About this deal

Since I have the K320 without RGB, I won’t be utilizing the software that often. Still, it is good to know that the software is easily navigable as occasionally you will find a difficult software with other keyboards. Let me start by saying that this keyboard has a super sleek, pleasing appearance. I sometimes find tenkeyless keyboards to be clunky and We have the space grey color scheme, which is a nice two-tone grey design. This makes it difficult to fit other cables than the ones included, but the cable management paths allow you to direct the cable out of sides or middle to fit what works with your setup. 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. 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.

Even better still the legends don’t have that stenciled appearance with gaps in some characters, which is unfortunately common on cheaper doubleshot keysets. Some of the keycaps have side-printed legends that notate the corresponding Fn layer (media keys, brightness adjustment, etc.). Standard size homing bumps are located on the F and J keys for easy hand placement on home row. 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 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. The Durgod Taurus K320 Nebula RGB may be heavily marketed toward the gaming sector, but don’t let that scare you away by thinking it follows form over function. This keyboard is well built, quiet and designed for functionality with a style that should appeal to gamers without feeling too out of place in a business environment. The Durgod Taurus K320 Nebula RGB is a product of many talents; whether you want a quality mechanical gaming keyboard with NKRO and RGB everywhere or a quiet, programmable and highly adjustable keyboard for the office. The stabilizers contribute to the awesome sound created when keys are hit, which makes using this keyboard super enjoyable. The Features

K320 Nebula Layout, Features & Aesthetics

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.

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 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. 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. Lots of accessories, including: 2 USB cables, branded cable tie, dust cover and a wire keycap puller.

Considering this is a gaming keyboard it needs to be capable of withstanding some pretty heavy abuse on a daily basis. Durgod has produced a really strong product that should be up to the task. Normally at this point I would disassemble the keyboard to examine the internal parts and build quality. Unfortunately I was unable to find a way to remove the top plastic shell from the bottom case without breaking it, and I wasn’t willing to do that. Conclusion On The Durgod Taurus K320 Nebula This keyboard has become one of my favorites for the sheer typing experience alone, and I think it would be an incredible option for working from home or gaming. This particular Durgod gaming keyboard also has a secret hidden under the hood. Silenced Cherry MX linear switches for much quieter gaming experiences and tolerable noise levels for typing in the workplace. Just how quiet are they? Does a dampened switch hurt the key feel? Let’s find out…

Unboxing the product reveals the keyboard along with many accessories and a detailed manual in both English and Chinese. The cables aren’t braided. Just a standard soft plastic/rubber coating. I prefer braided cables because they provide extra protection from tears and fraying. They also look nice and feel more premium. You can obviously use your own custom USB-C cable, but then you’ll lose the retention feature. One of my few complaints. 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. The small loss in key feel is a more than fair trade-off for those who want the mechanical experience, but can’t tolerate the typical noise levels produced from mechanical keyboards. Ideal for office environments, online gaming that requires voice chat or bedroom use ( that sounds kinky…). Keycaps The software that comes with this keyboard is really easy to use. Through software you can assign keys and edit macros seamlessly.

Velcro cable management attachment: A little handy item that can help deal with unruly cables, this attachment can be placed on your desk to keep cables from getting in the way of your setup. 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. The K320 really shines with its top-notch stabilizers, that come out of the box with no rattling, shaking, or ringing. Combined with Cherry MX switches, typing on the K320 produces a pleasing sound and feel that you are sure to love.
