Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense for: Windows gamers who want to try magnetic switches with Rapid Trigger and an adjustable actuation point for 800 CZK with the code, and don’t want to lose Czech keycaps.
⚠️ Consider: it lacks a numpad and a row of function keys, Enter is single-row, and the keyboard connects only via cable.
💡 Code ALZADNY50 reduces the price by 799 CZK compared to today’s price without the code. On Alza, the keyboard has a rating of 4.9 out of 5.

A light press might not mean the same as a full press

Rapid Trigger adapts the actuation and release of a key to its movement instead of a single fixed point. In games, this is useful for quick releases and repeated presses. Additionally, the DKS function allows assigning one action to a shallower press and another to a deeper press; Mod-Tap, in turn, distinguishes a short tap from a hold.

The Gateron Dual-Rail White magnetic switches used have a linear feel and a total travel of 4 mm. You set the actuation point yourself. This is why it’s worth looking for the HE designation: this magnetic variant is the subject of the offer.

68 keys with Czech characters, but without the F-row and with a single-row Enter

The 65% layout omits the numpad and the row of function keys, but the arrow keys remain. This makes the keyboard only 31.3 cm wide, leaving more space for your mouse. The layout is ANSI: Enter is single-row, the left Shift is wide, and the keys bear Czech and Slovak characters.

Macros, key functions, and RGB backlighting are configured in the Rapture software, which is in Czech. There’s also a Windows key lock for gaming.

The keycaps are PBT in XDA profile and are opaque. Thus, you’ll appreciate the RGB backlighting mainly around the keys, not as illumination for their legends. You can adjust the tilt with flip-out feet, and a keycap puller is also included in the package.

USB-C connection, cable is 1.6 meters long

It connects to the computer via a 1.6-meter braided USB-C cable and works without driver installation upon plugging in. It does not have a wireless mode. Alza lists Windows 7 to 11 as supported systems.

Would you give magnetic switches a chance, or is the 65% layout without F-keys not enough for you?
