DURGOD Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Cherry MX Red Switches Type C Interface Tenkeyless 104 Keys (with Dust Cover) for Gamer/Typist (Space Grey,ANSI/US)

This is my first mechanical keyboard, so I was nervous and skeptical to spend $120 on one. Honestly, I get it now. I ordered the red switches. They feel great and are pretty quiet. I am someone who games, but also spends a ton of time typing for work. I don’t think I’ll ever purchase a cheap keyboard again. I might purchase the keyboard with blue switches as well and decide which to keep at my office. This thing is sturdy. Keys feel great. Looks beautiful and appreciate that it’s not flashy, like many gamers prefer. It’s honestly a joy to type on and will never cheap out again on something I spend so much time with.

This is my first keyboard with cherry red switches. My favorite switch before this were cherry browns. But after using this for about a month now, I can definitely say that reds are the way to go! Sure, they don't have that somewhat tactile feel when activating the switch. But what you get instead is a buttery smooth travel that makes it feel like you're typing on air. The overall quality of this keyboard is superb! Keycaps feel super premium, and the chassis does not flex. The only downside is the customization software - the Zeus Engine. Its super complicated to understand and takes a while to mess with in order for it to work. So I just don't use it. Still a fantastic keyboard though.

TlDR: Feels solid, but key caps are trash I'll update this a year after purchase to show how many original keycaps are left if I remember. Look I heard of this keyboard though linus. As a result I assume that the switches are probably legit, or at the very least feel like the real deal. I wish I didn't have doubts, but read on. So I lost 8 keycaps in shipping. Sent in a customer support email tot he company and heard nothing back. Normally I'd have returned it, but amazon accidentally delivered it to the wrong address (with pictures!) and I didn't feel like putting even more effort into getting this item intact. Alright, so I buy a keycap set, functionally raising the price of this keyboard by 20 dollars or so. Be aware, you should probably plan on doing this if you want this otherwise solid keyboard. There's no real padding in the box, and the included caps are pretty loosely attached, so I can't imagine not getting breakage. As a result I've avoided fully switching out my caps to instead catalog my gradual loss of keys. Most of them broke off after shipping, having small cracks on the connector, but I've been fairly steadily losing a key or two a month since. I'm writing this review right now as I had to play videogames with friends tonight with the right arrow key subbing for my 's', the most recent casualty. Kind of pathetic that you'd put so much effort into making the base feel quality, yet couldn't spring a couple extra bucks for quality caps and like a simple piece of foam in the box for shipping (or heck, ship the keys in a bag unattached). Really lets down an otherwise quality product. I'm honestly a little worried the base is just full of lead weights like beats(tm) to try and trick you into thinking that there's actually anything solid there.

The plastic inserts in packaging did nothing to protect my keys. They were sprawled out on the inside of the box. The N key was broken straight out of the box. The keys themselves are made out of cheap 3d printable material. The actual cap that holds it into the switch breaks very easily. Less than 2 months and already lost my F and my L just from basic wear and tear. If you get this keyboard you're better off swapping the keys than sticking with the cheap ones. This is a shame, because the silence and quality of the press on this board is very nice. Their packaging for transit and key quality needs work.

i like it, it goes clicky and looks nice, has many keys, no issues with it so far, plugs right in and works, im using PopOs and it plugs in and works, thats a plus for me.. im not sure what some of the lights and stuff do or if u can use the extra features or whatever on linux but it types real nice so i dont really care about that. ++++ works on linux

All the keys in the box were off the keyboard. I put them all back on and they didn't stay on. They are just kinda sitting on there unlike the rest that are snapped on. After some time the "h" key was popping off daily. I tried to super glue it but it the little plus then broke in half. Keys are cheap.

the build quality seem very good and the Cherry MX reds are perfect. I added some rubber o rings onto the stems of the letter keys to dampen the sound even further. the action is very smooth, but still responsive the PBT keycaps are also a great add, and something you might find yourself paying $30-60 for afterwards when you realize how much better PBT plasitc feels than standard abs (at least in my opinion)

In short, for the price of this thing it should come with better keycaps. As other reviewers mention the stems break. I've now repaired about 10 stems that cracked. 2 were clearly broken upon arrival and the rest have broken with normal use. While the stems are the obvious weakness, it should be also noted that the keycaps are doubleshot but very cheaply. The only part that has a 2nd layer is the very top of the keycap that has the lettering, so that none of the sidewall has 2 layers. This makes them much lighter, plasticky, and higher pitched than standard doubleshot keycaps. They keyboard itself is fine, but these keycaps are hot garbage and an absolute disgrace at this pricepoint.

Got the Cherry Red switch keyboard primarily for coding. This is a solid keyboard. Typing is a joy using this keyboard. I get excellent typing speed. Keycap feels very nice on hand. USB cable is nicely designed. Typing sound and feel are both very satisfying. Linear switch makes the typing sound office friendly. Good stabilizer on wider keys. Keyboard cover is nice to have to avoid dust settling in. It also two step height adjustment with good grip. Highly recommended, at least for typing (coding in my case).

Top quality product. The tool used to remove keys is a little flimsy though, otherwise very happy with purchase.

This keyboard is awful. Right out of the box, keycaps were falling off the switches constantly, such as the arrow keys. I should have returned it right then and there, but I didn't because I liked the design. That was a BIG mistake. Now, after only light use, some of the keycaps have actually BROKEN OFF the switches! I've never seen such poor quality from such an expensive product. AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID!

Do not buy. Ignore those good review. Always buy keyboard from brands like filco, Varmilo, Leopold

The plastic that the keys are made up of are not good. I have one key after another one break. I've sent an email explaining and showing this with images to the seller / manufacturer, but never got an answer. I'm afraid I'm going to go ahead and recommend people stay away from this brand. I've had four (4) Durgod keyboards now. They all have this problem! Keyboard itself is the best I've ever had, but the keys keep breaking. They fall out, after the part that attaches to the Cherry key at the back of the key, cracks and splits in half. I tried gluing it but it doesn't last. I tried 3D printing replacement keys but they look silly and feel wrong. I'm very disappointed how the Durgod guys ignore my emails.
