The famous Keychron Q1 Max mechanical keyboard is discounted by more than two thousand! It has beautiful sound and quality craftsmanship

Keychron Q1 Max is one of the most popular premium mechanical keyboards on the market – and now it’s significantly more affordable. You can buy it on Alza for 4,799 CZK instead of the original 6,490 CZK. For AlzaPlus members, the price drops to 4,319 CZK – and yet AlzaPlus monthly membership costs only 59 CZK, so it’s worth getting it even for this one purchase. You can find details in the product detail on Alza.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you want a premium mechanical keyboard with an aluminum body, wireless connectivity, and CZ legends – and don’t want to pay over 6 thousand for it.
⚠️ Consider if you type in the dark and need backlit legends – PBT keycaps are opaque. An ABS variant with backlighting exists, but at the cost of worse sound.
💡 For 4,319 CZK (with AlzaPlus) you get an aluminum body, hot-swap, three connection modes, QMK firmware, and 180 hours of battery life – this is an unprecedented price for the Keychron brand.

Why Keychron Q1 Max is worth attention

Q1 Max combines features that you won’t find together in most keyboards in this price range. The all-aluminum body made of 6063 aluminum gives the keyboard a premium weight (1.72 kg) and stability. Gateron Jupiter Brown switches (tactile, 55 g) are hot-swappable – you can replace them anytime with any 3-pin/5-pin MX compatible switches without soldering. Acoustic foams (IXPE, PET, Latex) and double silicone gaskets ensure a pleasant, rich sound – an Alza reviewer describes it as “great rich key sound”.

Connectivity is threefold: Bluetooth 5.1 (up to 3 devices), 2.4 GHz RF with 1000 Hz response, and USB-C cable. Switching between devices is seamless. The 4,000 mAh battery lasts up to 180 hours without RGB or 100 hours with backlighting. The knob for volume control is a nice practical bonus. QMK/VIA firmware via the Keychron Launcher web application allows key remapping, macros, and complete customization – without software installation.

What to watch out for

The main compromise is the same as with Rapture VICTOR HE: PBT keycaps are opaque. RGB backlighting shines around the keys, but the legends do not shine through – in the dark, you cannot see what you are pressing. If this is an issue for you, an ABS variant with backlighting exists, but PBT offers better sound and durability. The keyboard does not have adjustable feet to change the tilt – however, the default angle suits most users. The rating on Alza is currently from two customers (4.5 out of 5), so broader feedback is lacking. However, in the global community, the Q1 Max is one of the highest-rated keyboards in its class.

Verdict

The Keychron Q1 Max for 4,799 CZK (or 4,319 CZK with AlzaPlus) is a premium keyboard at a mid-range price. Aluminum body, hot-swap, three connection modes with 1000 Hz response, QMK firmware, weeks of battery life, and CZ/SK layout – this is a combination for which you would normally pay over six thousand. If you are looking for a keyboard for years and want to customize it to perfection, this is currently one of the best opportunities. You can find other gaming accessories in the current Alza Days.

Do you use a mechanical keyboard, or is a membrane one enough for you? And does the CZ layout matter to you?
