to 4.7 out of 5, so it’s not a flawless series. However, at prices from 160 to 500 CZK, it’s an incomparably better purchase than anything else at this level – and a three-year warranty with Czech service is something you won’t get with anonymous marketplace mice.

You can find more discounted gaming accessories in current Alza discounts.

Would you go for Alza’s private label, or would you rather pay extra for Logitech and Razer?
