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

I don't know what to expect for a keyboard for around $100, buy my god, this thing is SO nice! PROS: It's lightweight, being TKL, it doesn't take up space on my already small desk and it doesn't have that overdone, gamer look to it. The switches are generously factory pre-lubed and they sound very nice. It's got a nice tactile clack to the keystrokes and the metallic pings are little, if at all, to non-existent. CONS: A slight con, but not really, is the non-backlit keyboard. Granted, it's already cheap at a very solid quality so it's understandable that it's not added, though, the $30 or so premium they offer to have it backlit isn't worth it to me. The the other negative I have is the space bar rattle. The tail ends of the space bar are experiencing some rattling and I most likely need to add some foam underneath the stabilizer switches to fix it. Overall, the keyboard offers a very enjoyable typing experience at very competitive price. It does away with the overdone gamer aesthetic, it's small, sleek and I would HIGHLY recommend it anyone who wants to pick up a solid mechanical keyboard without breaking their bank.

Was looking for a replacement for my old Logitech G610 which had really scratchy switches (probably before retooling) and worn down keycaps. After a bit of digging found this keyboard. For $99 this is a no brainer. Even for more this would be a no brainer. The good: - Amazing switch feel. Probably using Retooled Cherry MX switches so they're not scratchy like pre-2016 switches. - Robust build quality: There's barely any flex to the body, probably because of the internal steel plate. The plastic feels good. The body is made of plastic but it feels really rigid and it has a good touch. The finish will NOT show fingerprints or oils easily. - Lubed stabilizers: What else can I say? The feel of good, lubed stabilizers is amazing. No rattle at all, and it feels like am pressing an actual key and not a sponge. - Double shot, quality PBT keycaps. Around 1.2mm thick according to my measurements. They won't wear off over time and the letters have a great contrast and are crisp. Doubleshot means they use two pieces of plastic molded together to create the lettering (oversimplification), so they will never wear off or lose their feeling. The fact they're PBT also means they will take quite a lot longer to shine up, so you can expect them to look new easily. - USB-C: Somehow this is still not common on some keyboards, but this one has it. USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cable included, no dongles needed. The bad: - I honestly couldn't find a single bad thing about this keyboard. If am gonna be nitpicky I would say the caps lock key has a little bit of a wonky font that is thicker at the start and thinner at the end. Why?. Also no braided cable, but you can buy that separately if you wish.

This is an incredible keyboard. I purchase the white/grey with cherry brown switches. It's my first ever mechanical keyboard, and now I understand a lot of the awe that goes into owning one. Compared to other mechanical keyboards in this price range, I'd say you get way more quality out of a Durgod. It is heavy, sturdy, and built to last. There are 3 height levels to choose from, so you can make it feel just right for your hands. There's even customizability with where the wire exits the back of the keyboard -- you can choose it to be from the left, middle or right side. The keyboard's color scheme is fairly easy to match to other things, if you care about a themed setup. The keycaps that come with it are a brighter, more pure white than the body of the keyboard. The colors are so close that they do not clash, and it is still a very clean looking keyboard without needing to change the keycaps. In my photos, I have an artisanal keycap on the escape button. If you want to spruce up your keeb with fun colors and cool keycaps, this is definitely an easy keyboard to do that to! Overall, I am exceedingly happy with my decision to purchase this keyboard. If I had the option to go back and pick another, I would not!

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 can't tell you how long I've been looking for a keyboard with everything on my checklist. Finally found what I was looking for. Pros: Great feeling ABS keycaps Cherry switches, brown in my case Vibrant RGB aided by a white base plate Detachable USB-C ( includes a c-c and c-a cable ) Cable routing Nice clean look. Not overly "gamery". Rock solid feel. No flex. Nice solid typing sound. Pre lubed stabilizers. Can save a profile that stays without software. Cons: Software is a little buggy. Does what it's supposed to but could be better. Supposed to be able to have multiple profiles you can switch using a hot key but I can't get it to switch. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but it saves one and won't switch to the others that are supposed to be saved. Overall would definitely recommend. Price is ok compared to the competition but you get more than a lot of competing boards. If you don't want RGB you can save $30-40 on the non RGB version.

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.

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.

I purchased the Durgod Taurus K320 TKL (non-backlight version) with Cherry MX Brown switches. This is my first mechanical keyboard, so take my opinion lightly to the veteran enthusiasts. My principal usage for the keyboard is typing essays and articles, but I do enjoy some gaming on the side. I prefer the tactile bump of the Cherry MX Brown's, which I tried out in a retail store a while ago, so I already knew what switches I wanted. The keycaps are wonderful and feel like a dream; they remind me of my keyboard I had about 20 years ago in both the font and the feel, so maybe there is some sense of nostalgia. I never found a need for the number pad on my full-size keyboard, so the TKL was a natural fit for me. It feels very sturdy, and the rubber standees keep it from moving around on my desk. I enjoy the routing options under the board, which allow me to run the included cable either left or right. I was debating between this keyboard the Keychron but the height of the keycaps/board and the angle of the board was a real turn off for me. This keyboard does not require a wrist rest and is very comfortable. If you can forgo the gamer aesthetic, this is the keyboard for you. It has changed the way I think about keyboards and is absolutely worth the steep price tag.
