INTRODUCTION

   Build quality versus features has always been one of the few things i've seen in most areas of the electronics industry and even more so when it comes to keyboards. Take the professional mechanical models for example, build quality may be impressive (for example i still have the Das Keyboard Professional Model S in the lab and it's almost as good as new) but they lack features like dedicated media and macro keys, RGB lighting, detachable wrist rests etc, etc. Still even though these models are as expected not very appealing to gamers they are a one way for professionals who spend countless hours over them. The Taurus K320 Mechanical Keyboard by DURGOD aims to win over that specific segment of the market with its exceptional build quality and it's been on my desk for the past 2 weeks.

   DURGOD is a peripheral equipment brand established in Zhuhai, China, devoting to improve the image of "made in China" in the mind of the player. DURGOD has an independent research and development team, with the ability of ID design and program design and development. The core idea is to create the technology that conforms to the future, insist on the belief of excellence and the harsh craftsman spirit, and create a unique product made in China.

   The Taurus K320 by DURGOD is a tenkeyless (TKL - 80%) keyboard which is currently available with Cherry MX mechanical switches (black/blue/red/brown/silver - 50 million keystrokes) and in 3 different versions/variants, the non-backlighted one (which is here with me today), the Corona one (white backlight) and the Nebula one (RGB lighting). The non-lighting version of the K320 is available in two colors (space grey/natural white) and features a 32-bit ARM processor, steel plate, FR4 double layer PCB, detachable USB-C cable, N-Key rollover with 100% anti-ghosting, 1000Hz polling rate, dual height adjusters, programmable keys and PBT doubleshot keycaps. The Taurus K320 may not be the most feature-rich mechanical keyboard out there but it does sound interesting right?
