My first experience of the Durgod brand in the Durgod x HK Venus paved a strong enough impression to where I admit it may have affected my thoughts of the Taurus K320 as well. Perhaps I would have taken away only positives had I seen the Taurus K320 first, but there are things common to both which the Venus does better, and others the Taurus K320 does more of, and between the two, the Durgod brand is somehow stuck supporting two different keyboards that are both available in a plethora of options. To a point, this is good for the end user, especially as prices rise steeply once you go past the base switch and layout. Take this very keyboard, which is a decent buy for $99 with the Cherry MX Brown switches and three different color options to choose from. Going to something like the Cherry MX Speed (Silver) or Silent Red is a $20 increase. Adding white backlighting adds $30 to the price if you have the MX Brown (or Black/Blue/Red), but only $20 to the Cherry MX Speed or Silent Red. There is a similar $10 difference for RGB backlighting with the different switches, so why do these switches cost $20 more without any lighting? Similarly, not all switches are available in all the colors and lighting variations, so you may still have to compromise despite all these available options.

The general feature set of the Durgod Taurus K320 and full-size K310 will still interest many, especially those from the various enthusiast mechanical keyboard communities online: detachable cables with Type-C connectivity, PBT doubleshot keycap sets with different dual color tones, some rarely available Cherry MX switch options, and onboard controls coupled with software customization. The latter feature is somewhat contentious, however, because this is the second beta driver from Durgod that is even longer in the tooth relative to the keyboard's retail release, and it also needs user experience improvements. As a first keyboard, I can see other options doing a better job for the money, but it will make for a decent addition to a keyboard collection for those who fancy having one, and you know exactly who you are.
