The increase of keyboard switch leads the price of mechanical keyboard to be lower and lower. But good mechanical keyboard is not cheap, even more and more expensive. Some prices of keyboards are as high as 200 dollar and even more. But there are a few affordable mechanical keyboards with a reliable quality and using experience. Durgod Taurus K310 Nebular introduced by well-known peripheral brand Durgod is widely praise. It not only becomes a classic mechanical keyboard, but also one of the necessity for game players.
The Basic Structure of Durgod Taurus K310 Nebular
Durgod Taurus K310 Nebular has 104 keys. When choosing switches, I was hesitated between Cherry Mx red switch and silver switch. Red switch is quiet and suitable for using at night, while silver switch is flexible for typing, bringing a fantastic experience to users. Therefore, I chose the silver switch.
The packing box of Durgod K310 is in silver and blue and big part of it is black on the right side with its blue Logo. On its left bottom is product model.

Its following accessories are pretty rich and it has the most accessories I have ever seen. In order to make users more convenient, it also provides instruction guide for them.
In terms of wire, Durgod Taurus K310 provides a USB C-A and a double-head USB Type-C connection wire. The former is used to connect PC and the latter a laptop. Two wires provide two connecting methods. Durgod is so considerable.
The head of wire adopts anti-pull fixed bayonet design, so don’t worry about the connection failure caused by the mistake of touching the keyboard. But its disadvantage is the high cost.
In addition, I am fond of Durgod customized cup pad, which uses the same material as mouse pad. It is printed with logo on its right side, hot resistant and moisture protection. The pad is round and suitable for common cups. Its back side was plastic material, antiskid and abrasion resistant. It is not for sale. Besides, there are wireless receiver, tags for logo and tie-wrap, which are important in daily use.
The Durgod Taurus K310 is a standard 104 mechanical keyboard with a compact design. It is 132.5mm wide and 0.9kg weigh and can be held in one hand. But it has a built-in stabilizer switch plate, which is a little heavy. The surface is painted with metal abrasive feeling in gray like metal keyboard.

It supports three connection methods: USB/ Bluetooth /2.4G, and has more indicators than the common keyboard. From right to left, it refers power indicator, configuration indicator/2.4G mode, Scrou Lock indicator/Bluetooth 2, capital indicator/Bluetooth 1, and connection status indicator. To use Bluetooth and 2.4G, you need to use FN+QWER to switch, FN+Q to Bluetooth 1, FN+W to Bluetooth 2, FN+E to 2.4G, FN+R to wired mode.

There are four silicone anti-slip pads are distributed in the four corners at the bottom. Switch key is on the left. In order to avoid touch it carelessly, the key is very small and needs you to toggle. However, don’t worry. It enjoys the same quality as the mechanical keyboard and it still is sensitive even if you frequently use it.

The USB interface is designed in the middle of the keyboard, and the anti-pull card slot is fixed. It is commendable that in order to meet the requirements of more environments, Durgod Taurus K310 changes the cable slot from one to three left, middle and right.
If the computer case is on the left, you can fix the wire in the left slot, and vice versa. The middle connection has the shortest distance and is the most commonly used. This design is wonderful which does not take up space but looks beautiful.
The two-stage foot brace provides different heights for more comfortable typing. There are actually three different heights to use including the heights of the keyboard itself.

In order to facilitate the replacement of key caps, big keys including the space bar, Enter key are designed with satellite switch. After repeated adjustment, the hand feeling is consistent with the main key.
Using experience of Durgod Taurus K310 Nebular
The Durgod Taurus K310 Silver switch lacks the sense of paragraph and the representative sound of mechanical keyboard, but this also depends on where you are using it. If it is used in a noisy environment or a place only with you, you can choose the louder blue switch, brown switch and other switches; If you’re using it in a quiet office environment or at home, especially if you like to work at night, you need a keyboard with minimal sound. The tiny sound of the Durgod Taurus K310 silver switch meets my needs. PBT two-color closed keycap adopts concave design to cater to our finger with comfortable hand feeling.
Since the silver switch is shorter 0.7mm than that of the red switch, the typing speed is faster. Quick users can even experience a cool feeling. The article about a thousand words can be completed in more than ten minutes. The Durgod Taurus K310 unexpectedly gives me this kind of experience.
In conclusion, a good keyboard can double your working efficiency and won’t make you tired even if typing for a long time. It is such a good keyboard. There is no dazzling light, but it provides three connection modes: USB, Bluetooth and 2.4G wireless. It can be applied to a wider range of applications and easily meet various challenges. Desktop computer can use USB connection to play games; Laptop can use 2.4G wireless to work anytime and anywhere; The smartphone can use Bluetooth connection to greatly improve typing speed. Of course, these three modes can be combined in any way you like.
I have used many kinds of mechanical keyboard. Because of the working environment, I prefer Cherry red switch. And this is the first time to use silver switch, bringing me a great surprise. It has a very comfortable hand feeling, super fast speed. After using it this time, maybe I will use it for a long time. Durgod K310 is a mid-price mechanical keyboard, but it can have a high- level using experience. I think it is so-called higher-cost-performance product in users’ eyes.
