EDIT:
Dropping my review of the keyboard from 5 stars to 4 because the software for it is garbage. I downloaded and installed the "Zeus Engine" which is their proprietary customization software and immediately it was clear that this wasn't where the budget for the keyboard went. When I initially booted it up, it said that the keyboard had a firmware/software update available, which I then proceeded to install. It requested that I make sure the keyboard stay plugged in while the update ran, which I did. Once completed the keyboard stopped functioning entirely and I had to go and grab my old keyboard to use the computer. After messing with it for awhile, I found that basically, the Zeus software itself was what was preventing the keyboard from working. While all this was going on I noticed that the software would prompt for UAC Administrator permissions for every single button I clicked within the software, which struck me as odd, like it was launching a different program for each menu button or something. Additionally, the English translation in the software is poor at best, but it's hard to fault them for this as this is a very common issue with Chinese made software and tech people aren't necessarily skilled in multiple languages. I uninstalled it and the keyboard works just like before. I still highly recommend the keyboard, as the quality really is excellent, but I would avoid the software like the plague.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

The keyboard feels great to type on and has a subtle and professional look to it. I was initially concerned about the fact that it's a Chinese brand (especially since it was between this and the DasKeyboard Model S) but I'm entirely pleased with the feel, sound, look, and quality of the board. I haven't used it for gaming at all, but it feels great to type on at the office and isn't too loud for the work environment. (I have the MX brown variant)

Definitely a great keyboard, especially if you like the feel of mechanical, but want something that doesn't look or feel "Gamer-y"

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 keyboard is sturdy and has a nice feel when typing. I use this at work so the Cherry Brown doesn't disturb my co-workers but gives me the right amount of tactile feel and clicky sound. With all that good, the key caps keep breaking. The connectors crack in half. I've had the keyboard since April and I've already had two keys break. I was able to get my first broken key replaced but it took almost two months to get a replacement. A big ding on an otherwise enjoyable keyboard!

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.

I've seen some complaints mentioning that they keys make noise when being depressed (the noise of plastic sliding against more plastic) and I don't think it's an issue at all, as I've never paid attention to such a minor detail. The cherry MX blue switches and the sound of them bottoming out far exceed the noise made by the keycaps having slight contact with their mount.

Those who like having silent switches and obsess hearing such noises should probably consider another option, though I wonder if such a silent keyboard actually exists.

Other than that issue, the keyboard is great to type on. No binding of keys regardless of what angle I actuate the keys from. The spacebar has a decent stabilizer which works as intended, the other keys can wiggle just a little bit (by a few millimeters), there's a little freeplay but not enough to actually affect my typing.

I was concerned at first about how i'd distinguish the media keys but it turns out that all keys that aren't affected by the Fn key will have their lighting turned off when Fn is pressed. there's also the printing on the side of the keycap facing you. (These do not light up)

I've not used the macro key function, but i've heard the software is a bit dated.

The keyboard is quite heavy, and is very firm... I strain to even slightly twist it. It has cable routing valleys on the bottom of the keyboard to tidy up the wire.

As a bonus they include a keycap pulling tool which makes cleaning a breeze.

I'd recommend buying this keyboard if you're looking for a relatively budget priced full mechanical keyboard.
