I bought this keyboard after watching your video, and I am very happy with it! The build quality itself made it worth it, but then I started typing, and it made me fall in love again!! I am by no means the most accurate or fastest typer, but this keyboard just makes me want to type stuff just so that I can use it and listen to it.... I went with gateron blues on mine because I love clicky switches, but it looks exactly like the one you reviewed!! Keep up the great work!!
The disconnection issues have apparently been eliminated. 10months ago when they first came out they had the awful issue with rapid disconnects. But this is their 2nd line of development where they have voided the problem. I’ve had mine now for 2 weeks and have not ran into a disconnect yet.
Just for the record, I have purchased the keyboard from Amazon around a month ago. I have used various aftermarket USB cables and the board randomly dies and the USB cable has to replugged in to fix the issue. It happens rarely but it STILL happens. I paid around 150 euros for the version with the kailh jade switches. The construction is great and typing on this thing is flawless. However, sadly this does not matter when such an issue exists.
@@argirisstamatopoulos5182 Man I'm on the fence with this one, I would use it only for typing so I guess freezing once in a while wouldn't be a big issue, have you hade any more problems with it?
I definitely love your reviews! Tiny things you analyzed a little more in depth prevented a big mistake!
Hope your're doing well! :D
Thanks so much! What big mistake?
@@SwitchandClickOfficial ohhh, when picking a decision on a keyboard. You brought important things to the table that otherwise I wouldn't have thought or noticed D:
So it's really nice!
Thanks!
I just got my first mech! It's the Magic-Refiner Mk21-61 with blue switches and blue key caps! I might eventually get some orange key caps and have a blue and orange custom board! I'm excited to be a part of the community!
I think you should review this keyboard as it is quite cheap considering I got it for 40 British Pounds!
Nice!
Durgod honestly needs more recognition
They really do
Recognition has to be earned and if you are consistently delivering good product, good name is just around the corner.
Nice review Betty. I had an earlier version of this keyboard that had a bad disconnect issue that I ended up having to return. I heard that they had fixed the issue with newer models, but I have already purchased a GK64X with hot swap and it is my favorite 60% board now. I did get a newer Durgod Haydes and that is very nice, except for not being hot swap. I have come to the conclusion that I will only purchase hot swap boards from now on as I am hooked on lubbed switches and clipped and lubed stabs, plus being able to easily try out new switches without the whole solder, desolder thing.
Ikr, once you go lubed and modded stabs, it's hard to go back
i was looking to get a cheap keyboard and found this one on amazon for 17 unopened and its amazing
Digging this channel, cool content, like how you guys just keep it genuine.
Appreciate it!
Awesome review! I wonder if it uses the same pcb as the AP2 given the similarities. As to the tap arrow keys, I had the same problem with shift registering as an arrow on my AP2 so I started using TouchCursor free software that turns the spacebar into a function key and allows you to remap any arrow, navigation or special keys to wherever you want. I set up a 2 nav clusters ( one for each hand) on the home row and it is absolutely awesome.
You can change the delay for the tap layer on the AP2 in ObinsKit software. The default is 250ms, I believe.
Love the Asceny cable.. thanks I've been looking for that for my Shadow Fox
Great cables :)
@@SwitchandClickOfficial YAY!
Picked up this board with mx reds and couldn't be happier with a stock board! Might eventually change the switches but overall i haven't had a board of this quality for the price.
Try the yellow switches i heard theyre really thoccy
Yeah, I’ve been really considering this board for a while but i’ve heard of a really bad disconnection issue.
I got one a few months ago and it's only happened to be once so far.
Hasn't happened to me so far, thank goodness
I heard that was related to their cables and that newer ones resolved it.
@@Tym2GoDie Yeah but even still, when you purchase a product for $130 you shouldn’t expect/want to have any issues within at least a year of use.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Nah, they keep saying that in customer support but i have multiple reliable sources saying that they switch to a completely different cable and the issues to continue to happen, i have the exact same issue with my anne pro 2.
Are you having any freezing problems after 2 months please respond thank you!
Yo, your website is popping off! Congratz!
Thanks! Are you seeing it everywhere?
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Yeah, when i google info on mech keyboards, Switch and Click is usually on the front page now. Great site for info on Keyboards! keep up the good work.
We've been working hard on ranking well 👍
Classy B roll! The editing is great. Would love to see a shootout between Durgod Venus, Ducky One Mini, and Anne Pro.
Thanks dude
I think the Kemove Snowfox/Shadow is a condender also. Hot-swappable, excellent stabs, programmable layers, and bluetooth all for $90-$120 depending on switches.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Very true!
This is my favorite so far
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Have you reviewed the Ducky?
I really like your videos! it's complete and easy to learn. I've never know about this world of keyboards and it's amazing and im new here xD. Greats reviews!
Thanks so much! It's a deep hobby
The name: durgod
Me: you know it's a god keyboard when it has god in the name
Will cable mod cables fit?
The ones with the aluminum ends
I been looking for a wireless 60% keyboard with blue switches. Looked through a lot of your videos. But couldn’t really find one . Or do you have any suggestions, you seem like you really know about keyboards! I love the Kaith box jade clicky switches that u mentioned abt the durgod
Get a hotswap like kemove snowfox, then put kailh box jades in them 👍
@@SwitchandClickOfficial how can I buy switches from ur website?
@@SwitchandClickOfficial oh my, thank you so much. I just found the perfect board!
Love the video, I was curious, do you have any thoughts on the Durgod Hades 68 RGB, I was able to get a great deal on the keyboard but wanted see if anyone has tried doing any modifications to it, like lubing switches and so on.
The board seems rlly nice and affordable. Although, are the freezing issues still there? I have read some recent reviews where the board starts to freeze sometimes after like a month or two of use. Also, its compatible on windows and mac right?
Just ordered one with cherry red browns with a g pro super light let’s sko
this is a very interesting and affordable board!! i might get it for my next one tysm
Glad you like it!
This might be a weird suggestion, but of you haven't already, could you cover keyboards with 89 keys? Those ones with the number pad, but without the media keys and extra bulk. I've been interested in getting one but I don't know if they're worth it or not versus full sized. Thanks in advance!
I think I have some stored away in the garage. I'll think about it. We covered them on our website but not the channel
not even subbed but im early, gonna subscribe rn
Thanks dude
@@SwitchandClickOfficial no problem :)
Have you tried one of the coiled cables from Matrix Keyboards? I have a Durgod Hades and I'm wondering if that one would fit. They're really inexpensive in comparison to other brands and look pretty nice.
Haven't tried them
Just bought this with gateron yellows!
Awesome!
i have one and i like it but after trying a keychron i notice how loud this one is
Any freezing problems yet? If yes how can I fix itt
where can I buy the thocc shirt
What is ur favourite keyboard
Stock? I don't have many favorites when it comes to that. But my top picks would be Varmilo VA87M and Keychron K6. But I've been consistently using my KBD75 with lubed Gat Ink Blacks for months now. Love it!
What switches did you use? and which will you recommend for this keyboard?
I think I said what switches in the video
Did you have freezing issue so far?
I want that shirt! Where did you get it?
My teespring store, right under the video on the merch shelf or links in the description
cool video and can you pls make a video about the iqunix f60 its too a very very good keyboard
Maybe someday, but no plans for it currently
i ordered this keyboard today with gateron yellow switches. Lets hope that mine wont have a freezing issue and that i like the switches because i never tried any linear switches before.
I hope not
Have you had any issues so far?
@@EUTOPIATTV no issues so far and i love it. its better than my ducky shine 3.
Any issues yet
i got mine yesterday are you using the stock cable? and do you still get freezes?
Is this better than the ducky one 2 mini?
Could you maybe do a video on how to improve how keys feel that have those extra post and the metal wire guide under them connecting them. My Corsair feels terrible. The enter key sucks . I pulled the cap off and lubed and its better but just has a dull feeling unless I hit the enter key dead center. Is there anything that can be done to improve how these keys feel?
lube the stabs and film them.. you can replace the stabs with really good ones from like durrock but you'd have to desolder prob
I’ve heard on Reddit that some of these units have freezing issues. Have you experienced this with your copy???
chattering mongoose syndrome seems like some people are having that issue
I have not at all, heard the newer units didn't have many problems
Should I get the hades 68 for 150?
I have 2 of these, a hades 68 and 2 Taurus boards. The stabilisers are good to begin with, but all of them develop a very annoying 'ticking sound'. It's not stab rattle, lube does not fix it and its led me to not use any of them anymore, sadly
That said, the white version of the venus feels very nice abd better than the black version (the white has a smoother finish and smoother keycaps).
The extra cables and keycap puller are nice to have and useful with other boards too.
I have noticed the arrow tap function still has a delay, the anne pro 2 has an unnoticeable delay, especially using shift / to get ?
Another thing to note is the USB c port on the venus and hades are in non-standard positions so using the pcb with another case, or using a different pcb with these cases wont work
That's funny I have had the same experience with the white and black versions of both the Anne Pro 2 and the Kemove Shadow/Snowfox. The white versions definitely feel better.
Do you perceive that it has latency or is it fast?
Is it hotswap? Thank you!
@@arguelles7 not sure about latency. No hotswap
I would look at other boards in 2022, most modern ones are hotswap from thr likes of RK, akko, keychron etc
^^√ too bad I can't find any Durgod around my area, but I'm happy with my Anne Pro 2. Thanks for the video ^^√
Amazon?
@@xlEfecxt lmaoooo
durgod and hk, they have hades 68, have you try it yet ?
It's coming...or at least I hope it's coming
@@SwitchandClickOfficial lucky for you because you can make an order in amazon but here i am in VietNam and amazon doesn’t have a shipment to VietNam or sometime it does, we always have to pay about 20-40usd more to have the product on the go. Im kind of crush with durgod too so now im still looking for some place where i can have an order without extra fee or atleast just a few, not like 20-40 usd more 😅
you rock, betty :)
Thank you!
What switches are in the unit you reviewed?
I think Gat Red. I said it somewhere in the video
Does it still have some freezing issues? I heard about it and I want to get this keyboard.
Mine never froze but I never used the stock usb cable it came with. Not sure if the cable was what the issue was but when I did have it, it worked fine.
Durgod's reputation has really dropped with me. I backed their Kickstarter for the Fusion and, like a bunch of other backers, they gave people the wrong keyboard and still hasn't responded to anyone asking for a replacement for over a month. They haven't logged into their KS account since the beginning of September. Then they went and started an Indiegogo for the same product and sold it direct at Taobao before a lot of the backers got their keyboards.
i heard about that, and ya i found it on tmall and taobao ( Everyone was asking for refunds on igegogo or whatever its called.
That is actually a product by HK gaming, not durgod.
tbh i feel like the ducky one 2 mini and the anne pro 2 are getting outperformed and out budgeted (is that a word?) by other affordable options
there still great keyboards tho
Yeah definitely, I like them both, just getting beaten nowadays with all the new 60% boards coming out
Switch and Click yea and hot swapable 60% keyboards are becoming cheaper by the day with more modding compatiblity
@@nullrezki i hear hotswap looses its flavor and people prefer soldered for changing their layers and layout, but I see how hotswap is attractive to someone who doenst mess with that stuff.
chuck grumble really? i dont see that many people talk about soldering pcbs that much.where i go to chat about keyboards people prefer hot swapableable pcbs and they are more affordable
Logitech G413 backlit or Redragon K552 Kumara. I know the comparison is a bit odd but which one is a better keyboard. I've never bought a mechanical key board and my knowledge is pretty bad about them.If someone has a better option in the same price point please do tell. My only demands are price to be somewhere around 60-80/90 dollars( I'll push for the last few,difficult since I live in a developing country) and RGB lights. I hope some keyboard geek friend of mine can guide me or even better the channel lady herself.
Well, my friend, given these two options, I'd go for the G413, since it has a way better build quality compared to the Kumara. Also, Logitech is known to provide a good customer service, while I don't know about Redragon. I believe the Kumara uses Outemu switches, which have had a lot of complaints in recent years, while Logitech uses proprietary Romer-G switches, which are ok. But If I were to ditch these two, I'd go for the HyperX Alloy Origins Core. I believe it's around the same price range and is a fairly decent board. There's a review on it in this channel. BTW, which country do you live in?
@@viniciusrodrigues9592 wow thank you for this detailed reply. I am from Pakistan . I will look for availability of the hyper X keyboard.If it's easily available I could go for it :D
@@darkdragonite316 you're welcome, pal! I live in Brazil, so I know how it's hard and expensive to purchase good mech boards too! Hope you find what you're looking for. Good luck!
@@viniciusrodrigues9592 thanks alot man. You were a big help. 😊😊
The ducky mecha mini has flip up feet with a cast aluminium case, sadly only cherry switches though....
I don't like how the mecha mini has floating keycaps
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Thats oki, i was just letting people know if they were looking for an alu case with adjustable height
i think the ducky has a standard layout so you change the pcb and caps too
@@oatmilk9918 i plan on modding a ducky soon, cant wait to dig in its aluminum guts
In Italy that one cost 130the white and 158 euros the black. Amazon.it
Still...you have to test Iqunix F60 and the Slim one :-)
No plans for it currently
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Maybe one day. The Venus was on my radar before the Iqunix. I hope the next Durgod will be hotswappable :-)
good vid 👌🏿
is it hotswap
no
Are you on the coffee commercial
No lol
you need more subs
Thank you! Would love more 👍
its $129.99 without shipping costs to Peru
Se lo que se siente man, eso si no te emten un aduanazo de paso 😅
Nice Videooo!
Thanks!
Just another Anne Pro 2 style keyboard. Maybe a better version but basically the same thing.
You mean just another 60% board?
hey weird question but i notice you dont use your stickers you get with your products and im a huge sticker person anyway i can have them? lol im neme2018#2764 on discord
I need at least 3 devices bluetooth so is a no for me 😶
Then get the rk61 u can connect 3 devices Bluetooth at once
Mad cap in the title for the price. Click baiting is what every TH-camr resorts to lol
"that ok"
I’m happy to say I’m on of the lucky ppl that disliked
Go for it :)
I liked it
Lol
Do not fat shame the blue cable !!!! It is not fat..... just big boned.....
Hahaha no fat shaming here
literally anything above 60$ is not affordable for me lol
RK61 :)
ya get you some royal kludge!
too bad that it's 150 euros in germany
Are you having any freezing problems after 2 months please respond thank you!
