About this deal

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.

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 In contrast, PBT ( Polybutylene Terephthalate) is a tougher material that retains its texture much longer, doesn’t shine when worn and won’t yellow at all. ABS has merits of its own. It’s cheaper, easier to mold and has more color options making it a popular material for aftermarket keysets. However, PBT is generally viewed as a superior keycap material for longevity. The software that comes with this keyboard is really easy to use. Through software you can assign keys and edit macros seamlessly. 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.Wire keycap puller: A simple wire keycap puller is included to make easy changes to the keycaps if needed. Increasingly Mac users are ditching their Apple keyboards and seeking the more comfortable and satisfying experience of mechanical keyboards.

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 The Cherry MX browns sound really great while typing on this keyboard, no complaints here! You can feel a slight tactile bump on each keystroke, but nothing too crazy. The StabilizersMechanical 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. Are these the best PBT keycaps to come with a prebuilt mechanical keyboard? Nope. Are they better than almost every keyset found on “gaming” marketed mechanical keyboards. Yes, 100%. Stabilizers With an extraordinarily smooth typing feel, the Durgod K320 is an affordable tenkeyless keyboard that exceeds expectations.

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. 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 Though it does not have the features of hot-swappability or Bluetooth, the Durgod K320 does the basics with utmost quality. 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.

Case and Overall Build Quality

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. Underneath the Durgod keyboard you’ll notice an integrated three-way cable gutter. These are excellent tools for cable management. The channels hold the cable in place without putting stress on the connector and allows the cable to exit the keyboard in three directions (left/right side or the middle) depending on the needs of your setup. Two USB Cables: This keyboard comes with two cables, a USB-C to USB-A, and a USB-C to USB-C. While I only have use for former, it is nice that they include the Mac-friendly cable.

The stabilizers contribute to the awesome sound created when keys are hit, which makes using this keyboard super enjoyable. The Features 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.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. 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.
