The Durgod Taurus K320 is a decent gaming keyboard available in a TenKeyLess (TKL) size. It's really well-made with a solid plastic frame and doubleshot PBT keycaps. Every key is macro-programmable through the Durgod Zeus Engine; our unit doesn't have RGB lighting, but there's a variant with it. It's available in a variety of Cherry MX switches, so you can easily get the ones you prefer, and the Cherry MX Brown switches on our unit help provide a great typing experience. Sadly, it doesn't come with a wrist rest, but you still shouldn't feel too much fatigue even when using it for long periods.
Our Verdict
The Durgod Taurus K320 is a decent gaming keyboard. The Cherry MX Brown switches on our unit have a short pre-travel distance and don't require a lot of force to actuate. Every key is macro-programmable, and while our unit doesn't have RGB backlighting, there are variants with it. Sadly, its latency is a bit higher than most gaming keyboards; it should be fine for casual gaming, but not so much for competitive gamers.

- Wide variety of switch variants.
- Great build quality.

The GLORIOUS GMMK and the Durgod Taurus K320 are fairly similar overall. The main difference is that the GLORIOUS is a hot-swappable board that lets you change the switches without soldering. That said, the Durgod has multiple Cherry MX switch options. The Durgod has better latency for gaming, though not by much. Although we tested a full-sized variant of the GLORIOUS, you can get it in a 60% or TKL size.
