The Durgod Taurus K320 is a decent mechanical keyboard. This TenKeyLess (80%) keyboard has a great build that's made of solid plastic that doesn't show any noticeable flex. Typing feels great and there are two incline settings that should help reduce fatigue or pain. Also, the keycaps are made of PBT plastic and feel nice to touch. There are macro-programmable keys, and you can reprogram every button in the companion software. Our unit has Cherry MX Brown switches, but it's available in a wide variety of switches and colors. Our unit doesn't have any backlighting, but it's an option that's available depending on the variant you choose.
Our Verdict
The Durgod Taurus K320 is a decent keyboard for mixed use. The ergonomics are only okay, as it doesn't have a wrist rest, but the two incline settings should still allow for a comfortable typing experience. Gamers should appreciate the brown switches, as they have a low pre-travel distance and don't require much force to actuate. Those who work in an office or have roommates will like that the brown switches are quiet enough to not disturb those around you. Also, all keys are macro-programmable and you can reprogram every button.

Test Results
The Durgod K320 is a wired, TenKeyLess keyboard that shouldn't take up too much space on your desk. Our unit is space gray, but it's available in other colors as well.
The Durgod Taurus K320 TKL's build quality is great. It's made of solid plastic that doesn't feel cheap, and it doesn't exhibit any noticeable flex or rattle. The keycaps are made of PBT plastic that feels nice to the touch. The incline feet feel grippy, which should help prevent the keyboard from sliding around. However, the keys and incline feet have some wobble, and there's an excessive amount of grease under the keys, most notably under the spacebar.
The ergonomics are okay. It has two incline settings and doesn't cause any pain or fatigue while typing. That said, there's no wrist rest included.
The Durgod K320 we tested has no backlighting, but there are variants available with RGB or white LED backlighting. If you want a similar keyboard with backlighting, check out the Razer BlackWidow Lite.
The cable is fairly long and retains a lot of kinks. That said, it's also detachable, and you can easily replace it if it gets damaged or it's not to your liking.
The Durgod Taurus K320 TKL is wired-only and can't be used wirelessly.
The Durgod K320 has a few extra features. It has media control hotkeys and a Windows key lock to prevent accidentally minimizing your game. Every key is macro-programmable, but you can only program them through the companion software.

The Durgod Taurus K320 TKL we tested has Cherry MX Brown switches, which offer tactile feedback and don't require a lot of force to actuate. If you don't like the feeling of Brown switches, it's also available with Cherry Black, Blue, Clear, Red, Silent Black, Silent Red, Speed Silver, or White switches.
The Durgod Taurus K320 TKL has great typing quality. The Cherry MX Brown switches offer good tactile feedback, and the PBT plastic keycaps feel great to touch, despite a bit of wobble. The keys are more compactly-spaced than other keyboards of this size, but this wasn't noticeable, and it didn't result in an uptick in typos. Typing feels very light and shouldn't cause any pain or fatigue. If you want a full-sized option that offers even better typing quality, then check out the Leopold FC900R.
The Cherry MX Brown switches on our are quiet. However, the Durgod K320 is available in a wide variety of switch variants, such as clicky Cherry MX Blue, which will be loud and disruptive to those around you.
Update 11/09/2020: We erroneously indicated that there's no onboard memory. It does have it, and it can save one custom profile. The mistake has been corrected.
The Durgod Taurus K320 TKL mechanical gaming keyboard is compatible with the Durgod Zeus Engine companion software. From here, you can reprogram all the keys and set macros. Unfortunately, while it's advertised as having onboard memory, it doesn't work. Also, custom macros only seem to work as long as the software remains open on your computer. You can have an unlimited number of unique profiles saved within the software. If you want a keyboard with onboard memory, check out the Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition.
The Durgod K320 has decent compatibility. It's fully compatible with Windows, and everything works as intended on macOS except for 'Scroll Lock' and 'Pause Break'. Also, Durgod Zeus Engine isn't available on macOS or Linux.
