DURGOD Taurus K320 TKL Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - 87 Keys - Double Shot PBT - NKRO - USB Type C (Cherry Speed Silver, Space Grey)

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 wellWhat 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 regardSince 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.

Nine Month UpdateI'm raising my rating from 2 stars to 4. I haven't had any more problems since uninstalling Durgod software three months ago. It's a superb keyboard, but with atrocious software. I use it every day and haven't had any problems now that I've unstalled the software.Based on many of the reviews I've read, I was concerned about the keyboard's reliability, but so far that hasn't been an issue. I use this keyboard every day on my main computer. It's gotten a lot of use but has held up well. The keys feel solid and I like the feel. However because of the software problems, the next time I buy a keyboard, it won't be a Durgod.Original Review:I bought this six months ago and nearly returned it in the first 30 days after seeing how many negative commends there are about problems developing after 6-12 months, but decided to take a chance and keep it because of how much I like it. I'd previously ordered to competitors' mechanical keyboards but didn't like them. However this Durgod is nearly perfect.Or it was nearly perfect until this week, when it became a nuisance. I use my computer in my work and need it reliable, but suddenly a few days ago, typing became a problem, just after a Durgod engine update. Typing became increasingly difficult. Finally I could no longer type anything. Everytime I hit a key, I'd see an unrelated popup. I finally solved it by uninstalling the Durgot engine. It was fine for a day or day, but this morning it happened again. I've now uninstalled the Durgot compiler and now I'm able to type again, but I don't know how long this will last.It's really a shame. The keyboard itself is just about perfect. I'm a computer professional, I have three desktop computers and a server, and I've used lots of keyboards in my life, including three mechanical keyboards before this one. The Durgod is my favorite. But I have little patience for nonsense like this. I'm crossing my fingers that uninstalling all Durgod software will solve the problem. I'll post an update after I either have a solution or I decide to toss this keyboard and order a replacement.
