About this deal

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. The corners of the case are rounded off nicely and the bezels are small. Branding is also sparse with only a small text logo in white visible on the front right of the case. Though I would have preferred Durgod to use their symbol logo instead of the text branding. In my opinion that would look nicer and be even more unobtrusive.

In contrast, PBT ( Polybutylene Terephthalate) is a tougher material that retains its texture much longer, doesn’t shine when worn and won’t yellow at all. ABS has merits of its own. It’s cheaper, easier to mold and has more color options making it a popular material for aftermarket keysets. However, PBT is generally viewed as a superior keycap material for longevity. 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.The software that comes with this keyboard is really easy to use. Through software you can assign keys and edit macros seamlessly. The keycaps are all at different heights and angles to make typing more comfortable by reduce the distance your fingers have to reach to press keys. 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.

The stabilizers contribute to the awesome sound created when keys are hit, which makes using this keyboard super enjoyable. The Features ABS ( Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a plastic material that will yellow with UV exposure (Ever seen old SNES consoles?) and shine from wear. Old keyboards with ABS keycaps often look greasy. Well that’s not grease ( though depending on the user it might be), it’s actually the ABS being worn down to a very smooth finish.Increasingly Mac users are ditching their Apple keyboards and seeking the more comfortable and satisfying experience of mechanical keyboards. Mechanical keyboards often come with a few pieces that help get you started, which is really helpful to have everything in one place right when you receive the keyboard.

Durgod k320 Features a Sturdy case with adjustable feets so you can prop the keyboard up at an angle to relieve your wrists. (2 positions) 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. If you have been frustrated by affordable keyboards with keyboards with awful stabilizers, the Durgod K320 will definitely give you some relief.

The keycaps are floating, which means the base of the switches are exposed. With this keycap style, hair and small particles may collect easily in crevices and under keycaps, but this also means that it is very easy to clean.

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 switches are really the selling point for the Durgod K320. On afforadable keyboards especially, it really seems like a toss-up on whether the stabilizers will be rattly or smooth. This keyboard is simple and reliable, I can’t say enough about how good the typing experience is on the K320. I would like to see in the future this keyboard have the wireless option or hotswappability, but at its price point you I can’t complain about what this keyboard offers. The K320 Nebula already has a slight natural incline, so giving users the choice of a smaller angle adjustment is great. The large feet raised the keyboard too much for my liking, but the smaller feet provide the perfect typing angle according to my own personal preferences. You should be able to find a suitable angle of your own, whether you keep the keyboard flat or make use of the flip-out feet. You have three levels of height adjust: without the feet it sits 1.5-inches high, the small flip-out feet raise it to 1.75-inches and finally the large flip-out feet max the angle at 2-inches high.

Though it does not have the features of hot-swappability or Bluetooth, the Durgod K320 does the basics with utmost quality. 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. Connectivity is provided by detachable USB Type-C. Type-C is the newest USB standard that has many advantages over the Mini or Micro USB ports found on older mechanical keyboards. USB-C is a more durable connection method that provides higher power delivery, reversible connectors and improved bandwidth capacity over older USB iterations. Durgod k320 keyboard adds many functions that you can access via FN + combination key (eg. Shortcut to media key). The K320 has a no-frills yet appealing aesthetic, perfect for an office or any other professional environment. A two-tone keycap design and high-contrast legends contribute to this functional, sleek look.
