Wireless mechanical keyboard is now half price! With Rapture, you can even swap switches

A mechanical keyboard where you are not limited to the original switches doesn’t have to cost thousands. The Rapture CHARLIE V2 Wireless features replaceable linear Gateron switches, and Alza offers it in a black variant with CZ/SK characters for 700 CZK with code ALZADNY50. It’s interesting not only for gaming but also for those who want to customize the typing feel later by swapping switches.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense for: gamers who want to free up space for their mouse and can do without a numeric keypad and a separate row of function keys.
⚠️ Consider: Czech and Slovak characters are on an ANSI layout with a single-row Enter key. This might mean a change in habits compared to a standard Czech keyboard.
💡 The code is essential: the public price without it and without membership is 1,399 CZK. The offered variant is in stock at Alza.

You can try and change switches individually

From the factory, it is equipped with Gateron G Pro 3.0 Red mechanical switches with linear travel. The seller states that the switches and stabilizers of larger keys, such as the spacebar and Enter, are pre-lubricated to reduce friction and improve typing smoothness.

For further customization, support for both 3-pin and 5-pin switches is important. Thanks to the hot-swap design, they can be replaced without soldering, so you don’t have to buy a whole new keyboard for a different typing feel. The included puller can be used to remove both keycaps and the switches themselves.

Bluetooth switches between three devices

Wireless connectivity is not limited to the included 2.4GHz USB receiver. Via Bluetooth, the keyboard can handle up to three devices and allows switching between them. So, for switching between work and home computers, you don’t have to move the receiver every time. Mode switching for Windows and macOS is also available.

The built-in battery has a capacity of 2,000 mAh. It charges with the supplied 1.6-meter braided cable, which also serves for wired connection to a computer.

RGB yes, translucent keycaps no

The backlighting offers 19 effects, which can be changed by combining FN and HOME, and brightness or speed can also be adjusted. However, the keycaps are made of opaque PBT plastic. Anyone who primarily needs legible backlit legends for evening typing should consider this design: RGB alone does not address this need.
