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. What’s neat about the USB-C connection of the K320 Nebula is the retention method Durgod has implemented. The Type-C connector that plugs into the keyboard has protruding ridges on each side that slide into grooves molded into the keyboard’s case. This method holds the cable very securely without putting additional pressure on the USB-C port, which is a common failure point of mechanical keyboards. You won’t have any worries in regards to the USB failing due to stress on the port. It’s just one of Durgod’s many simple yet smart design features. 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 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. 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.

Though it does not have the features of hot-swappability or Bluetooth, the Durgod K320 does the basics with utmost quality. 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.Lots of accessories, including: 2 USB cables, branded cable tie, dust cover and a wire keycap puller. A smaller set of flip-out feet is inset inside the larger ones ( hence the 2-stage design). This smaller set of inset flip-out feet only raise the keyboard an additional quarter inch, from 1.5-inches without feet to 1.75 inches with the smaller feet flipped out. 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.

stage flip-out feet (rubber tipped) that provide more control over typing angle and high traction on a flat surface. 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. Increasingly Mac users are ditching their Apple keyboards and seeking the more comfortable and satisfying experience of mechanical keyboards. 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.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. Unboxing the product reveals the keyboard along with many accessories and a detailed manual in both English and Chinese. Connectivity is provided by detachable USB Type-C. Type-C is the newest USB standard that has many advantages over the Mini or Micro USB ports found on older mechanical keyboards. USB-C is a more durable connection method that provides higher power delivery, reversible connectors and improved bandwidth capacity over older USB iterations. The K320 has a no-frills yet appealing aesthetic, perfect for an office or any other professional environment. A two-tone keycap design and high-contrast legends contribute to this functional, sleek look. The Durgod K320 can work with both operating systems, and though the keycaps are Windows oriented, you can change the functions via software to maximize compatibility.

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… ABS ( Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a plastic material that will yellow with UV exposure (Ever seen old SNES consoles?) and shine from wear. Old keyboards with ABS keycaps often look greasy. Well that’s not grease ( though depending on the user it might be), it’s actually the ABS being worn down to a very smooth finish. 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. 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. It’s helpful that Durgod includes a USB-C to USB-C cable that can work with the new Mac ports. Durgod Zeus Engine Software The software that comes with this keyboard is really easy to use. Through software you can assign keys and edit macros seamlessly.
