DURGODHeavy Duty Mechanical Keyboard with Cherry MX Brown Switches N-Key Rollover 104 Keys(PBT Keycaps) Type C Interface for Gamer/Typists/Office/Home (White，ANSI/US)

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.

After using this keyboard for several weeks I decided that I could not live with the keycaps. The dark grey keys were just too dark and the keys with a double function were marked side by side instead of up and down like old school, so I decided to replace them. I replaced them with an all white set from MISTEL at a cost of $55. When changing over the keycaps I decided to keep the Durgod primary letter keys but replaced all others. The MISTEL keys were a perfect match with the Durgod keycaps that I retained. I now have a keyboard with all-white keys that have a layout exactly like the old IBM keyboards. This will be my keyboard for a very long time - love it.I purchased the model with unlighted White keys and Cherry Blue switches.A great keyboard true to the tradition of previous great keyboards like the IBM, Model M, only better. The build quality is beyond reproach. The sound of the keys, positively affected by the baffling and weight of the entire keyboard can only be described as pure perfection - especially the sound of the Space Bar. Can anything on the keyboard be improved? Yes, just one thing. The gray keys are a little too dark. A lighter shade of gray would allow better contrast with the black markings. Other than that, perfect.I want to praise Durgod for bringing to market a great keyboard available without under-cap lighting. Nearly all of todays' keyboards have under-cap lighting which I find, despite their popularity, distracting and of zero benefit to either gaming or business.

This is my first mechanical keyboard, and I put in a lot of research before buying. I had been using a 10-year-old Lenovo board that felt as close I could get to mechanical out of the keyboards I had (and I love Lenovo quality). I went with the MX Blues because I enjoy the tactile feel and auditory pleasure that comes from switches. It does sound like a typewriter if you type lightly.I am a writer and editor, so I put in quite a few hours on the keyboard, and there are a few things that I will have to get used to. The keyboard is quite compact, and I have very long fingers, which makes me feel slightly cramped while typing, but I will get used to it quickly. I love high-quality/industrial items to which the product is close. I think it will last me a long time if I don't get sucked into the mechanical keyboard hobby and end up buying ten more, lol.Pros:Solid build quality (heavy)Decent packaging and dust coverDoes not move on the desk (I can shake my whole desk by pushing on the keyboard before it slips)It came with nice and decently heavy-gauge cords (USB-A and USB-C)I know this sounds silly, but the included mousepad coaster is also of high quality and fully stitched.It came with a key puller and dust cover.The Okay:The compactness will take some time to get used to; it is good for desk space and portability but is a bit cramped for writing.The key feel (much better than ABS)No backlightingNo individual media keysSoftware

Fantastic, I replaced a G710+ Logitech with brown switches with this.First, it's heavy. Heaviest keyboard I've ever lifted including old school IBMs. Typing is perfect, brown switches are my preferred style. Good tactile non slick feel on the keys. Insane level of quality, perfect USB cord fit to ensure you can never jostle it and damage the port.
