DURGOD Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Cherry MX Red Switches Type C Interface Tenkeyless 104 Keys (with Dust Cover) for Gamer/Typist White,ANSI/US

so first, lets get the bad out of the way....1) the switches. some people may love cherry mx switches... but i personally dont. there is too much wobble in the stem, which is just a side effect of the design.2) the software leaves a lot to be desired. it is GOOD... it does what it says it can do (macros, key remapping, speed, etc) but it has little annoyances that they are still working out the bugs on (it states pretty clearly that its beta software in the app). it has to stay open and running for anything to work 100% as far as macros or key remapping. but, its just annoyances... it all works.thats pretty much it for the bad. the good:1) this board is SOLID. i disassembled mine (yes, i know i voided warranty - but more on that later) and the steel plate the switches are mounted to is THICK and turned up on the edges for even more rigidity.2) the gunmetal color and white are both nice touches. they look good.3) the keycaps are pretty impressive. they are pbt doubleshot and have a soft almost velveety feel to them. they are definitely quality caps. every legend is perfect... alignment is perfect... just an amazing set of keycaps.4) the insides are almost as nice as the outside. there was a lot of care put into this board, and its obvious from the internals.5) smart placement on the indicator lights. ive had lots of boards that throw the indicators just a few mm above the num lock row. if you are sitting over the board, you can see them.... but lean back in your seat a little, and they are impossible to see. not this board! they are smartly placed inline with the top row, so they are visible from any angle, and are noticeable but not bright so they arent distracting. really smart layout.5) detachable usb-c cable. and get this... they groove the usb-c area to allow you to plug the thing in without even looking (if you use their cable that is). but, the grooves arent in the way, so any cable will work just fine. thats a smart idea and nice touch. the little things really make an impact.6) they include BOTH a usb-c to usb-c cable, and a usb-c to usb-a cable, so no matter what... as long as you have an open usb port, you can use it. boards that cost twice this much barely include 1 of the options.7) the stabilizers - WOW. when i opened this board up to start working, i expected to find cheap stabilizers. i was surprised to find pre-modded (clipped) cherry stabilizers that were well lubed. this makes ALL the difference when typing. as a result, there is ZERO rattle on this board. just nice solid clicks.i was given one of these boards, and loved it so much (which is rare, because as i said - i hate cherry switches) that i bought a second one. when i did, i decided to open up the one that was given to me, and desolder every switch in there. i replaced them with Novelkeys + Kailh Box Heavy Burnt Orange switches, and as soon as i finished (which was no quick task) the difference was night and day. this is my new favorite board... i absolutely love it now. the heavy orange switches give this thing a solid thunk when typing, and just enough resistance and tactility that its absolutely perfection. (DURGOD: IF YOU READ THIS - PLEASE CONSIDER KAILH BOX SWITCHES IN THE FUTURE!)This is an amazing board, at an amazing price. if you like cherry switches, this keyboard is a no brainer - it is perfection. but even if you dont... its absolutely worth the time consider buying this as to use as a kit and replace the switches with something you like. the switches are all plate mounted, and easy to do with a few hours and $40-80 worth of switches. (warning: not recommended for someone new to soldering or building your own keyboard)the end result on this board is something i would have gladly paid hundreds for. but i did it for less than $150, and a few hours time. well worth it.

This mechanical keyboard has a reassuringly heavy heft, as a result of the steel plate that serve as the backbone of this unit. Cherry MX Brown switches are relatively quiet, but don't provide as much feedback as clickier switches. PBT double-shot keycaps are durable and easy to clean. Sync flawlessly to my Mac. This is my third Durgod keyboard (2 with number pad and 1 without) and I continue to be impressed by this manufacturer. Good value!

Highlight** Black color choice K310 keyboard does not have Doubleshot PBT keycaps. It’s very light and thin, cheap made kecaps. The other colors of K310 are doubleshot PBT but just not the black one. I have to buy my own doubleshot PBT to replace the original one.I've been trying to find a full size mechanical keyboard but not the Razer brand and I haven't found one. I finally found Durgod is the only brand that makes full size mechanical keyboard other than Razer or cheaper quality brand. I have a Taurus K320 as well and before getting this K310 I have been using the K320. I have to say I thought the K310 would have the same texture of keycaps and weight as the K320 but actually the K310 is lighter in keycaps and less quality (I guess because they only sell $20 more than the K320 but you get a full size). The keycaps on K310 just feel more light and cheaper/ plastic touch but the K320 keyboard feels very sturdy and each keys feels more quality touch when you press on it. I bought both K320 and K310 the same Cherry MX Silent Red switch so they should be the same touch but the K310 has a different keycaps that is also different in appearance as well. The K310 keycaps are more sharp and rectangular, you can tell in the photos I attached of K310, the keycaps's corners are sharp instead of K320's keycaps come in rounded corner shape and no dusty feeling/ sound when touching the keycaps. The K310 keycaps give more of a pastel sound when you touch the keycaps. I prefer K320's keycaps more as it feels more solid than light pastel sound but that's a personal preference; maybe someone will prefer K310's keycaps better. I thought they would come in the same keycaps tho K320 and K310 that was one of the main reason why I bought K310 after using K320 because I thought it would just be the extended version of K320 but it's actually a different build. Overall though it's still really nice because the K310 works really nicely, the same software as K320: Durgod Zeus Engine. It's really easy to set your keyboard lighting; you just need to set the color profile and press ok (don't press apply it won't work). There are many kinds of lighting style you can choose and they have color gradation that are premade for you already so you can set the color on top of it. Overall K310 is a beautiful keyboard and feels heavy/ sturdy. I just got this for few days so I don't know how long it will last but we will find out :) Thank you Durgod!

The plastic that the keys are made up of are not good. I have one key after another one break.I've sent an email explaining and showing this with images to the seller / manufacturer, but never got an answer.I'm afraid I'm going to go ahead and recommend people stay away from this brand. I've had four (4) Durgod keyboards now. They all have this problem! Keyboard itself is the best I've ever had, but the keys keep breaking. They fall out, after the part that attaches to the Cherry key at the back of the key, cracks and splits in half. I tried gluing it but it doesn't last.I tried 3D printing replacement keys but they look silly and feel wrong.I'm very disappointed how the Durgod guys ignore my emails.

I'm older and this keyboard is so much easier on my hands. I spend all day at the computer at work and just love it. I make less typing errors. It is very consistent. I have had one for three years and purchased another for my home computer now.

I used this for about a week before gifting it to a friend who had not used a mechanical keyboard before. I have used mech. keyboard for close to a decade now and I found nothing really out of order about this keyboard. Everything functioned the way it was supposed to, the familiar cherry MX browns felt like MX browns this in short a perfectly fine keyboard.My only nitpick on this keyboard and it started bothering me when I was comparing it to my Corsair K95 also with MX browns is you get a lot more twang when you type with this keyboard. Its that springy twang sound, if you added O-rings to this that should eliminate most of that spring compression because it was and is only pronounced when you bottom out your keys. (I have heavy hands and a decade on of use I still can't stop myself from doing this.)

I work in an office where I need to type and enter data/numbers all day. This keyboard is extremely FAST, RELIABLE, and VERY COMFORTABLE. I can honestly say it's the best quality I've ever seen in a keyboard for a long time, and I love the colours! As an Office worker this will get the job done and then some.

This keyboard was pleasantly surprising. The switches feel great, and since the board is pre-lubed it's got a nice sound to it (though obviously not as good as if you did it yourself), and feels great to type on. The keycaps seem to be high-quality plastic with a lovely soft finish, and they feel to me like they'll last quite a while before wearing down. Even though the board has a fully plastic shell, the metal back plate makes the board much heavier than I expected at first glace, which adds to the feeling of quality. Unfortunately the cables are quite short, so you may need to find a longer cable to plug into your computer if it's under your desk rather than on top of it, but that's really my only complaint.Overall, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a better bang for buck 100% board. Highly recommended. if you need a mechanical board with a number pad, this should definitely be on your list.
