Durgod Taurus K310 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – 104 Keys – Double Shot PBT – USB Type C – ANSI US Layout (Cherry Blue, Grey)

My corsair K65 and the K70 both stuck keys.

The Durgod is perfect so far.

Only complaint is the lack of media controls. Holding function and reaching across the keyboard kinda sucks. I know, but it would be nice.

It is sleek to the sight and to the touch and the second one I’ve purchased. Great for keeping my loud typing to a minimum at work and home and but the keys still feel responsive. Having some trouble getting the software to work…but figured out the hot keys for changing RGB on the keyboard on the top right. I get so many compliments on this too!

Amazing keyboard, recommend a pad under wrist as its a chunky boi. Great sound, sturdy. Everything i wanted.

After using this keyboard for several weeks I decided that I could not live with the keycaps. The dark grey keys were just too dark and the keys with a double function were marked side by side instead of up and down like old school, so I decided to replace them. I replaced them with an all white set from MISTEL at a cost of $55. When changing over the keycaps I decided to keep the Durgod primary letter keys but replaced all others. The MISTEL keys were a perfect match with the Durgod keycaps that I retained. I now have a keyboard with all-white keys that have a layout exactly like the old IBM keyboards. This will be my keyboard for a very long time – love it.

I purchased the model with unlighted White keys and Cherry Blue switches.

A great keyboard true to the tradition of previous great keyboards like the IBM, Model M, only better. The build quality is beyond reproach. The sound of the keys, positively affected by the baffling and weight of the entire keyboard can only be described as pure perfection – especially the sound of the Space Bar. Can anything on the keyboard be improved? Yes, just one thing. The gray keys are a little too dark. A lighter shade of gray would allow better contrast with the black markings. Other than that, perfect.

I want to praise Durgod for bringing to market a great keyboard available without under-cap lighting. Nearly all of todays’ keyboards have under-cap lighting which I find, despite their popularity, distracting and of zero benefit to either gaming or business.

What can I say? I had no idea that investing in a mechanical keyboard would make this much of a difference.
I knew I wanted a change, and something that would be more satisfying and responsive than my cheap $40 gaming keyboard, so I went on a quest to find something better.

I started out by ordering a New Model M from Unicomp, and I really loved the way it felt and looked, and especially that it was so solid, coming in at 7 pounds… but it was just too loud for my tiny office.

I then purchased this keyboard, but with the Brown MX switches. It felt amazing, but I was surprised to find that it was still too loud, although definitely not as loud as a Model M. Finally, I sent that back and reordered with the Silent Red MX switches, and I am in paradise.

I watched some YouTube videos comparing the sounds of the different MX switches, and realized that the Silent Red MX switches are not really silent, they are just the quietest of them all, which is what I was looking for: to still have some sound, but for it to not be annoying to me, my wife, or whoever I might be on a call with (I like to type notes during meetings).

Every keystroke is so satisfying.. it travels such a nice distance and the light pushback against my fingers after each press makes me feel very much in control of what I’m inputting. Particularly satisfying is the repeated use of a button, like the backspace or an arrow key. Being a child of the 80s/90s, I also really love the classic white w/ grey keys layout… it brings me back.

This thing is build solid, and the weight is very reassuring. It’s only been a week, and I’ll be sure to update my review if anything goes wrong, but it feels like this thing is going to last a long time. I’m also pretty sure that I’ll be unable to happily use anything other than a mechanical keyboard from this point forward.

My ‘R’ key is not working properly anymoe. Have to pess it multiple times to make it work. I’d like to know if there is a waranty or some sort available. It has been about 9 months since purchase. Thanks.

I replaced a model M because I wanted lower volume. This is my 4th modern mechanical keyboard (the real model Ms in the 80s don’t count).

It is hefty and solid and feels good typing while the click sounds are (relatively) quiet without O rings added.
If there was a quieter one I’d buy that.

It might seem to be on the more expensive side. But you definitely get a nice quality keyboard. I highly recommend it.

This keyboard is incredible. I ordered the Space Grey with Cherry Silent Red switches. The switches sound and feel amazing. They are nice and quiet and have a almost “velvety” feel. Sure $140 is a lot, but in my opinion it is more than worth it. They include and great key-puller, and all the cables you would need. The packaging was simple and clean, and the overall build quality of the board is beautiful. I am very happy with my purchase. I highly recommend.

I really love this keyboard. Feels great and has good keycaps. I took the brown mx switches which feels great as well, but its a more personal taste I guess.

I absolutely love it, one of the best purchases i’ve made on Amazon. It feels made of quality and the typing experience is just lovely.

I like everything about this keyboard except the fact it does not have any backlighting. Keyboard is extremely sturdy, very little flex when trying to bend. The removable cable works well – and is USB C so can easily be replaced. There is cable routing that allows you to route the cable to the left, right and center.

Overall a great keyboard.

Bought 2 of these for work (for myself and co-worker) to replace our aging Logitech keyboards.

Build quality is really good on this. Keyboard has good weight and doesn’t move around.
The mechanical switches have a satisfying tactile feel and audible click. There is little to no rattle in the larger keys (space bar, shift, enter) like I’ve experience with other mechanical keyboards. The stabilizers work well.

The keycaps on this keyboard are great. They are soft texture to them typing, difficult to describe but makes the typing experience that much better.

I like the keyboard so much, I ordered another one for my home office. Would definitely recommend this product.

Would be nice to have dedicated media controls, but for the quality provided I can live without them.
Using FN key and F1 to F8, you can control the media and volume anyways.

I picked up this keyboard to replace the two I was using between my work setup and home PC (Home keyboard too loud with blue switches but the work membrane keyboard? I don’t need to explain why it has to go.)

This thing types beautifully and its obvious the moment you open up the package how high quality it is. It feels silly gushing over a keyboard but I’ve only ever dabbled with lower end mechanicals and I didn’t appreciate how nice a higher end would feel in my hands.

I already feel more confident typing on this thing than I do with my home blue-switches keyboard that has been my staunch co-pilot through years of gaming. And it has the kind of quiet class and cool looks like fits any kind of setup, work or home gaming.

Highly recommend!

(As a note for anyone wondering, you have full control over a spectrum of lighting styles on the Corona including disabling the backlight entirely), and the monochrome white LED looks gorgeous on any of them.)

I process mortgages, write a lot of emails and things of that nature for work. I wanted a keyboard that really gave me a typing experience that I was longing for but I couldn’t quite put my finger on what that experience feels like. With that said, I have had this for a couple of hours and have just clocked in and I felt the need to write this. I got the cherry red silent switches, which when paired with the finish on the key caps of this piece of equipment, makes for the best typing experience I have ever experienced. Money well spent, looking for forward to using this for years to come as my career progresses. 10 / 10 would recommend.

I love this keyboard. I bought the Taurus 320 TKL Cherry Brown 8 months ago and it was my favourite keyboard until I bought this one (Taurus 310 104 key Cherry Black). The black switches are amazing. Extremely satisfying thock against the metal plate. They are quite heavy and it took me an hour before I was striking the keys well coming of the brown switches. But it’s difficult to imagine using anything else now to be honest. The software is incredibly simple – so simple it looks like it couldn’t possibly work. But it does. Well. Every bit as well as Corsair’s iCUE. Just without the bells and whistles. The keycaps are PBT and a good thickness. I don’t have a pair of calipers handy but I can compare them to other boards I’ve had. They’re thicker than: the DasKeyboard Pro 4 stock caps, Corsair K95 & K63 stocks, ROG Claymore stock and Puri Cougar stock caps. I reckon they very close to the thickness of Tai-Hao’s Double Shot PBT caps. And waaay thinker than Tai-Haos’ Double Shot ABS. I’d recommend this board to anyone. I have no idea how it compares to a Leopold or a Varmilo or a Ducky… but it’s sturdier in build and acoustics than any Corsair or Asus ROG I’ve ever had. And needless to say, any Cougar, Royal Kludge, or Redragon as well. I’d say it’s almost as robust as my DasKeyboard Pro 4… and that’s not something I’d ever describe another keyboard as.

l:dr: it is great for work, a must buy

I tested this keyboard for one day at the time of this review, on Linux Manjaro, mostly for work. I will update this review if anything changes.
The product arrived fast, it is just as described by the seller.
The exterior is beautiful, their key caps are well printed and they feel good on your fingertips.
It comes with two cables, one ends in USB-A and the other in C.The A is longer and it was best for my main computer. I also used the C on another computer. It helped my productivity because you could switch computers using the same keyboard by just swappingthe cables.
It comes with a tool to remove the keycaps, it is a nice decision. It helps with maintenance, and you can check the switches and the quality of the build. I didn’t fullyopen the keyboard to check the insides yet.
I love that it worked out of the box with Linux, including the numpad and fn keys. Good keyboards work without much hassle on Linux.
I used all the keys, and they are working fine so far. I use a lot of the numpad, It is great, if you do not use the numpad I suggest you try their other version K320.My partner liked this keyboard. I will probably get that version for her after she tries this one for a while.
Being Red Silent doesn’t mean it is inaudible, but it is quieterthan most keyboards I tried.
It works ok for games, I do not like the design of most keyboards for games, any keyboard, they are just an evolution of typewriters.

As I grew up playingon keyboards, I don’t think anything beats the left side of the Steelseries Merc(keyboard wise), but they do not produce it anymore.

If you want to get into mechanicalkeyboards but don’t want to build your own yet. Durgod is a wise choice to get a feeling of it.

First of all, this is an AMAZING keyboard. I was a bit sceptical at first. Coming from a Razer huntsman elite with the clicky keys. I really wanted silent cherry mx browns. God these keys are so amazing. So so amazing. I bought the backlit one. And white is the only color available and needed. It’s amazing. This keyboard is so sturdy and has 0 bend. It’s the best keyboard I’ve ever used. The durgod software is a little wacky but still works better than razers synapse. So it’s good in my book. This is just such an amazing keyboard and so much cheaper than the expensive Logitech and Razer keyboards.

This is a very initial review, but I’m super impressed. It’s so much better than my laptop keyboard and the Logitech board I bought for my desktop (not a mechanical keyboard). I touch type and my accuracy is so much better.

Keyboard construction is super solid, keys (Cherry Reds) are amazing, and the cords are well made too. I was surprised it was delivered in it’s retail box (not in a brown shipping box) but there were no problems

The keyboard sounds and feels great. I bought it as an upgrade to an old Microsoft multi-media membrane keyboard that I’ve been using for the past seven years. The backlighting is bright and stunning, the Cherry Brown switches feel great and give me feedback that the keypress actually registered, and the color scheme isn’t gimmicky like other “gaming” mechanical keyboards.

However, all is not perfect with this keyboard. When plugged into the Dell WD19TB’s USB ports, the keyboard will stop responding if data is being transferred to other USB devices connected to the dock. This includes audio being routed through the dock’s 3.5mm jacks since they utilize USB audio routing from the host PC. When frozen, the keyboard will not send any keystrokes to the PC, but functions such as changing the lighting effects will still work. The only work-around is to unplug the keyboard, wait a few seconds, and the plug it back in again. However, it’ll still freeze after about a minute or so. This issue has affected the host PC too by resulting in a BSOD.

I keep the keyboard plugged directly into an open USB port on the host PC. It’s a bummer, but not a deal breaker. The only inconvenience this causes is it isn’t a one-cable solution I’ve been hoping for, but it still works, and in the end, is still a better keyboard than what I’ve been using previously. Your mileage may vary from mine as well if you use a different brand or type of dock.

I still recommend this keyboard.

Quality and feeling is excellent. Weight, stability on my desk, wobbling of the keys its all excellent. You can feel that this keyboard is above the average, no doubt about it. Looks awesome too 🙂 Cables management / adapters are nice too.

Must say that my expectations are also very high for a keyboard of that price range.

I’ve been using it for three weeks as a full time programmer, average 40k keystrokes per day.
Brown keys are noisy ‘enough’, still some of those keys are feeling ‘sandy’ when slowly pressed (some says it normal, some says it is not).

Now, am I impressed ? Nope. It’s not a day and night situation, game changer between other keyboards I’ve tried so far. Yes it’s good, yes the sounds is awesome, yes it’s a big brand, the layout is standard, it’s all excellent but nothing outstanding I’ve found. Maybe i’m wrong; no ego there. So for the 175$ paid, I do believe that there is many more alternatives to try out; including this one since it’s an awesome mech keyboard.

This is my first keyboard with cherry red switches. My favorite switch before this were cherry browns. But after using this for about a month now, I can definitely say that reds are the way to go! Sure, they don’t have that somewhat tactile feel when activating the switch. But what you get instead is a buttery smooth travel that makes it feel like you’re typing on air. The overall quality of this keyboard is superb! Keycaps feel super premium, and the chassis does not flex. The only downside is the customization software – the Zeus Engine. Its super complicated to understand and takes a while to mess with in order for it to work. So I just don’t use it. Still a fantastic keyboard though.

Its built like a tank and the mechanical keys are perfect.

You see, I currently use a Happy Hacking Keyboard, and have been using one for 1.5 yrs. It’s kinda limited, and hotkeys require a lot of dexterity and whatnot. I was on the search for larger keyboard with a navigational panel, and since I’m a student, I figured the numpad would also be helpful.

It arrived quickly in the middle of the pandemic (2 days!), and upon opening the box, I could immediately tell this was a nice keyboard. This was my first experience with Cherry MX Silent Red switches and…man…much quieter than the topre keys of the HHKB. I can corroborate that the K310 is built well and functions nicely.

If I had kept it, I would have had one gripe: the key remapping software is…annoying. I just wanted to remap the caps lock to left ctrl and vice versa, since I’ve grown accustomed to that on my HHKB, and think it’s just easier on the hands. Again, it worked. But, the problem was alt-tabbing didn’t work well. Usually, you can press the combo, release the tab, and the windows will just sit there. And you can press tab to cycle through window by window. But with the Zeus Engine, it just kept cycling like I was holding down tab. Pressing shift stopped it…but that shouldn’t be a problem to begin with.

Still though, I’m spoiled by the size of the HHKB and I couldn’t handle a full size keyboard on my desk, as awesome as the K310 is. And after the hassle with the Zeus Engine software, I don’t think I’ll get a K320 either.

This is the best keyboard I have ever used. Solid build quality, beautiful switches and the keycaps are very comfortable to type on. My typing speed increased noticeably just by changing from the $14 emergency keyboard I bought from Officeworks after the one that came with my PC died. I would have been sceptical that simply changing to a different keyboard would have just a dramatic effect, but wow. If you’re looking for a keyboard that has the look and feel of the no-nonsense keyboards of the 20th century, but with modern lines and switches, this is definitely it.

The ONLY thing I can find that is perhaps less than desirable is the slight metallic thunk when the keys bottom out on the steel baseplate, but this is hardly a deal breaker and is only really noticeable when typing in complete silence. Considering how the keys sound otherwise, it’s a non-issue.

In all honesty, if you asked me for a wishlist for my perfect keyboard, this model would tick every box.

Sorry to waffle on so much, but I’m typing this review on this keyboard and its so nice I don’t want to stop.

Its satisfying weight and gray, professional demeanor embodies the grace and flowing elegance of a well-written essay. With the crisp staccato of its keystrokes, the precision of its action, a lack of gauche LED lighting, and minimalist, subdued appearance, it finds its calling distilling the richness of the Human Experience into written language. Effortless, communicative, tactile, it is a rare, high-tech device of the smartphone age built with the faithful, unassuming sensibilities of a classic Smith Corona.
