About this deal

This keyboard is simple and reliable, I can’t say enough about how good the typing experience is on the K320. This particular Durgod gaming keyboard also has a secret hidden under the hood. Silenced Cherry MX linear switches for much quieter gaming experiences and tolerable noise levels for typing in the workplace. Just how quiet are they? Does a dampened switch hurt the key feel? Let’s find out… Though it does not have the features of hot-swappability or Bluetooth, the Durgod K320 does the basics with utmost quality.

Compatibility with Mac and Windows: Compatible with Windows 10, Win 8, Win 7, Win Vista, Windows XP and Mac OS (Might need to remap some key through the software). The top surface of the keycaps on my boards doesn’t have the smoothing you found on yours, they are the same PBT texture all over, which I also prefer. The Durgod’s larger keys and spacebar use plate-mounted Cherry stabilizers. Cherry stabs really need to be properly lubed (and possibly clipped) before they can provide the best key feel that isn’t mushy with rattle. Also keep in mind plate-mount stabilizers will require you to desolder the key switch should you need to remove the stabs for clipping or adding lubrication.If you have been frustrated by affordable keyboards with keyboards with awful stabilizers, the Durgod K320 will definitely give you some relief. Durgod k320 it tenkeyless(TKL) 80% keyboard perfect design, elegant, simple and compact size, save more space for your mouse and provides extra flexibility for your keyboard positioning.

The Cherry MX browns sound really great while typing on this keyboard, no complaints here! You can feel a slight tactile bump on each keystroke, but nothing too crazy. The Stabilizers The stabilizers contribute to the awesome sound created when keys are hit, which makes using this keyboard super enjoyable. The Features stage flip-out feet (rubber tipped) that provide more control over typing angle and high traction on a flat surface. Unboxing the product reveals the keyboard along with many accessories and a detailed manual in both English and Chinese. The result is a much quieter typing experience with only a slight hit to key feel compared to non-dampened MX switches. I found the small drop in key travel wasn’t all that perceptible unless you have the two side by side, but bottoming out does result in the keys feeling lightly cushioned. It’s not a huge difference compared to Cherry’s regular MX linear switches, but you do lose just a little crispness.It’s helpful that Durgod includes a USB-C to USB-C cable that can work with the new Mac ports. Durgod Zeus Engine Software The software that comes with this keyboard is really easy to use. Through software you can assign keys and edit macros seamlessly. Supports DURGOD Zeus Engine software : ( Upgrade your keyboard firmware on the go and set up complex macros or rebind keys as you wish) Lots of accessories, including: 2 USB cables, branded cable tie, dust cover and a wire keycap puller.

Increasingly Mac users are ditching their Apple keyboards and seeking the more comfortable and satisfying experience of mechanical keyboards. My only complaint about the structure is the location of the USB port, it is on the bottom of the keyboard in a recessed area. The cables aren’t braided. Just a standard soft plastic/rubber coating. I prefer braided cables because they provide extra protection from tears and fraying. They also look nice and feel more premium. You can obviously use your own custom USB-C cable, but then you’ll lose the retention feature. One of my few complaints.Velcro cable management attachment: A little handy item that can help deal with unruly cables, this attachment can be placed on your desk to keep cables from getting in the way of your setup. The small loss in key feel is a more than fair trade-off for those who want the mechanical experience, but can’t tolerate the typical noise levels produced from mechanical keyboards. Ideal for office environments, online gaming that requires voice chat or bedroom use ( that sounds kinky…). Keycaps Two cables are included with the Durgod Taurus K320 Nebula. One is a standard USB Type-C to USB Type-A which computers and legacy devices without newer USB Type-C plugs will require. The second cable has Type-C connectors on both ends. The USB-C to Type-A cable is about 6-feet long. That’s a good length for desktop use, but you may want a shorter cable for use with mobile phones, tablets and other portable devices. For this reason the second USB-C cable is about half the length, measuring a little over 3-feet (40-inches to be exact) long. Two USB Cables: This keyboard comes with two cables, a USB-C to USB-A, and a USB-C to USB-C. While I only have use for former, it is nice that they include the Mac-friendly cable.

Considering this is a gaming keyboard it needs to be capable of withstanding some pretty heavy abuse on a daily basis. Durgod has produced a really strong product that should be up to the task. Normally at this point I would disassemble the keyboard to examine the internal parts and build quality. Unfortunately I was unable to find a way to remove the top plastic shell from the bottom case without breaking it, and I wasn’t willing to do that. Conclusion On The Durgod Taurus K320 NebulaSince I have the K320 without RGB, I won’t be utilizing the software that often. Still, it is good to know that the software is easily navigable as occasionally you will find a difficult software with other keyboards.
