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

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.

Best prenium full size mechanical keyboard on amazon (Corona color, Backlit, Cherry MX Brown)
The keyboard really does worth it’s price. Build quality is on point, it feels solid with it’s ~5lbs. Keys don’t have texture, but they are far away from being slippery. Cherry browns are perfect to feel a tactile yet still a silent experience.

My only complaint is about the backlit, but don’t expect the best in class lightning in this keyboard. It’s still very bright but don’t cover everything on larger keys (see picture).

I give this keyboard a 4/5, but I would give it a 9/10 if Amazon were giving more stars! It’s worth it 😉

Great mechanical 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.

Absolutely beautiful, no regrets.
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.

I was looking for a new keyboard and really like the look and that it used Cherry switches. It makes that click-click noise I remember form the original IBM PC keyboard from the 80’s. Very well made. I just wish they had replacement key caps for it with the Mac keys since I use an iMac. I’m looking if anyone comes across any.

Beautiful Keyboard
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!

Built like a tank, stays solidly in place, great switch feel
This keyboard is a bit pricey but I have to say that it’s built like a tank.

The weight of the metal chassis keeps it stuck to the desk, I love that. It drives me crazy when keyboards keep creeping around as I’m hammering along on them.

I went with the Cherry MX brown key switches. They have a moderate tension, no buckling spring feel (bit noisy but quieter than buckling spring clicks) and they clack positively when they bottom. It reminds me of old commercial electric typewriters which is what I learned to type on. This feels like a commercial data terminal keyboard, very very nice.

A bit expensive but feels like it will last for a good long time. The only other nit to pick is that so many keyboards have short cords now. I like a tower on the floor a few feet away and this one just makes it. I would have liked another two feet on it for easier routing. The good news is that I could just get a USB extension cable if I want to stretch it further.

This is noisier than my MK710 Logitech, so I can't use it. So much for not having people hate me on con calls! The build is INCREDIBLY solid, and I would imagine it would last for three generations of typing. The lighting is AMAZING. Great keyboard, but they shouldn't call it silent, or at least add a caveat that it is silent compared to other mechanical keyboards.

Initial review: great keyboard
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

Perfect... Unless You're Using a Thunderbolt Dock
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.

Feels pretty good,the brown switch is very smooth for the first time use

That's how good it is. I've never had a more elegant, sleek, streamlined, simple, and beautifully functional typing experience than on this keyboard. I find my fingers enjoying their new home so much that I begin typing out full addresses in address bars on browsers, using full form grammar and punctuation when typing out messages to friends, and simply holding on the home row when reading behind my desk. An aesthetically pleasing and thoroughly sonically enjoyable experience. Option was Cherry MX Silent red.

I goofed - was looking for a wireless rechargeable keyboard, basically either option - this one must be connected and does not have a battery to it. However, I did open it and use it a bit, for the value it's a great keyboard if that's what you're looking for in a keyboard. If I wanted the cables, I'd keep this one for sure, I'd rank it one of the better "basic"/"intro" mechanical keyboards - there's a small cult following and they can get really expensive and specialized. For an average Joe who wants a decent keyboard, I'd go for this one again - just didn't have the wireless capabilities I was looking for.

The keyboard has outstanding build quality. It feels like it could survive the apocalypse. The Keys are great, the deck is solid and the key switches are outstanding. I got the CherryMX Red Silents which have a little mush to them which can be annoying for some typers, but I got used to them pretty quick. This thing is a amazing. especially compared to my OEM keyboard which came with a Dell PC I bough nearly 7 years ago.

Love everything about this keyboard. Got the cherry silent red switches. Quiet, responsive, and looks great too.

Simply perfect.
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.

Sturdy Keyboard.
It’s a really sturdy keyboard. My one gripe is that it seems that sometimes the ‘a’ key sticks. However this is probably just a one off due to shipping damage (it arrived to Canada repackaged and even that was best up).

I guess it just goes to show how well made these keyboards really are if they can withstand that much abuse.

almost perfection in a keyboard. WELL worth it!
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.

White keyboard with cherry mx blue switches. Never going back to anything else.
