Durgod HK Venus RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard | 60% Layout | USB C Wired | Doubleshot PBT Keycaps | Cherry Profile | NKRO Rollover | Windows & Mac | Aluminium Chassis| Gateron Black, Black

It was a great keyboard when it was still alive. Unfortunately, it did not last long. I usually plug it into an Xbox One S and it worked great. The Cherry Mx Red switches were smooth and the RGB was really nice and bright. WHEN I PLUGGED IT IN ON A PC IT LITERALLY DID NOT REGISTER ANYTHING I TYPED. After that incident I found out that it would not register anything on my xbox. I plugged it into a phone and it would not register there. So plugging it in to a PC literally killed it. I did the exact same test with a different keyboard and nothing happened. So I give this 2 stars because it was great while it lasted.

You really cant go wrong here. I would say this is the best 60% production board on the market for around $100-$130 (depending on your switch choice). Seriously fantastic build quality, lubed stabilizers, plenty of switch options, and an excellent compiler software for re-mapping keys and playing with RGB. The tap function will make your forget about needing dedicated arrow keys forever. The Venus oozes quality with double-shot PBT shinethru keycaps and a cast aluminum chassis. My only gripe with this board is the spacebar seems to have a minor defect. The stabilizers on one side are a slightly uneven height that creates some pre-travel and wobble on the key, but this is a tiny grievance in consideration of all the good things about this product. Would definitely recommend.

The board is excellent, but I really want to highlight the software. Multiple profiles/layers can be configured and then flashed to the onboard memory so you dont need to always have third party software running, which is the most frustrating thing about many modern peripherals (looking at you Razer). The onboard memory is great for use with multiple PCs or at work. You can also assign individual RGB settings which helps if you are remapping a layer for macros and want to color code them.

I’ve owned a ton of mechanical keyboards, be it tenkeyless or 60%. I recently sold my ducky one two mini (silver switch variant) to purchase something a bit more high end (all I was really looking for was a nice case such as metal or aluminium). Then I stumbled on this keyboard, it has a great variety of switches and it has a nice white body. Pro : Heavy and made of great materials - the body is made out of metal and is pretty heft and it can really take a beating. The key caps were also very amazing, they are double shot PBT keycaps which are one of the higher quality plastics that you can get when buying a keyboard. The RGB shine through on the white body with its white key caps are amazing. Not as bright as the ducky one two mini but hardly a difference. You won’t be disappointed with how bright these can get. Great Switches - unlike my ducky one two mini, this comes with a vast amount of switches. The ducky only carried cherry Mx switches (which by all means aren’t bad), however, the durgod has not only cherry switches but also gaterons and kaihl box switches. I chose the gateron yellows. Removable cable - this one is small but matters a lot to the consumer. Being able to switch out my cable if it ever breaks is much better than having to purchase yet another cable. Kudos to the company for that one. Cons : Software - the keyboard does come with some software, the software is a little rough and not very beginner friendly but once you get used to it, you’ll love it. Nice rgb customization is featured on the keyboard. Connector Port - the keyboard takes a nice type c cable which is fantastic but I always find myself fidgeting with it, to get it to really go in but that’s just a small little nitpick, it won’t ruin your experience. I’ve been using this keyboard for streaming, gaming, and doing homework and I can say that it’s one of the best keyboard I’ve bought. You won’t be disappointed.

I think this is one of the best keyboards available right now in this form factor, you wont regret picking this up!

This is a great top quality production mech. I love the sound of the Gat Yellows along with the factory lubed stabs, this makes a great sounding and feeling mech.

First review. Great keyboard. Always love Durgods product. I have Gateron browns and the stabilizers are amazing feel of the build and the pbt keycaps. I also recommend the hades68

Everytime I press keys on the keyboard I hear a loud clack and a spring noise. I dont know what part of the keyboard is doing that.

I really like this keyboard although, I do miss my f1 keys. I have a few problems with this keyboard but Im not sure if its really that avoidable. First is over time the keycaps tend to build up with dead skin on top and on the sides of the keycaps. Second, Im not sure if its the keyboards issue or mine but ever since I switched keyboards, this one once in a while keeps disconnecting itself and all inputs wouldnt work until I unplug and plug the usbc right inside.

I own allot of keyboards from the Ducky Mecha, Drop Alt High Profile, Logitech G915 Lightspeed Wireless which is are all awesome keyboard. But I find the DROP ALT HIGH PROFILE to be a HUGE money pit and got rid of it and this keyboard replaced it. The problem with the Drop Alt was they basically lure in with a $200 price range but then increase it to $270 then you add up all of the KEYCAPS, and other upgrades I was over $400 into a starters kit. And the problem with the DUCKY MECHA is hard to find keycaps. I am using the G915 as my daily driver and it is flawless. But for my second setup I wanted a keyboard to have a nice outer solid feel, with great parts and no need to do modding to make it better. Well this is the KEYBOARD for you because I purchased the Cherry MX SILENT RED and I love them smooth as butter and super quiet. I do not feel any rattling keys like on the DROP ALT. This is a VERY WELL MADE keyboard. And you can find replaceable keycaps on this model as well with no problems and ordered a HyperX Double Shot PBT Keycaps should go nicely with my new PC build.
