Title: Dose any one heard of Durgod? I want to purcahse a keyboard around $100
Post by: sokhibon on Sun, 04 March 2018, 22:08:33
I am new to the mechanical keyboard. I got a SteelSeries keyboard with Red switch from my friend.

I want to buy one TKL using at work.

I found this (https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/durgod-87-104-k320-k310-aurora-mechanical-lighting-keyboard-cherry-mx-pbt-doubleshot-keycaps-brown-blue/3034003_32854365801.html?spm=2114.12010608.0.0.66213612hoDaxz).

It looks good. Does any one have some experience on this board? Should I purchase it?

Thank you.

Thank you.

for $100, you can get a ducky ONE or ducky ONE 2, which is probably better.

Thank you for visiting our store. Happy you are interested in Durgod Aurora.

I think it depends on if you like lighting or not.
You can watch this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf7aG4cZGbA&t=3s) which I found on Youtube as the reference.

Thank you.

Just new to mechanical keyboards, looking for some enlightenment ^^

Ducky is typically regarded as one of the best manufacturers/sellers of fully-built keyboards.

Ducky is the best plastic/low cost manufacturer if you want backlighting
Leopold is the best in the range if you pay 20 bucks more, anything better than leopold are your aluminum case prebuilts or $$$ customs afaik

Completely agree - I typically recommend Leopold, but I feel like Ducky is the best bet if RGB is part of the requirements. Filco's def up there too but I haven't had personal experience with any Filco boards.

Filco and Leopold Can be Iffy in quality..

Ducky ONEs are also iffy..

The Ducky taiwan plants are a bit more reliable..


Typically, you can take one look at the pcb and tell.. 

If it's clean and shiny,  ur good to go.

Filco is the best if you like stabilizers that do not suck a**..

i.e. Costar stabilizers > cherry stabilizers

Filco was good and became popular as a brand of top quality keyboards, but now there are better brands and models (Leopold, for instance). They should upgrade many aspects of their keyboards if they want to compete and keep on being premium. It's unacceptable that they intend to be considered premium selling their boards with stock thin abs keycaps with top printed legends that fade in a month.

I completely agree.  There's a reason that Filco keyboards sell in the $60 range on eBay.  They're nicely built, but the keycaps are crap, so you have to budget in a set of replacements.  I put a set of $20 Tai Hao doubleshot ABS keycaps on a Filco I used to have, and that alone made it a much nicer keyboard.

you know how Chevy guys feel about ford ... 

I have that same feel about cherry stabilizers ... they suck and any keyboard cursed with them sucks..   /end

I'd rather buy extra $100 key caps for a filco than use a $100 ducky one w/ cherry stabilizers

I would agree that Filco could / should do better with their stock key caps however..

Hey guys,

thank you all.

Sorry didnt reply in time. quite busy those days.

I searched Ducky and Filco. And I found poker as well.  How about poker? Is it compatible with macOS?

Thank you.

I have installed the Durgod Zeus Engine program on my Windows Laptop, but I still cannot get my head around assigning Macro to a key. Can anyone guide me through the process?

I want to accomplish this--- When I click on let's say Fn+B then Google Chrome should open and open 4 specific tabs (Let's say www.wsj.com, www.google.com, www.microsoft.com and www.zerodha.com). How can this be done?
