> 3 dayJust 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.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayI love this keyboard. This is the best thing I have ever had the pleasure of typing on and gaming with. That being said. I started to notice that my board would freeze and no longer allow input or would freeze on a single keystroke and the problem could only be resolved by unplugging and replugging or switching to another profile. This board is roughly around the 110-130 depending on when you catch it or where. There should not be any bricking defects in a board that expensive. The profile switch would be a good fix to the problem if you just loaded the same profile but theres no tutorial or anything showing you how to create and save and load a new one. Not to mention that on the card the instructions direct you to download a software for it that is not even in existence anymore.Speaking on the official discord with what I assume to be a PR person I was told that the problem is indeed the board and that they have fixed it on the second round of shipments. However Amazon only has the first round now and they wont receive the new ones until later in the year due to the current COVID crisis. Luckily I can still return and buy a ducky.

> 3 dayYou will not be disappointed with the build quality of this item. It feels very premium to hold and use with a good amount of weight to it so it wont slide around on your desk as youre typing or playing games. They keys and switches feel phenomenal. I got mine with Cherry MX silent red switches and they just feel and sound fantastic. The RGB lighting is luminous and includes a handful of different patterns to choose from with more customization options available in the software. Durgods solution for not having arrow keys is also an excellent feature of this keyboard. By pressing caps lock while holding fn1, you activate tap mode, which allows the right side shift, fn1, fn2 and right side ctrl keys to be used as arrow keys if they are tapped and released quickly, while still maintaining their normal functions if held down slightly longer. To me, it was very intuitive and works perfectly in every situation except for if you want to hold down an arrow key to quickly scroll through something. Attempting to do so will only activate the keys original function. However, you can simply tap, tap, tap away and scroll through any web page or line of text. If, however, you absolutely must have dedicated arrow keys, there is an option for you. The Durgod Hades is the exact same keyboard but with the addition of arrow keys and one extra row of useful/commonly used keys on the right side.

> 3 dayThis thing is amazing. Great keycaps, great switches, and a great build. Unfortunate that it freezes randomly. Heard the Hades doesnt have that issue so Ill try it out. Hope they can nail that issue down and update whats shipped.
