Super deal: This modular mechanical keyboard cost almost four thousand and now it's twelve hundred!

A modular mechanical keyboard from Glorious for the price of an ordinary one? That’s what this deal looks like. You can now get the Glorious GMMK 3 75% with an AlzaPlus+ membership for 1,200 CZK, whereas it originally cost 3,799 CZK and more recently 2,399 CZK.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you want to enter the world of custom mechanical keyboards — hotswap, modularity, and a compact 75% layout for a fraction of the usual price.
⚠️ Consider that it has a US layout (without Czech characters on the keys), is wired via USB-A, and according to reviews, the materials were rather average for the original price.
💡 For 1,200 CZK, it’s exceptional value — a modular board with an aluminum plate for a thousand crowns is a rarity.

Why this deal is interesting

The whole story is in the price tag. The Glorious GMMK 3 is one of the most customizable keyboards on the market and started at 3,799 CZK. Now, with AlzaPlus+, it’s available for 1,200 CZK, roughly a third of the original price. Who does this make sense for? For anyone who wanted to try the custom keyboard hobby but was put off by the price. Here you get a hotswap board into which you can change switches and keycaps over time.

Key parameters explained in plain language

The main attraction is hotswap — you can change switches with your bare hands, without soldering. You buy different ones, and in a moment, you have a completely different typing feel and sound; that’s the whole essence of the “custom” hobby. By default, it comes with linear Fox switches with constant resistance throughout the travel, ideal for games where you want fast and predictable presses. The board rests on an aluminum plate and offers 9 modular points, so you can also change the stiffness and acoustics. You can fine-tune everything in the Glorious CORE software — macros, RGB, remapping — but the keyboard also works without it right after plugging in.

The 75% format is the sweet spot between compactness and usability: it saves desk space (and brings your hands closer to the mouse) but retains function keys and arrow keys, unlike smaller 60% boards. Connection is wired via USB-A with a 2m cable. One thing you need to know beforehand: it’s a US version, so you won’t find diacritics (hooks and accents) on the keys — you’ll be able to type in Czech, but “blindly” from memory, not according to the keycaps.

What users say and what to watch out for

There are only a few reviews so far (rating 4.4 out of 5, recommended by 80%), so a large sample is missing. Owners praise exactly what you expect from this keyboard: swappable switches, modularity, RGB backlighting, volume knob, and software that is significantly better than older Glorious products. It proves to be a good entry point into the custom world.

However, one criticism has been raised, and it’s fair to mention it: one reviewer writes that for the full price, the materials used were rather average. This is precisely the point the deal addresses — a justified criticism at 3,799 CZK, but practically irrelevant at 1,200 CZK.

When it doesn’t make sense

If you need a keyboard with Czech keycaps and touch typing isn’t your strong suit, the US version will annoy you — look for a CZ variant. Similarly, if you want a wireless keyboard or a full-size one with a numpad, this wired 75% board won’t offer that. And for those not interested in tuning switches and keycaps and just want “a keyboard that works,” they’ll pay for modularity they won’t use (though at 1,200 CZK, it hardly matters). However, for gamers and enthusiasts who want a quality hotswap base for a steal, it’s a great buy.

Would you bet on a modular hotswap board with a US layout, or rather a classic keyboard with Czech keycaps?
