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

Just the best quality of a stock board you can get. Ive had many different keyboards (ducky,razer,corsair,logitech).. and I like durgod better then all of them. I highly recommend this board.

This keyboard has so much potential. Having the option to choose your switches from that big of a variety and not to mention it being this price for a 60% these days. The problem is it disconnects all the time, easy fix though you just pull the cord out and put it back in. Wouldnt be that annoying to deal with if I didnt use it for gaming where I lose a gun fight every 6 minutes because I cant move my character. Save your money, if this keyboard style is something you NEED, then get the Ducky One 2 Mini. That is if you can get your hands on one.

So I have been using this keyboard for a while now and honestly the keyboard overall has been great! No problems in the first half year of use, and overall build quality is amazing. Listing some pros below: -great switch options (personally went for gateron silent browns) -heavy base which is great for gaming so it doesnt move around -small 60% style (also a con for some) -overall great feel I only have one con over constant use over the year is that the base of the keyboard actually warped, maybe from how tight the screws were tightened, which isnt too big of a problem but noticeable at times. Overall good rating though.

Let me preface this with a few things. I originally bought an Anne Pro 2 which comes to find out later doesnt work well with a PS4. It just turned itself off about once or twice, every single game. So, returned that to buy this after a bit more research. This keyboard is absolutely perfect. Got mine with Cherry browns and use it to play Warzone on PS4. Highly recommend.

I had some concerns due to so many reviews that Ive seen regarding issues with freezing and all sorts of other problems. But so many of those things just went out the window as soon as I started using the keyboard and felt it in hand and typing. The quality is so much better than what I had expected. The build of the frame, the sound signature, the feel of the keycaps. All so much better than what I have experienced before. I have been long time user of other main stream brands like Razer and Corsair, and no knocks on those boards, they served me well but the experience with this has been a step above. One of the main standouts is the stabilizers. Man I was so used to rattling stabilizers that I thought it was normal. What a breath of fresh air man. My gaming experience is so much more improved since it takes up so much less space on my desk, so I can move my mouse around without hitting the keyboard every now and then as I used to. But of course this isnt ideal for my day to day use which is programming. I have actually made the effort to get used to using the board though just because of how nice it is. I do plan on purchasing a TKL from Durgod (the K320 Corona) based on my experience with the Venus, to use as my daily driver for work purposes and then use the Venus just for gaming. That does seem excessive when i think about it and almost a waste of the Venus but alas, some things are just easier with dedicated keys. I will HIGHLY recommend this little board and NO I havent experienced any of the freezing issues that other users have noted in their reviews and I hope I dont in the coming months ahead. Oh and the silent switches are awesome.

The build quality is superb, have had no issues so far, and the box white switches are amazing.

First, I love this Keyboard the build quality is amazing and I purchased with the MX Red Silent Switches or MX Red V2 interchangeable names from what I have read. The sound this keyboard gives off is amazing super quiet and just stealthy (switches will vary in sound but ALL will have reduced noise due to the dampening material under the PCB). The RGB is very bright, brighter than any Razer or Logitech that I have seen. I dont know much about how the keycaps feel as I replaced mine right away with Hyper X Pudding caps. The stabilizers are very nice and have almost no roughness to them due to being factory lubed. This software, though sorta difficult to find (Hera Keyboard Compiler) is a little weird to get used to but you can figure it out fairly quickly and does a nice job at being able to customize your keyboard layout quickly. The only issue Ive had is that my keyboard will disconnect randomly and then reconnect right away. About 90% of the time this happens so quick its non issue minus the sound windows gives for disconnecting and reconnecting a USB device. I have swapped out the original cable it came with and though that seemed to help a little bit it still does happen. Also the other 10% of the time the keyboard will lock up and I will have to remove the cable and reconnect it to get it to work again. Side note swapping the USB C cable with a new one turned out to be a real pain due to the recessed port. In the pictures it appears to be fairly large but in practice I had 1 cable that fit it. The others were to large to fit in the port. I have messaged the company regarding this and they have not gotten back to me. Due to the annoyance of this issue (actually it just happened while writing this review) I have decided to keep the board as a back up but have purchased a different board to replace this product. I really enjoy this board from sound to build quality but having a board that disconnects randomly is very annoying especially at this price point. I have heard that this is only an issue in humid climates but I live in the US and in WI and it is currently winter so Im not convinced that is the cause of this due to it being very dry out. In short if you dont mind dealing with this issue its a great board.

Incredible product for the price. Great switch selection, lubed stabs out the box, zero case ping. Only issue i have is its hard to find a 3rd party cable that fits the recessed usb-c port. Overall amazing package

No complaints so far *EDIT* DO NOT BUY THIS KEYBOARD its been maybe four months and the W key no longer works. I have taken great care of this keyboard and it just stopped working. Also before the key broke, it would always freeze or act as if im holding a key down and characters in game will walk one direction until I unplug the keyboard and plug it back in. Very very disappointing, especially since Im very big in to playing fps games competitively. DO NOT BUY THIS KEYBOARD.

This keyboard is really solid! I got they yellow switches and they sound and feel good. The only complaint i have is that randomly (but not often) it will stop working and would require and disconnect and reconnect. This can get frustrating at an intense game.
