DURGOD Taurus K320 White LED Mech Keyboard Cherry Red

As this was my first mechanical keyboard I wanted to go for something budget oriented. I saw reviews claiming this is a pretty good option for a price so I went and ordered a white/grey more retro looking one with brown cherry mx switches. Now I know that cherry browns are frowned upon, but since then I tried several other and in my opinion I stil prefer them for their tactility without the clickiness. If you prefer linear or clicky switches, these might not be for you, but for a typist like me, they are pretty good.When the keyboard arrived, I was surprised how heavy it was since a friend of mine who convinced me to buy a mechanical keyboard had cheap plastic one which was very light.

I suppose there's a steel plate inside. The body is made from plastic, but it feels really good. You can adjust the angle of incline in three options. There are two cables included - usb a and usb c, both ending with usb c which is a connector that the keyboard uses. These cables are only 2.0, but that's all you need for a keybrod anyways. There was also a keycap puller included in the box which was a nice touch.The software to adjust and program the keyboard is quite limited - there is no FN layer available so you can only reconfigure regular keys and combinations, but the overall build quality is worth this tradeoff.Overall I am super happy with the purchase and I can wholeheartedly recommend buying one.

If your looking for a great budget mechanical keyboard, these are a great option. The build quality of the 320's I'd give an A+, there is hardly any deck flex. The hard plastic case and pbt keycaps still retain their factory finish despite my vigorous cleaning after a year with it. The cherry mx browns switches are what I expected from cherry and factory stabilizers are ok, if you want an even better experience with these you'll have to mod them. I'd recommend just lubing the stabs for a step up in the overall feel of the keyboard. Taeha Types and Wildcat on YouTube have great guides on how to do so. I've de-soldered the switches and lubed everything that I could, but you don't have to go as far as I did to really enjoy these.

The one con is the Durgod software suite, which kinda looks like a reskined Corsair iCue. For me it was really buggy and all in mandarin (not sure which version I was on), so I just never used it. If you want macro support you can try the latest software (your millage my vary). The RGB is really vibrant and easy to adjust due to the hard mapped controls. 4/5 great budget keyboard.

Unboxing was fun and impressive - best branding and packaging of the 6 or so KBs I own.Build quality is very impressive, especially given the lack of metal in the frame. Feels much sturdier and solid than my Velocifire, and considerably less key gaps and flex than that model. The metal framed Phantom and ReDragon KBs I have feel as sturdy for lower price points, but the K320 has other pros that justify its higher cost.Among these: the detachable cord, flexible yet sturdy. Extendable KB feet are also solid and smooth in opening and closing.Keycaps also much better on the Durgod - PBT versus ABS on my other KBs, and the font is both more visible and less radical than some others.The keys are actual Cherry Browns -- kind of bittersweet, as I realize i prefer ... MoreUnboxing was fun and impressive - best branding and packaging of the 6 or so KBs I own.Build quality is very impressive, especially given the lack of metal in the frame.

The MX Browns here have much better stabilizers than on Magic Force, RD, Phantom, or Velocifire. and that smooths out the typing feel quite a bit.Manual is better than other KBs for what it's worth, but KB manuals do not need to be all that fancy really. I have not downloaded the Durgod software yet.Bottom line: assuming you don't want flashing lights, the Durgod is a great mech KB for adults. Shipping time was quite long, but the MD pricing here was a great deal.

Absolutely destroys my Corsair on Cherry red in terms of quality. I actually prefer it over my Leopold (not just layout, I can't get used to Topre's tactile bump being right on top, also Leopold's backspace and enter are not that smooth). It's the smoothest board I've used (factory lubed stabilizers?) .Only board I had chance to test and would take over this is Filco Majestouch 2, typing was just as smooth, but Filco keycaps sit deeper in the case. That's something I would improve on Durgod: raise case top by 2mm so keycap bottoms stop being visible. I'd also add set of legs in front (I never use back ones).I'd buy another one right away if it came with Gateron Yellows, Kailh's Whites or any other not-too-heavy tactile switch.

This is a really good keyboard. It's got a nice design, it's well-built with what feels like nice hefty plastic, the acoustics are great and even the stabilizers are lubed properly. The cable design is interesting but it still takes "normal" type-c cables, so you're not locked into it (unlike, say, Logitech's three-pronged micro-USB).No RGB or QMK, but neither one mattered to me in this board. There's macros as an on-board feature or via the manufacturer's app, but I don't even have it installed. I wish it came in more than just Cherry switches -- hell I would pay extra for hotswap -- but that's still fine.At $80 (Drop's price) this is really good value, and even at Amazon's $100 this is still great.

I primarily use my PC for games and was looking to replace my cheap 20$ mechanical keyboard . I didn't want to spend 150+, but still wanted RGB and authentic Cherry switches since I have only owned/used imitation cherry switches. Really excited when drop listed this since this was exactly what I was looking for in a keyboard and was cheaper than anywhere else.The RGB selections are nice and the keycaps the keyboard comes with feel amazing vs my previous ABS keycaps. The keyboard itself feels well built and each key feels solid when pressed. The spacebar feels infinitely better than my old keyboard, and does not rattle or feel flimsy when pressed.Overall I'm happy with this keyboard and have no real complaints.

Just got my 2 keyboards today. One with silver switches and one with blue.The silver one had a crack on the back and it was warped so bad it wobbled on the desk. The spacebar also had a crack on the front of it.The blue ones space bar doesn't depress all the way. It looks like someone jammed it on when it wasn't lined up properly. Part of the keycap inside is busted where its supposed to sit onto the side support.Just got word back from massdrop that there is NO WARRANTY with these keyboards. My only option is a full refund. They can't send me replacement parts or units as they have nothing in stock. Worse yet, if these keyboards dies in a few months for whatever reason I'm SOL because there is no warranty.Both keyboards came wrapped in some sort of plastic ... MoreJust got my 2 keyboards today.

I was expecting individual boxes but that's not a huge deal. The "dust covers" on both keyboards were also cracked and the instruction manuals were wrinkled to hell.This was my first purchase (second delivery) using massdrop. It's left a very bad taste in my mouth. I still can't believe there is no warranty.I'm going to see if I can do a partial return and just buy a replacement space bar for the blue one. It does feel really nice to type on and I would hate to send it back. Although with no warranty I might just send it back. I guess I need to sleep on it.I can upload pictures (i think) if anyone is interested.

Clack away with Speed Silver!

I am in love with this keyboard. It was easy to set up and with the Cherry Speed Silver, I type so much faster. It's a good thing that I work remotely because I would seriously annoy my office mates with the clacking of the keys. It took a few days to get used to, but after that, it was good to go. I even recommended it to a coworker who was jealous when he heard me typing during a telephone call. My only issue is with the software -- when I upgraded the software, there is keyboard chattering when I try to type a capital letter twice. I ended up just not using the software. I would love for this to be in a wireless version at a decent price. FYI, it looks better in person than in the pictures online.
