DURGOD Taurus K320 TKL Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - 87 Keys - Double Shot PBT - NKRO - USB Type C (Cherry Red, White)

I am very pleasantly surprised by this keyboard at this price point. I returned a Keychron K6 due to severe typing accuracy problem due to the smaller layout, especially on the right side where some extra hardware keys were bordering important stuff like delete and enter. Additionally, the Gateron Browns, on that KB at least, felt wobbly and the key caps had quite a bit of movement and noise as a result. This keyboard is quite different. It is built like a freaking tank and has significant weight (like you couldn't guess how much it weighed if it was sitting on the table in front of you) that feels great in your hands and while sitting on the desk. Coupled with the 2-tier rear-edge risers with rubber grips, the keyboard isn't going to move ANYWHERE while you're typing. I got the white version, and in addition to the awesome retro vibe the colors themselves are so nice, as is the plastic material of the case and the key caps as well. It's just solid as heck. I got the MX Reds and they feel exquisite. The action is phenomenal and these caps are not moving ANYWHERE but up and down, and they are quiet but still return that desired mechanical feedback to the ears and the fingers. Also they are lubing stabilizers at the factory which is just awesome and adds a lot of polish and quality to the final product. The key cap font is solid and understated and looks great - the caps themselves appear to be quite high quality. I cannot stress enough the great build quality of this KB. For $99 it's a literal steal. Multiple hidden cable routing options are a huge plus (left, center, right exits), 2 included cables (USB-C > USB-C and USB-C > USB-A) is a really nice touch, not to mention the free coaster! I hadn't heard of this company nor come across any of their hardware until I was seriously digging into TKL options to replace my Logitech G-Pro with Romer-Gs (which is also good, but not this good) and I think that they need more exposure. I am a fan and will likely recommend heavily and buy again should the need arise.

I love the feel of this thing, and the sound. The only thing that I might not like is how you need a specific chord to plug into the keyboard. They give you two though so hopefully if one goes bad or you lose one it's not the end of the world.

I took a chance on Durgod having never dealt with the company and oh man I am so happy. What a build! Pros: - Screams quality. Very solid build / rugged + weighty + stylish - Every key is snappy and responsive - The sound of the keys being pressed is delicious to the ears on this board. Not a "tinny" or scratchy/springy sound but more like that satisfying "clack" you get with stacking dominos or quality/heavy poker chips. As an audiophile this was very important to me and I'm soooo pleased with the sound! - Clear font on the keys, paint doesn't look to be wearing down at all after months of use. - Basic but nice features, some programmable things and macros in the software, windows key lock functions right on the board. - Removable usb-c cable with great design. It'll feed the cable left, right, or center as you like. - Usable as a blunt force weapon in case of break-ins. Would possibly win in a cage match vs a Maglight flashlight or a Nokia 3310. Cons - No backlight or numeric keypad for the highish price. - Switches are not hot-swappable so choose wisely unless you want to get into the modding/solder world of switches. - Cherry Speed Silvers might be too sensitive for typists, read below Overall it's incredible. Note of caution: If you get the cherry silver speed switches, they are _VERY_ sensitive. It will take a bit to get used to. I'm saying if you simply rest your fingers on the keys the slightest weigh can trigger input from this. Like if you accidentally brush your hand on the board grabbing for it, it might mute your audio and open 3 chrome browsers, that level of sensitive. Early on I was trying to figure out why my character in Vermintide 2 was listing right and left until I realized just resting my fingers on WASD was sometimes causing input. Silvers do NOT require a full press, they require an overweight fly to land on the key lol. But this is not a con, it's actually great after you re-train muscle memory a bit to accommodate it. Now I can get ridiculously fast input when I need them for gaming, really changes things for the better. Get this beast!

Update 2: The USB issues have been mostly solved, although the keyboard still can't wake my my from a deep sleep, while ever other connected piece can. On the other hand, since I switched to a different (and better quality) cable, I haven't had the situation where the keyboard wouldn't work until disconnected and then reconnected. Since I got the keyboard I've been using it exclusively and have a couple more notes: - The mechanism feels a bit scratchy. I'm not super happy with it, but it works okay. - The keycaps, when off, feel a lot less good than when installed. I don't have a lot of modern comparison, but compared to an Apple Extended II keyboard, these caps are low(ish) middle class feeling at best. - The hollow clacking when bottoming out (fairly easy on Cherry Blue) got on my nerves so I added o-rings on all keys, this made the keyboard sound less "hollow clacky", but also added a certain "mush" to the feel. Not sure what I like better, the hollow sound without the o-rings or the very slight mush with them installed. - I had to add some shortcuts through MacOS built in tools to get some of the functionality back. Mostly Ctrl-F12 as a shortcut for a restart. It's a bit unfortunate that I can't remap ScrLk and Pause, these keys just don't come through on the Mac tools I've tried, although I was able to map PrtSc to something more useful than the default "nothing": it shows the notification center side bar now, which works for me. - For ergonomic reasons I've added a wrist rest, since I found the keyboard plain too high to ergonomically use without one. It's unfortunate that you have to buy something extra to adjust this. - The media keys work, which is fortunate as it would have really irked me if they didn't. Overall I think this keyboard is okay. I just can't find it as great as some reviews want me to believe, maybe I'm just spoiled having used AEII and other nowadays "vintage" keyboards, that nevertheless were better than 99% of what's available today. If not considering the price, the keyboard would get three stars at best from me. Given the price and the currently existing competition I give it four stars, slightly reluctantly, but okay. Update 1: Unfortunately I'm having issues with the USB wake when the computer went to sleep. I've swapped the cable and port now to see whether it makes a difference. I hope this doesn't persist. It feels like I'm not able to wake the computer from deep, power saving sleep with the K320. And once woken up, the keyboard often doesn't work. The caps lock light shows, but nothing happens on screen. I have to disconnect and reconnect the keyboard in this case. If this persists, I'll have to downgrade my review. For now I'll leave it as is, giving it the benefit of the doubt. Original Review: I"m using the K320 with a Mac and MacOS Mojave. Since there is no Mac software I've just remapped the Alt and Win keys to have swapped functionality. The media keys work, but are of course slightly different than on a Mac keyboard. I don't have much of a problem with that. I don't use it as gaming keyboard but as my daily keyboard since I wanted something with more hub on the keys and with the brown switches it's acttually pretty good for this. Not too loud, but of course louder than one of the super low profile Apple keyboards. What I like: - High quality switches - Good heft to the construction, it's not moving on the desk - High quality materials, mostly plastic but even that feels good - The keycaps are great, feel good and will probably last a long time - The included cables are decent quality and I appreciate that there is an USB-C cable included as well What I don't like or think could be made better: - I wish there was a good wrist rest included, but I understand the financial constraints - The cables could be a bit more flexible and braided - I'd love to have simple white backlighting, but I can live without - I wish there was a simple Mac software to create Macros and map keys like PrtSc, ScrLk and Pause - I think it could still be slightly quieter (dampened?), but maybe I'm just spoiled in this regard Since most nearly all keys work nicely, the missing Mac software is not a problem for me, it would still be nice to be have a Mac variant (Cmd key caps). I have a third party wrist rest on order and hopefully that will take care of the remaining issues I have with the ergonomics of a higher keyboard. Overall I can highly recommend this keyboard and look forward to using it for a long time.

I've had this keyboard for over a year now and it's by far the best keyboard I've owned. I wasn't interested in diving into the underworld of mechanical keyboards as I know the hobby can be vast and complex (not to mention expensive), but after doing some research I landed on the Durgod K320. I have zero regrets -- The keyboard has exceeded my expectations. The build quality is fantastic for this price range so much so that I forget the chassis is mainly plastic. It looks great and feels great. I like firm feedback from the keys and I despise the clicky sound you get from "mainstream" mechanical keyboards. This keyboard feels great to type on and sounds nice too. I also use the keyboard for gaming (mainly FPS) and I've noticed no issues with input lag. I'm also not going to sit here and pretend I can even tell a difference, but for simplicity sake it seems to function well as a daily driver for work, browsing, and gaming. The only thing I miss from other keyboards is having a dedicated interface for volume/music control, but I knew what I was getting, so I wouldn't dock points for it. Perfect keyboard for my needs and budget. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a solid TKL keyboard.

I love the feel of the keyboard, and build quality is awesome. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of loading the software from Durgod in an attempt to remap CapsLock. That was a big mistake -- the keyboard was completely useless after that, their custom driver was complete garbage. I did manage to remove that driver and rebind it to the stock microsoft driver (in Windows 10), and that made things much better, but still... not good. In particular, the keyboard frequently locks up such that all keys no longer work. (Easily verified by pressing ScrLk and noticing that the lights no longer work.) Removing the USB cable (from either end, it doesn't matter which, so it's not a bad connection in the cable) and reinserting resolves... for a while. The software I installed included a "firmware upgrade", which I think is largely responsible for the problems. It's incredibly disruptive to be typing along and suddenly have the keyboard stop responding. This can happen at any time, and does not appear to be linked to sleep/wake on the laptop or anything like that. It's infrequent enough that I haven't yet replaced the keyboard, but I'm close to it. If they would fix the software so that it Just Worked, this keyboard would be a 5 star instead of 1 star review. When it's working, it's a joy to use. But the hangs are just completely unacceptable. Note that I have other keyboards (membrane keys) which I like less, but which don't suffer these problems at all.

Best looking, best price, best feel. This is my first "real" mechanical keyboard so maybe take my opinion for a grain of salt, but also understand where I'm coming from. I have used the same Razer Deathstalker (chiclet, membrane) keyboard for around 8 years. I haven't changed because I do not like mechanical keyboards. They have so much travel and it tires my fingers out and I feel like I cannot react fast enough while gaming. I've been searching for a wireless low profile chiclet mechanical keyboard but the best I could find was the Logitech g950 for $250. No thanks. Fast forward 1 million Google searches later and I decided I wanted to try a mechanical TKL to downsize the footprint on my desk. Eventually I stumbled upon this keyboard because it is the simplest looking with a great grey color scheme and minimal branding. Additionally, the board comes with mx speed silver switches which is what I was looking for. I chose these because of the short travel to mimic my 8 years of using a chiclet keyboard. Let me tell you... This thing is amazing to type on. No rattling (like I remember happening growing up as a kid when I heard mechanical keboards), amazing sound, smooth feel, and amazing build quality. It feels very substantial in the hand. It's compact but the layout isn't squished. Here's my advice. If you haven't reached the stage of building your own mechanical keyboard and are just looking to get started... look no further. As long as the switch is the feel that you want, this board is amazing. It's TKL, USB-C (I have a custom cable coming), affordable, and you can get almost any cherry MX switch paired with grey / black keycaps with or without rgb. What's not to love?

I purchased this keyboard in 2021 at full price. I hardly ever use it (literally have maybe 5 hours on this keyboard) and it is stored in my office closet (temp controlled). I pulled it out again as I have a second computer now and the keys on the keyboard are all starting to break! Like I'll be typing as usual and suddenly the key simply breaks and comes out (see pic). Must be made from extremely cheap plastic on the underside of the keys. ***Re-reading this it sounds like the keyboard is complete garbage but that is not the case. The keyboard itself is quite nice actually (I got brown cherry keys).. it's the key caps that are garbage and they are easily replaceable. I bought a set of replacement Amiga keys (modern remakes from Simulant) that are almost exactly the same color and texture.
