Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you want a premium mechanical keyboard with CZ/SK layout, a large Enter key, and full features — for gaming and everyday typing.
⚠️ Consider that Czech characters are less backlit than main symbols, the left Shift is narrow (ISO layout), and the included cable is not braided.
💡 For 2,653 CZK you get hot-swappable ROG NX Snow V2 switches, sound-dampening foam, RGB with Aura Sync, a multi-function knob, streaming keys, a wrist rest, and USB-C connectivity.

What users were thrilled about

The ROG NX Snow V2 switches (linear, actuation force 39.2 g, travel 1.8 mm) are, according to reviewers, versatile — they work great for gaming and all-day typing. They are quieter than most mechanical switches thanks to built-in sound-dampening foam and lubricated stabilizers. And because they are hot-swappable, you can swap them for others anytime without soldering. One reviewer tested a set of different switches and eventually returned to the default ones — that’s how well they perform.

The CZ/SK layout with a large Enter key is crucial for the local market — most premium gaming keyboards only come in US layout. The multi-function knob in the top right controls volume, playback, and backlight brightness. F1–F5 keys serve as streaming shortcuts (Xbox Game Bar, recording, screenshot). RGB backlighting via Aura Sync synchronizes with other ASUS accessories. The keyboard weighs 900 grams — it stays firmly on the desk.

What to consider

Czech characters are less backlit than main symbols — they are harder to read at lower brightness. The left Shift is narrow due to the ISO layout — standard for CZ keyboards, but if you’re switching from a US layout, it takes some getting used to. The included USB-C cable is not braided and feels cheaper than the rest of the keyboard — several users replaced it immediately. The magnetic wrist rest holds, but not extremely firmly. And the Armory Crate software is functional but more complex than, for example, Logitech G-Hub.

Mechanical keyboard with CZ layout, or rather US layout and getting used to it? What do you prefer?
